π Carriers
In 30 seconds
- They're the carriers you pick in each order's Shipping tab.
- With a URL template that includes
{tracking}, the tracking number becomes the "Track shipment" link. - The list comes filled in for your country; those carriers can only be enabled or disabled. The ones you add yourself can be edited and deleted.
- The list is managed by the Owner and the Admins.
Every workshop has its own list of carriers for shipments. They're the ones that appear in the dropdown on each order (Shipping tab) and the ones that turn a tracking number into a link for tracking the parcel.
The list is managed by the Owner and the Administrators in Settings β Operations β Shipping carriers.
How the list arrives
When your workshop is created, the list is filled in automatically with the usual carriers for your country:
| Country | Carriers |
|---|---|
| Spain | Correos, Correos Express, SEUR, MRW, GLS, Nacex, CTT Express, Envialia, Tipsa, Paack and InPost |
| Portugal | CTT, CTT Expresso, DPD, GLS, SEUR and Chronopost |
| France | Colissimo, Chronopost, Mondial Relay, Colis PrivΓ©, DPD and GLS |
| Italy | Poste Italiane, BRT, GLS, SDA and InPost |
| Germany | DHL, Deutsche Post, Hermes, DPD and GLS |
| Austria | Γsterreichische Post, DPD, GLS, DHL and Hermes |
| United Kingdom | Royal Mail, Parcelforce, Evri, DPD and Yodel |
| Poland | InPost, Poczta Polska, DPD, DHL, GLS and Orlen Paczka |
| Czech Republic | ΔeskΓ‘ poΕ‘ta, PPL, ZΓ‘silkovna, DPD and GLS |
| Netherlands | PostNL, DHL eCommerce, DPD and GLS |
In every case, the international ones too (DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT), with your country's tracking page where there is one. If your country isn't in the table, the list starts with the international ones only. From there you adjust it to suit you.
Two kinds of row, and they're not treated the same
The carriers that come with your country are built in: you can't change their name or their tracking link, or delete them β only enable or disable them. The ones you add can be edited and deleted. We maintain your country's list ourselves: if the link of a built-in one doesn't work for you, disable it and add your own with the right link.
| Comes with the country | Added by you | |
|---|---|---|
| Enable / disable | β | β |
| Edit name or template | β | β |
| Delete | β | β |
If you don't use one of the country ones, disable it: it disappears from the order dropdown without deleting anything.
Adding a carrier of your own
Click "Add carrier" and fill in:
- Name β however you want it to appear in the dropdown (e.g. My local courier).
- Tracking URL template (optional) β the carrier's tracking address, writing
{tracking}where the tracking number goes. For example:https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/tracking-results/{tracking}. If you leave it blank, the carrier still appears in the dropdown, but the order won't show the automatic tracking link.
Why the template with {tracking}? Because that way, on every order, when you type the tracking number BolloPrint builds the "Track shipment" link on its own β you never copy URLs by hand.
How it's used on an order
On an order β Shipping tab, you pick the carrier from the dropdown and type the tracking number. If that carrier has a template, the "Track shipment" link appears and opens the tracking page directly.
There's no "Otherβ¦" option
The dropdown shows only the active carriers on your list; there's no free-text field for typing in a one-off. If you need to use one that isn't there, add it here first, in Settings β Operations β Shipping carriers.
