CCV Shop integration

Today we’re launching a new standard webshop integration for Picqer: CCV Shop. The integration is available as an app in the CCV Shop App Store and was developed by Picqer.

CCV Shop

CCV Shop is a complete webshop platform from the Netherlands. You can set up a new store in a single day, with or without help from CCV’s team of experts. Founded in 1999, CCV Shop is one of the longest-standing platforms around.

Orders, stock and shipments

The CCV Shop integration works just like our other webshop integrations:

  • We import new products from CCV Shop
  • We import paid orders from CCV Shop
  • We sync shipping status and tracking codes back to CCV Shop
  • We update your CCV Shop stock levels in real time

Set up in 2 minutes

You can connect your CCV Shop to Picqer in just 2 minutes. Check out our support article for step-by-step instructions.

Why should I use a barcode scanner while picking?

Welcome to a new series: Ask Casper. In this series, I (Casper), co-founder of Picqer, answer your questions about warehouses, fulfillment and inventory management.

This week’s first question:
Scanning every product during picking takes time. So why should I use a barcode scanner?

Fully automatic shipping labels

How do you make one-click shipping labels even faster? By removing the one click. And now, we’ve truly got fully automatic shipping labels.

As soon as you scan the last product on the picklist with your barcode scanner, Picqer automatically creates the shipment. That shipment is then printed instantly using automatic printing.

Want to select a different shipping method instead? After scanning the last product, you have 2 seconds to move your mouse. This cancels the automatic creation, allowing you to manually choose another shipping method.

Automatic shipment creation is enabled by default for everyone. Prefer to create shipments manually? You can disable automatic shipments in the general settings.

Templates and order confirmations

Alongside the recently launched shipping notifications, today we’re introducing automatic order confirmations. With this feature, Picqer automatically sends an email to your customer confirming that their order has been received.

Dynamic content

You can fully customize the message text, just like with shipping notifications. Including ‘if-then’ conditions that let you adjust the content based on things like available stock or shipping method.

You can edit the text under Settings > Templates > Your template > Order confirmation. If you set the email to "Active" there, it will be automatically sent for every new order.

Prefer to send confirmations manually? That’s still possible from the order page. Just keep the Order Confirmation email in the template set to "Inactive" so it won’t be sent automatically.

Multiple templates

Do you have a Team plan or higher? Then you can now add extra templates. This allows you to create a different template for each webshop, for example.

Each template can have its own layout for documents like picklists and packing slips, and you can customize the content of your emails.

This helps you keep your customers even better—and more beautifully—informed about the status of their order.

Improved product import in Picqer

Our Excel import was already pretty great—if we may say so ;) But we thought it could be even better. That’s why we’ve completely redesigned the Excel import feature for products.

As much as you like (almost)

The previous import feature worked for about 2,000 to 5,000 rows, depending on the number of columns. That was enough for most webshops, but more and more users started splitting up Excel files just to make importing possible. Not the kind of experience we want for Picqer users.

With the new import feature, you can add as many rows as you want. Technically there’s still a limit somewhere, but we haven’t found a file that was too large to import yet.

Progress and cancel option

The new import screen shows you exactly how many products have already been imported and how many are still in progress. So you’ll never be left wondering if Picqer is done yet.

Did you suddenly realize you made a mistake just after clicking ‘Import’? You can now cancel the import at any time to minimize the impact.
