Postal Shipping Provider
With the 'Postal' shipping provider, Picqer creates its own address label for mail you send with PostNL, with a KIX code, a postage paid sign, or both. Picqer doesn't register the shipment with PostNL, and there's no tracking code. To send parcels that are pre-registered with PostNL straight away, or parcels with tracking, connect PostNL instead.
Preparation
You don't need an account or API details. You can only use the postage paid sign as a PostNL business customer. PostNL then bills the postage afterwards to your customer number.
Connect the shipping provider
Go to Settings > Shipping providers > Add new shipping provider > Postal, give the shipping provider a name and click 'Save'.
Set up a shipping profile
Picqer creates a landscape A6 label with your customer's address. The shipping profile decides what else goes on it.
- Include postal paid sign: choose 'Yes, PostNL' for mail within the Netherlands and 'Yes, PostNL Priority' for mail abroad. If you use your own stamps or aren't a PostNL business customer, choose 'No'.
- Text on label: your own address isn't added to the label automatically. To add a return address, enter it here. This text is the same on every label.
- Add KIX code: PostNL uses the KIX code to sort mail automatically. Picqer builds it from the postcode and house number, and only for addresses in the Netherlands. If Picqer can't find a house number in the address, the label has no KIX code.
- Public name: Picqer passes this name, for example PostNL, on to your store with the shipment details. If you leave it empty, your store gets 'Postal'. The name doesn't appear on the label.
