Shipping integration for webshops and marketplaces

One carrier setup,for every shop you sell on.

Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon each come with their own shipping settings. Zineps imports those orders into one queue, applies carrier rules on your own contracts, creates the labels and sends tracking updates back. Built for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium that sell on their own shop and on marketplaces.

Example queue. Orders, shops, carriers and statuses are illustrative, not a live account.

How do I connect my webshop to shipping carriers?

Connect the shop to one queue, not each carrier to each shop. Zineps imports orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon, applies carrier rules on your own contracts, creates labels and sends tracking updates back. Magento, Shopware and Lightspeed connections are reviewed on a demo, for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Four shops, one queue

Which webshops and marketplaces does Zineps connect?

Zineps is shipping software for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium. It imports orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon into one queue and connects PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS, Bpost and FedEx. Each logo opens that platform's page.

The problem

What goes wrong when every shop has its own shipping setup?

A merchant who sells on their own shop and on a marketplace usually ends up with two shipping routines. Each channel has its own shipping settings, its own place to enter tracking and its own idea of a return. The same parcel to Belgium can then leave with a different carrier depending on where the order came from.

A shipping setup per channel

Shipping methods are configured in the shop, the plugin or the marketplace account. Change a carrier and you change it in every place, if you remember all of them.

Tracking has to travel back

Every channel expects the tracking number in its own way. Done by hand or by separate tools, it is the step that gets skipped on a busy day.

Returns differ per channel

Your own shop and the marketplaces each handle returns their own way. How a marketplace return maps to the Zineps returns portal is reviewed on a demo.

Platform guide

What should you check for each platform?

These are the points that decide how smooth a shipping integration is on each platform, not a Zineps ranking. For Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon, Zineps imports the orders. For Magento, Shopware and Lightspeed, how the connection is made depends on the store, so it is reviewed on a demo. Confirm the fit on your own setup.

Shipping carriers: which carrier fits which laneMulti-carrier shipping software, where the rules run

Where you are today

Do you sell on one shop, or on several channels?

Zineps is shipping software for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium. With one shop today, a connection replaces the copy-and-paste between shop and carrier portal. With several channels today, the same carrier rules apply to every order, whichever shop it came from.

One shop today

Replace the copy-and-paste with a connection

Keep the shop you have. Orders land in a queue, labels are created from there, and the tracking update goes back to the shop and the customer.

  • Orders imported from your shop
  • Labels on your own carrier contracts
  • Tracking updates back to the shop and the customer
See the four steps

Several channels today

One set of rules for every channel

You already sell on your own shop and a marketplace. Put the carrier logic in one place, so the packing desk works from one list whichever channel the order came from.

  • Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon in one queue
  • One place for the carrier rules, instead of a setup per channel
  • Marketplace specifics are reviewed on a demo
See the example rules

One queue

What does Zineps do once the shops are connected?

Zineps imports orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon, applies carrier rules, creates labels on your own contracts, sends tracking updates and runs the returns portal, for PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS, Bpost and FedEx from one queue. Platform-specific options are reviewed on a demo for your setup.

Order import

Orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon land in one queue, so the packing desk works from one list.

Carrier rules

A rule chooses the carrier by destination, weight or the promise made at checkout. You can use that rule on every channel that shares the promise. Marketplace-specific rules are reviewed on a demo.

Label creation

Create labels for PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS, Bpost 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. What each marketplace expects is reviewed on a demo.

Returns portal

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

Your own contracts

Bring the carrier contracts you already have. If you need one more, we review that on a demo for your setup.

From the channels you sell on

How do I connect several shops to my carriers?

Start from your channels, not from the connector list. Write down where orders come from, check which shipping method each channel shows the customer, connect the shops to one queue, then set the carrier rules once with a fallback. Review the tracking updates after the first week and change a rule where a lane is not what you promised.

  1. 01

    List your channels

    Your own shop, plus every marketplace. Note which carrier each channel uses today and who enters the tracking number.

  2. 02

    Check the promise per channel

    What delivery option does the customer see at checkout on each channel? That promise decides what the carrier rule has to deliver.

  3. 03

    Connect the shops to one queue

    Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon orders import into Zineps. Magento, Shopware and Lightspeed setups are reviewed on a demo.

  4. 04

    Set the rules once, then review

    One carrier rule per lane, with a fallback, for channels that share the promise. Check tracking updates after the first week and adjust. Marketplace-specific rules are reviewed on a demo.

How a channel order gets its carrier

Three channels, one rule set

This is a hypothetical example, not a customer result and not a volume Zineps has measured. It pictures a Dutch webshop that sells on its own shop, on bol.com and on Amazon. The rules below only show how one set can serve every channel. Your channels, parcels and contracts decide which carrier is named.

Example rules

One rule set, every channel

The same queue for every shop

In this example the shop does not keep a carrier setting per channel. The order is imported, the rule looks at destination and weight, and the label is created with the carrier that rule names. If the carrier for Belgium changes next quarter, one rule changes.

Tracking updates and returns follow from the same queue in this example. The packing desk works from one list. What a marketplace expects in its dispatch confirmation, and how a marketplace return maps to the portal, is reviewed on a demo.

Carrier rules
  1. 01 IfAny channel, Netherlands, standard parcel

    ThenPostNL

  2. 02 IfAny channel, Belgium

    ThenBpost

  3. 03 IfAny channel, Germany

Review. Orders outside the rules wait for your team. Example rules. Your rules are set with you on a demo.

Example rules, not a live account and not a recommendation for your lanes. Which carrier fits is decided by your parcels and your contracts.

FAQ

Questions about connecting a webshop to carriers

These answers cover how a webshop is connected to carriers, what changes when you sell on several channels, and what is reviewed on a demo. Prices and service levels always come from your own carrier contracts.

01

How do I connect my webshop to shipping carriers?

Connect the shop to one queue, not each carrier to each shop. Zineps imports orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon, applies carrier rules on your own contracts, creates labels and sends tracking updates back. Magento, Shopware and Lightspeed connections are reviewed on a demo, for webshops in the Netherlands and Belgium.

02

Which webshop platforms does Zineps connect to?

Zineps imports orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, bol.com and Amazon. Magento, Shopware and Lightspeed eCom each have their own page, and how the connection is made for your store is reviewed on a demo. Every platform page on this site links to the others.

03

Can I ship orders from my webshop and bol.com in one place?

Yes. Orders from your own shop and from bol.com land in the same list, and labels are created from that list. Tracking goes back to each channel. Whether an order ships with your own carrier or through Verzenden via bol is part of the setup we review on a demo.

04

Do I need a plugin for every carrier?

Not with a queue in front of the carriers. The shop connects to Zineps once, and Zineps creates the labels for PostNL, DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS, Bpost and FedEx on your own contracts. Which connection method fits your shop, app, API or plugin, depends on the platform.

05

What happens to tracking numbers?

When a label is created, the tracking update goes to the customer and back to the shop. What a marketplace expects in its dispatch confirmation differs per channel, so those fields are reviewed on a demo for your account.

06

Do I need my own carrier contracts?

You can bring the contracts you already have and ship on those terms. If you need one more, Zineps can introduce a logistics partner. We review that on a demo for your setup.

07

Does the returns portal work for every channel?

The Zineps returns portal sits on the same queue as the shops named on this page. The customer starts the return, a label is created, and your team sees the status next to the original order. How returns from a marketplace map to that portal is reviewed on a demo.

08

Does Zineps replace my webshop platform?

No. Orders still start in your shop or marketplace. Zineps takes over the shipping work after the order: carrier choice, labels, tracking updates and returns.
