What API credentials are required to authorise the connection?

To authorise the ShopGold connection with InPost First and foremost, you will need an API token and an organisation ID, and when implementing InPost Pay, also the Client ID, Client Secret, POS ID and Merchant Client ID. An active contract with the logistics operator InPost is required to set up the integration. Only once the contract has been activated can authorisation keys be generated and the shop connected to the carrier’s services.

Before going live, it is worth testing how the integration works in a test environment. This allows you to verify the accuracy of the data, the functionality of the labels, communication with the API and the handling of statuses without the risk of errors on actual orders.

Communication should be secured using SSL encryption, and the processing of customer data must comply with the GDPR. This applies in particular to address details, telephone numbers, email addresses and payment information.

How do you manage the dispatch process and generate shipping labels?

The dispatch process in ShopGold allows you to manage by generating dispatch labels, creating waybills, arranging collections and synchronising parcel statuses. Once an order has been placed, the shop forwards the details to the InPost system. A shipping label and parcel number are then generated on this basis. Labels can be produced in A4 and A6P formats, which facilitates both standard office printing and use with label printers.

Discover the ten most important features of dispatch management:

• generating shipping labels,

• creating consignment notes,

• printing of labels in A4 or A6P format,

• order for the collection of parcels from the warehouse,

• a regular courier delivery,

• management of courier drop-offs,

• updating parcel statuses,

• providing the customer with the parcel number,

• sending email and SMS notifications,

• link to track your parcel.

Automatic real-time status synchronisation organises logistics processes. The shop, the customer and InPost all have access to the same order information: whether the parcel has been prepared, dispatched, collected by the courier, delivered to a collection point or handed over to the recipient. With a higher volume of orders, a fixed courier collection slot is particularly useful. The shop can prepare parcels at specific times, and the courier will collect them without the need to manually report each collection.

How can I integrate ShopGold with InPost using third-party sales management systems?

ShopGold can also be integrated with InPost via external sales management systems, such as Apilo or Sellasist, particularly in advanced multi-channel sales. Such tools are useful when a shop sells not only via its own website but also via marketplaces. An external system can retrieve orders from multiple channels, synchronise stock levels, update prices and transfer data to the dispatch system.
