What is Bpost shipping software?

Bpost shipping software is the layer between a webshop and Bpost, the Belgian postal operator. Zineps imports orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon, applies your carrier rules, creates the shipping label and sends tracking updates to the shop and the customer. You bring your own Bpost contract and keep PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS or FedEx in the same queue, for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Bpost next to the carriers you use in the Netherlands

One queue for Bpost and the carriers beside it

Zineps is shipping software for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium that ship with Bpost and other carriers. Label creation, tracking updates and the returns portal sit beside PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS and FedEx, so Bpost is one carrier in the same queue rather than a separate login.

The problem

Belgium is one border away. The shipping work doubles anyway

A Dutch webshop usually has its Netherlands flow figured out. The first Belgian orders then arrive and someone opens a second carrier portal, copies addresses and checks by hand which parcels should go with Bpost. When that happens per shop, a Bpost label becomes a manual step and the tracking status never reaches the customer.

A second portal for one border

Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon each have their own shipping screen. Add a Bpost login on top and someone still copies orders between them before a label exists.

The customer asks where the parcel is

The label was created, but the tracking update never reached the shop or the customer. Support opens another tab and reads a carrier page out loud.

The Belgian return starts in an inbox

The outbound Bpost label is done. The return still arrives as an email. The returns portal is there so the customer can start it, and your team can see the status next to the order.

Where you are today

With a Bpost contract, or still sending Belgium through PostNL

Zineps is for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium that already have a Bpost contract, and for shops that ship to Belgium with PostNL, DHL or another carrier and want to compare. Both start from imported orders, carrier rules and labels in one queue.

You have a Bpost contract

Keep the contract. Lose the extra portal

Your Bpost terms stay yours. Zineps uses that contract for labels, tracking updates and the returns portal, next to the other carriers you already ship with.

  • Orders imported from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon
  • Carrier rules that choose Bpost or another carrier per parcel
  • Labels and tracking updates from the same queue

Belgium goes through another carrier today

Bpost sits in the same rules as the rest

PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS or FedEx may fit a lane better. The rule decides, and you can change it without touching the shop.

  • Bring your own carrier contracts, including Bpost
  • One returns portal when the parcel comes back
  • If you still need a Bpost contract, that is reviewed on a demo

What you get

The Bpost work that should not be a second job

Zineps imports orders, applies carrier rules, creates the Bpost label, sends tracking updates and runs the returns portal from one queue. You bring your own Bpost contract and can keep PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS and FedEx beside it. bpack service options, pickup points and parcel lockers are reviewed on a demo for your setup.

Order import

Orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon land in one queue, so a Bpost label starts from the order instead of a copied address.

Carrier rules

Rules choose Bpost or another carrier by weight, destination or the promise you made. Changing a rule does not mean changing the shop.

Label creation

Create the Bpost label, and the label for PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS or FedEx, from the same queue. One order or the day's batch.

Tracking updates

When the label is created, the tracking update goes to the customer and back to the shop. Support stops reading a carrier page out loud.

Returns portal

The customer starts the return, a label is created, and your team sees the status next to the original order. Bpost return options are reviewed on a demo for your setup.

Your own Bpost contract

Bring the Bpost contract you already have. If you do not have one yet, we review that on a demo for your setup.

Getting started

How does shipping with Bpost work in Zineps?

Shipping with Bpost in Zineps starts when orders are imported from your webshop. Carrier rules decide when a parcel goes with Bpost and when PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS or FedEx is the better fit. Zineps creates the label, sends tracking updates to the customer and keeps returns in the same portal. You bring your own Bpost contract. bpack service options, pickup points and parcel lockers are reviewed on a demo for your setup.

How a parcel gets its carrier

Carrier rules, with Bpost in the list

Carrier rules decide whether a parcel ships with Bpost or with PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS or FedEx. The example below is an illustration of that logic for a webshop in the Netherlands or Belgium, not a live account and not a customer result.

Example rules

Bpost when the rule says Bpost

The same queue as your other carriers

Picture a Dutch webshop that ships a few hundred parcels a week, almost all inside the Netherlands. A handful go to Belgium. The order is already imported, so the question is only which carrier the rule picks for a Belgian address: Bpost, PostNL or another carrier you brought. You change that rule in one place when your contract or your promise changes.

Tracking updates go to the customer from that same queue. If the parcel comes back, the returns portal is the same one your team already uses. Options that depend on your Bpost contract, such as bpack services, pickup points or parcel lockers, are reviewed on a demo for your setup.

05

Can I ship to Belgium with PostNL instead of Bpost?

Yes, if your PostNL contract covers Belgium. Zineps does not decide that for you. A carrier rule does, and you can compare Bpost, PostNL and the other carriers you brought on the same Belgian orders. Prices, delivery times and pickup point coverage come from your contracts, so check them with each carrier.

06

Does the returns portal work when I ship with Bpost?

Yes. The returns portal is the same one used across Zineps. The customer starts the return, a label is created, and your team sees the status next to the original order. Bpost return options are reviewed on a demo for your setup.

07

Does Zineps replace the Bpost portal?

For daily label work, that is the idea: your team creates and tracks Bpost parcels from the Zineps queue next to the other carriers. Your Bpost contract, invoices and account stay with Bpost. Which service options you need on a demo account is something we confirm on the demo.
