The built-in logistics solution nShift eCom LITE with no monthly fee enables you to use the services supported by nShift without having to register as nShift's customer, using your own contract numbers instead.
nShift eCom LITE enables your online store to use logistics companies that you already have an agreement with but MyCashflow has no direct integrations for.
There is also the monthly-charged nShift eCom PRO extension, with which you'll have at your disposal all nShift's delivery services as well as your own nShift account.
The PRO extension pays off if your store has a substantial number of shipments.
If you use the nShift eCom LITE service, no nShift account is going to be created for you.
nShift eCom LITE is built into all paid MyCashflow plans.
Pricing
The fixed costs of using the nShift eCom LITE service are €0.40/printed shipping label. Additionally, logistics companies might charge you separately for using some specific services.
The costs are invoiced jointly together with your monthly fees for using MyCashflow.
Supported delivery services
The nShift eCom LITE integration in MyCashflow supports all nShift delivery services, with the exception of PostNord DPD Classic and Budbee Flex.
Enablement
To use the built-in nShift LITE, you need to enter the contract numbers for the logistics services in the settings of shipping methods.
To enable the built-in nShift LITE:
- Select nShift eCom LITE as the shipping service.
- In the shipping method's details, enter the number of the contract with the selected logistics company.
When you use the LITE package, you won't receive the nShift Online credentials. The credentials are included only in the PRO package.
Matkahuolto's and Posti's contract numbers
To use Matkahuolto's and Posti's services via nShift eCom LITE, the service-specific contract number must be entered in the settings of the shipping method.
- Posti's package services: the contract number for Posti's package services
- Posti's letter services: the contract number for Posti's letter services
- Posti's freight services: the contract number for Posti's freight services inside Finland
- Matkahuolto's package services: the customer number for Matkahuolto's services
If multiple shipping methods use different Matkahuolto services, and you change the customer number in the settings for one of them, the customer number will be updated in all shipping methods that use Matkahuolto's package services.
The contract numbers for Posti can be found in Posti SmartShip (go to the SmartShip extranet), on the order confirmations for services, or on the invoices.
The customer number for Matkahuolto can be found in the MParcel extranet (go to the MParcel extranet), on the agreement or on the invoices.
Sender address
In the settings of the shipping methods that use nShift eCom LITE, there is a Sender details section where you can define the sender address for all the shipping methods that use the nShift eCom LITE service. By default, the sender address is taken from the store's general settings or version settings.
When you change the sender address in one of the shipping methods, it will be updated in all the shipping methods that use nShift eCom LITE.
Enabling PostNord services
When enabling PostNord services via nShift eCom LITE, you may want to test the integration to make sure that it works.
The instructions for testing can be found in the instructions on the nShift eCom PRO extension.
Testing PostNord in nShift eCom LITE is optional.
nShift eCom LITE is built into MyCashflow, which means that the integration has already been thoroughly tested and works in the same way for all users of nShift eCom LITE.
If you use the nShift eCom PRO extension and would like to enable PostNord, testing the PostNord integration is an obligatory part of the enablement process as every user uses their own nShift credentials in the integration.
