Preparation
To connect Picqer to DeliveryMatch, you need an API key and a Webshop ID. You can find both in DeliveryMatch.
Log in to DeliveryMatch and go to 'Settings' > 'Apikey'.
Click 'New' to add a new API key. Save the API key.
Go to 'Other' > 'Setup' > 'Clients'. The first column shows the Webshop ID of each store. Save the Webshop ID of the store you want to create shipping labels for in Picqer.
Connect the shipping provider
Enter the Webshop ID and the API key.
Click 'Save'.
Set up a shipping profile
Once connected, you create a shipping profile. Each shipping profile is a fixed combination of DeliveryMatch settings. Under 'Shipping method', you choose which carrier and service DeliveryMatch ships with. The sender details on the label, such as your phone number, are set in DeliveryMatch, not in Picqer.
Pickup instructions
The shipping profile has a 'Pickup instructions' field. This field is optional. DeliveryMatch reads what you enter here as codes, separated by hyphens, in this order: [number of parcels]-[channel ID]-[warehouse code]-[package type]. For example "2-0-1-COLLI".
- Number of parcels: 2 to 19. If you leave it empty or enter 1, DeliveryMatch looks at the boxes in the shipment. See multiple boxes per shipment.
- Channel ID: the ID of your channel. 0 means no channel.
- Warehouse code: the number from the warehouse code in DeliveryMatch. For W1, enter 1.
- Package type: for example COLLI or PALLET. DeliveryMatch puts that type on every parcel in the shipment. Carriers that need a packaging type, mainly pallet and freight carriers, use it, and DeliveryMatch uses it for rates per package type. Which values are valid depends on the carrier and your parcel settings in DeliveryMatch.
Multiple boxes per shipment
You can pass on a shipment in multiple boxes in one of two ways. Use only one method, to avoid confusion.
- Through the shipment in Picqer. When you create the shipment, enter the number of boxes under 'Parcel count'. DeliveryMatch only includes boxes with a known length, width and height. It skips boxes without dimensions, and the shipment stays a single parcel. If you choose this option, make sure you use packaging in Picqer.
- Through the shipping profile. In the shipping profile, enter a number from 2 to 19 as the number of parcels under 'Pickup instructions'. DeliveryMatch then creates that many parcels, with standard dimensions and the weight split evenly.
Accidentally using both options? Then the number of boxes set in your shipping profile takes priority. If you create a shipment with 3 boxes in Picqer and the shipping profile says 2, you get 2 parcels.
Pickup locations
DeliveryMatch supports PostNL pickup locations. If your customer picked a PostNL pickup location at checkout, DeliveryMatch ships the shipment there. This only works if your store passes your customer's choice on and PostNL is active in your DeliveryMatch account. See shipping options per store for which stores pass the choice on.
In the shipping profile, set 'Shipping method' to 'Default delivery option' or a PostNL service. If you choose a service from another carrier, that takes priority and DeliveryMatch does not ship with PostNL.
