PostNL

Connect PostNL

PostNL wants a complete delivery address, the right product type for letterbox mail or a parcel, and a barcode per shipment before a label comes out. Ship to a pickup point or abroad and other fields apply again. Today you retype those details from Bol.com or your webshop into Mijn PostNL. Schakel registers every order automatically, pulls the label and puts the track-and-trace number back to the source.

What travels with PostNL

  • Orders into PostNL

    Every Bol.com or webshop order is registered as a shipment, with a complete address, house number split out, country and order number.

  • Shipping labels and barcodes

    PostNL assigns a barcode per shipment and creates the label, letterbox mail or parcel, ready to print and stick on.

  • Track-and-trace back

    The track-and-trace number goes back automatically to Bol.com or your webshop, so the customer can follow the shipment.

  • Shipping status

    The moment you ship, the status travels back, so the order reads as shipped on both sides.

Why connect PostNL

  • No more retyping addresses into Mijn PostNL.
  • Track-and-trace is back in Bol.com and your webshop on its own.
  • Letterbox mail and parcels get the right product type automatically.
  • When it gets busy the shipping work no longer slips.

How it works

    Connect PostNL and your sales channel

    In Mijn PostNL you create the API credentials for your customer number and hand them to Schakel, together with access to your Bol.com or webshop.

  2. 02

    Orders arrive ship-ready

    Every new order is registered as a shipment with PostNL with a complete address and the right product type for parcel or letterbox.

  3. 03

    Tracking goes back on its own

    As soon as the label is created the track-and-trace number goes back to the channel the order came from.

PostNL, common questions

Can I ship my Bol.com orders through PostNL?

Yes. Request the connector and get access; your Bol.com orders are then registered with PostNL automatically and the track-and-trace goes back to Bol.com.

Does this work for letterbox mail and parcels?

Yes. Based on the shipment the right PostNL product type is chosen, so a letterbox parcel is not registered as a parcel and the other way round.

What do I need to start?

A PostNL business account with API credentials from Mijn PostNL and the sales channel you want to connect. Request the connector and get access.
