You have now connected Picqer with PakketMail.
Now, we will add shipping profiles. You can create as many shipping profiles as you want for each carrier. For advice on setting up your Shipping Methods, you can reach out to PakketMail. Contact them or consult the installation guide in your PakketMail account (Settings > Integrations > All integrations > Picqer).
Create Shipment
After setting up a new parcel service, you can place a test order with the new shipping method in your webshop. You can then process this order in Picqer, including printing the shipping label. This ensures that all settings are correct. In the article How to create a shipment in Picqer you can read how this works.
If you have added multiple shipping profiles, you can further automate the choice between them using rules.
