Social Shipping
Sell products through social media and create shipping labels directly with Social Shipping!
What is Social Shipping?
Currently, when a social media platform is used as a sales channel, it takes many actions to realise the actual sale. Data has to be requested, a label is created manually using the data, information needs to be given about the shipping and delivery method and, finally, payment takes place. This process is error-prone and cumbersome. It can be much easier, more user-friendly and more appealing with Social Shipping. Social Shipping is the functionality within our platform that enables you to create a shipping label for the products you sell directly from any social media platform.
Social Shipping: how it works. Your social media order will be ready for shipping in just a few simple steps.
1. Generate a link for the order.
2. Share the link through social media, by email or on WhatsApp.
3. Your customer enters the necessary details for the shipping label.
4. The shipping label appears in your shipments summary automatically and is ready to be printed.
5. Stick the shipping label onto the shipment and drop the shipment off at a PostNL location near you.
