# How do I connect PostNL to bol?

> Connect PostNL to bol through ShopLinkr: ship your bol orders with PostNL labels in one click and send the track & trace back to bol automatically for you.

Want to connect PostNL to bol? bol does not link to PostNL directly. You need a layer in between that pulls in your orders and turns them into shipping labels. That is what ShopLinkr does: you connect both your bol seller account and PostNL to ShopLinkr, and from there you ship every bol order with a PostNL label in one click. The track & trace goes back to bol automatically.

## Connect PostNL to bol in 4 steps

The whole connection runs through ShopLinkr. You will need a bol seller account and a PostNL business account.

1. Create a ShopLinkr account and log in.
2. Connect your bol sales channel. Your orders then come into ShopLinkr in one central place.
3. Connect PostNL as a [carrier](/en/features/carriers). Alongside PostNL, ShopLinkr also supports DPD, MyParcel, Sendcloud and more.
4. Open a bol [order](/en/features/orders) and print a PostNL label. The track & trace is sent back to bol automatically.

Don't want to print labels by hand? With AutoPrint your shipping labels roll out automatically as soon as an order is ready to ship.

## Why use ShopLinkr instead of doing it manually

Creating labels in a separate shipping tool and matching each one to a bol order by hand costs time and invites mistakes. By bringing PostNL and bol together in ShopLinkr, you work from a single overview:

- **Faster shipping:** open an order, print a label, and the track & trace flows back to bol on its own.
- **No overselling:** your [inventory](/en/features/inventory) stays synced in real time across all your channels.
- **Smoother packing:** gather several orders on a [pick list](/en/features/pick-lists) with a smart warehouse route and scan at the packing station.
- **More channels:** if you also sell through Shopify, WooCommerce or Kaufland, you ship those orders the same way.
