PPL & Shipdock Features
Powerful integration features for your Shopify store
PPL Label Printing
Create and print PPL labels from Shopify, one by one or for up to 50 orders in a batch. Labels are PDF files in A6, or four A6 labels on an A4 sheet. Shipdock can also create labels automatically when an order is created or fulfilled. Creating labels requires the Full plan. PPL shipments can be cancelled from the app, and a sandbox mode is available for testing.
PPL Pickup Points Widget
Customers choose a PPL pickup point from a list with search by address, city or postcode, with the nearest points first. A Google map can be added with your own Google Maps API key. The selection takes place in checkout on Shopify Plus, and on the Thank-you and Order-status page on other Shopify plans, and is saved to the order.
PPL API Connection
Shipdock connects to your own PPL account through the carrier's API. When the order is fulfilled, the tracking number, carrier name and tracking link are written to Shopify, and Shopify emails them to the customer. Shipdock does not show parcel statuses and sends no tracking notifications. PPL tracking numbers arrive with a delay and are fetched in the background. For COD parcels Shipdock checks the delivery and marks the order as paid.
