How do I connect DPD to bol?
Connecting DPD to your bol orders? With ShopLinkr you process bol orders centrally, print DPD labels in one click, and send track & trace back automatically.

Want to connect DPD to bol? You don't link the two directly: bol is a large Dutch sales channel and DPD is a parcel carrier. ShopLinkr sits in between. You pull your bol orders into ShopLinkr, connect your DPD account there, and print your shipping label in one click. The track & trace is sent back to bol automatically, so your customer can follow the parcel. Here's how to set it up.
Connecting DPD to ShopLinkr
You add DPD once as a carrier. After that you can create a DPD label for any order without logging in to the carrier again.
Log in to your ShopLinkr account.
Go to Carriers in the menu.
Click Add and choose DPD from the list.
Enter your DPD details and save the connection.
Besides DPD, ShopLinkr also supports PostNL, MyParcel, Sendcloud and more. If you want to switch later or run several carriers side by side, you add them the same way.
Pulling in your bol orders
Connect your bol account as a sales channel in ShopLinkr. New orders then arrive automatically in your orders overview, alongside orders from any other channels such as Shopify or WooCommerce. That way you handle everything from one screen instead of platform by platform.
If you sell across multiple channels, ShopLinkr keeps your inventory in sync in real time. Sell a product on bol and the stock drops on your other channels too. That prevents you from selling something that's no longer in stock.
From order to DPD label
Once a bol order comes in, shipping it takes just a few steps:
Select the order (or several orders at once).
Choose DPD as the carrier.
Print the label in one click, or print it automatically with AutoPrint.
ShopLinkr sends the track & trace back to bol automatically, so there's nothing to enter by hand. When you're working through larger volumes, pick lists with a smart route and barcode scanning help you pack faster and without errors.
