The integration of InPost with Aptus Shop involves linking the e-commerce platform with the operator’s logistics systems, so that the shop can automatically manage Parcel Lockers, Parcel Points, courier deliveries, shipping labels and delivery statuses.
How does the InPost integration with the Aptus Shop platform work?
System integration involves online data exchange between the shop and the logistics provider’s servers. Depending on the specific version of the implementation and the services used The communication system can use the ShipX API, and in older or specialised integrations, also from mechanisms based on the SOAP protocol. This type of integration means that an order placed by a customer can be automatically converted into a shipment without the need to re-enter the data into an external dashboard.
Which logistics processes does the InPost dispatch module automate?
InPost shipping module automates order processing, dispatching parcels, generating consignment notes and updating logistics data in the shop. The most important benefit is time saved for the administrator. This reduces the number of errors that occur when copying data manually.
The integration of InPost with Aptus Shop supports:
- automation of dispatch,
- order processing via the shop dashboard,
- shipment management,
- preparing courier parcels,
- bulk dispatch of parcels for multiple orders at the same time,
- updating consignment note numbers,
- logistics services for e-commerce.
When sales volumes are higher, it is important that bulk dispatch of parcels. The operator does not need to process each order individually; they can prepare multiple parcels at the same time using pre-set delivery parameters.
Integration can also support omnichannel strategy. If the shop uses additional integration modules, such as xSale or BaseLinker, Aptus Shop will become part of a wider sales ecosystem, encompassing the online shop, marketplace, warehouse and external systems.

What credentials are required to connect to the ShipX API?
To connect Aptus Shop to the ShipX API, you will primarily need an Organisation ID and an Access Token – that is, the organisation number and access key generated by InPost. You can retrieve this information after logging into the Parcel Manager. You can find instructions on how to generate the authorisation details here.
Before you begin the configuration, please ensure that the API has been enabled for your business account and that your shop has access to the correct environment – test or production.
The range of services available and the pricing for parcels depend on the type of business agreement with InPost – this may be a Business Subscription or another model of cooperation. It is therefore worth checking the terms and conditions applicable to your business account before implementation.
It is advisable to base the implementation on InPost technical documentation. The ShipX API is responsible for creating shipments, downloading labels, providing tracking numbers and handling status updates. An error in the token, organisation number or sender details may prevent a shipment from being created.
How do I set up collection points and courier services in the admin panel?
Collection points and courier services are configured in the Aptus Shop admin panel by selecting the appropriate delivery methods, postage costs and parcel specifications. The customer can select your preferred collection point using a responsive map – the Geowidget – or the search function available in the shopping basket. The system allows you to select a Parcel Locker, Parcel Point or another supported collection point, and the selected item is added to the order.
When configuring the system, it is worth taking the following into account:
-
delivery via a parcel locker,
-
collection from a PaczkoPunkt,
-
courier deliveries,
-
weekend delivery,
-
weekend delivery as an additional paid service,
-
delivery costs based on weight,
-
delivery charges depend on the value of the order,
-
dimensions of parcels A, B and C.
From the Aptus Shop admin panel you can manage both the part of the shopping basket that is visible to the customer, as well as the shop’s technical handling of the parcel.
How does the process of generating waybills and dispatching parcels work?
Generating shipping labels in Aptus Shop involves creating a parcel in the InPost system directly from the shop’s admin panel. Once an order has been registered, the administrator can generate shipping documents based on the data stored in the system. The integration transfers the recipient’s details, delivery method, collection point, parcel dimensions and the sender’s address to the InPost system, and then retrieves the completed shipping label.
Shipping labels and waybills are ready for immediate use. The consignment note number is assigned to a specific order, which allows the parcel to be tracked later and the delivery status to be updated automatically.
How does the system update order statuses and track parcels?
The system can automatically update the order status once the parcel has been generated, when a parcel is dispatched or its status is updated by the logistics provider. Usually, once a consignment note has been generated, the order in the shop is given the status ‘shipped’ or another status defined by the administrator. This allows the shop team to see which orders are already being processed by the logistics provider and which still need to be prepared.
The consignment note number is the basis for tracking parcels. It can be sent to the customer via email or text message, or used in the InPost Mobile app. The customer receives a tracking number and can check the status of your parcel in real time.
Automatic status updates improves parcel handling and limits the number of enquiries sent to the shop. Customers do not need to ask whether a parcel has been dispatched, as the system notifies them automatically.
