What it does
Shipping with PostNL usually means copying order details by hand, guessing at rates and sending tracking numbers one by one. This plugin brings that work into your WooCommerce store. It pulls shipping costs from PostNL's data and shows them at checkout, so customers see the rate before they pay. It also offers several delivery choices, such as parcel, express and pickup points, so shoppers can pick the option that suits them.
Behind the scenes, the plugin generates PostNL shipping labels directly from your WooCommerce orders and adds order status updates to your dashboard. That cuts down on manual typing and the errors that come with it. Tracking is built in, so customers can follow their shipments after purchase. It suits merchants shipping within the Netherlands, and PostNL's international delivery options are included for orders going abroad.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores shipping orders within the Netherlands
- Small businesses using PostNL for parcel delivery
- Shops sending packages internationally through PostNL
