How do I connect QLS to Shopify?
Connect QLS and Shopify through ShopLinkr and process your orders in one place. Order in, print the label, track & trace back automatically. Here's how.
Published on June 2, 2024
You don't connect QLS to Shopify directly, you connect them through ShopLinkr. Shopify is your store, QLS is your parcel carrier, and ShopLinkr sits in between. You link your Shopify store as a sales channel and QLS as a carrier. From then on your Shopify orders flow in automatically, you print the QLS label, and the track & trace goes back to your customer on its own.
How the connection works
ShopLinkr is the central hub where your orders and shipping come together. You connect Shopify once, and after that you never have to retype data between your store and your carrier again. That saves time and prevents mistakes in addresses and parcels. If you also sell on other channels alongside Shopify, like bol or WooCommerce, you handle those orders in the same overview, with the same QLS connection. You don't have to set up shipping separately per channel.
QLS is a parcel carrier. If you want to ship with another carrier alongside QLS, you simply connect it as well and choose who delivers each shipment. That keeps your shipping costs in check without switching systems.
Connecting QLS to Shopify in 5 steps
Make sure you have a ShopLinkr account, an active QLS account, and a Shopify store. Keep your login details handy and follow these steps:
Create a ShopLinkr account and connect your Shopify store as a sales channel.
Connect QLS as a carrier in ShopLinkr.
Your Shopify orders now flow into ShopLinkr automatically.
Process an order and request the QLS shipping label straight from your pick list.
The track & trace goes back to your Shopify store automatically, so you and your customer always know where a parcel is.
Don't want to click labels one by one? With AutoPrint, labels roll out automatically as soon as an order is ready to ship.
More than just printing labels
Once Shopify is connected, you get the rest of ShopLinkr too. Your inventory syncs in real time across all your channels, so you never sell what you no longer have in stock. On top of that you get pick lists with a smart route through the warehouse, returns processing, purchase advice per supplier, and reports on revenue and margin. That way you process your entire order flow in one place instead of across separate systems.
Frequently asked questions
Does the address go onto the QLS label automatically?
Yes. Based on the order's shipping details, ShopLinkr requests the label from QLS. If something isn't right, you can adjust the address details manually before you create the label.
My Shopify orders aren't coming in, what now?
Check that your Shopify store is correctly connected as a sales channel and that the connection is active. If you're still stuck, reach out to support.
