Integrating InPost with Sky-Shop – a step-by-step guide

• updating parcel statuses,

• support for business scalability as order volumes increase.

Another very important aspect of integration is asynchronous operation. Logistical operations can be carried out in the background, which improves system stability and helps to maintain business continuity even when order volumes are high. This is essential for shops that handle a large number of parcels every day and cannot afford any downtime in the admin panel.

How do I obtain the token and organisation ID from the InPost system?

The Access Token and Organisation ID are retrieved from the InPost system after activating your business account and logging in to Parcel Manager. For the integration to work correctly, you will need an active InPost business account, company details and invoicing details, the customer number specified in the courier or commercial contract, an Access Token, and the Organisation ID.

The data collection process is as follows:

1. Log in to the Parcel Manager.

2. Go to your account settings or API integrations.

3. Select the option to generate a token.

4. Please enter the required customer number if the system asks for it.

5. Copy the Access Token.

6. Read the Organisation ID.

7. Keep your details in a safe place and do not share them with unauthorised persons.

Access Token acts as a security key. It enables the authorisation of communication between Sky-Shop and InPost, and should therefore be treated as a confidential part of the configuration.

How do I set up the InPost integration in the Sky-Shop dashboard?

The InPost integration in Sky-Shop is configured in the shop’s admin panel by entering the API details and activating the relevant integration module. Depending on the module version, the configuration may include data for the v2 API and the PS API. The most important thing is to enter the token and organisation ID correctly and to set the default parameters for shipments.

1. Log in to the Sky-Shop admin panel.

2. Go to the Settings or Integrations section.

3. Select the InPost module.

4. Enter the Access Token.

5. Enter the Organisation ID.

6. Set the default sender and company details.

7. Save the configuration by clicking the Save button.

• Visibility of the delivery method in the shopping basket.

How do I view a map of collection points in my shopping basket?

Map of collection points at Sky-Shop displays the InPost Geowidget, which is an interactive map allowing customers to select a delivery point when placing an order. The feature may work without requiring additional activation if it is supported by the selected module and correctly linked to the delivery method. The customer selects a Parcel Locker, Parcelshop outlet, POP or another available collection point directly in the shopping basket.

Geowidget allows you to:

• selection of a collection point,

• selecting a delivery point on the map,

• recording the address of the collection point in the order,

• a change of destination,

• a more efficient ordering process,

• a better user experience when shopping online.

Thanks to Geowidget Customers don’t need to look elsewhere to find out the parcel locker’s code or enter the address manually. Fewer steps mean a lower risk of error and a more convenient way to complete your order.

How can I automate the generation of labels and the posting of parcels?

In Sky-Shop, you can automate the generation of labels and the dispatch of parcels directly from the shop dashboard, using order data and the InPost integration. Once an order has been placed, the system can create a consignment, generate a consignment note and download a courier label. Available label formats include A4, A6P and PDF files.

Automation of label generation and parcel dispatch includes:

• creating consignment notes,

• recording the parcel number in the order,

• providing the tracking number to the customer,

• parcel tracking,

• an update on the order status,

• shipment status notifications,

• collection requests and booking a courier,

• bulk generation of collection orders.
