Shipit is a logistics service that enables you to ship your customers' orders by using the services of the most popular Finnish logistics companies. Additionally, the service includes several international delivery services.

Creating shipping labels with the Shipit extension requires that you have credit in your Shipit wallet (instructions available in Finnish, Swedish and Estonian).

Collection points aren't supported when using PostNord via Shipit. Support is going to be added in the near future.

The default measurements for Shipit shipments are 15 x 15 x 1 cm and the default weight is 100 g. The default values are only used with shipments whose dimensions and weight have not been input separately. Some Shipit services support inputting shipment dimensions along with their customs information.

See also Shipit's instructions. Shipit's website is also an excellent source of information about logistics for online stores.

Extensions are not available in MyCashflow Free plan.

Installation and setup

You can enable the Shipit service in your online store's admin panel, on the page Account > Apps > Shipit. On this page you can either order new credentials or use your already existing Shipit credentials.

Enabling Shipit in the online store involves the following stages:

  • Enabling the extension
  • Ordering new credentials or entering existing ones in the store's admin panel
  • Activating payment methods in Shipit extranet
  • Creating a shipping method to use with Shipit in the online store's admin panel

To enable Shipit, first go to the Account > Apps > Shipit page, and click Enable.

Enabling the extension is free of charge.

Ordering new credentials/Entering existing credentials

The form for ordering Shipit comes with your online store's details already filled-in. You can modify or supply additional details before confirming the order.

Once you're done, accept the terms of service and press the Create account button.

If you already have Shipit credentials, enter them in the extension settings in the API accounts section.

You'll find the required credentials (API_KEY and API_SECRET) in Shipit's extranet, on the page Edit user > API.

Activating payment methods

Once you've enabled the Shipit extension, it's time to enable the service's payment methods in Shipit's extranet.

Find out more about the extranet ›

You can enable the Shipit wallet or request a billing contract (in such a case please contact Shipit's customer service).

The wallet can be found in Shipit’s extranet, on the page Create shipment > Wallet. To enable the wallet, add funds to it.

Creating a shipping method

As the last stage of the Shipit enablement process, create a new shipping method to use with Shipit:

  1. Create a new shipping method in the online store's admin panel on the page Settings > Shipping methods
  2. In the Shipping labels section, select Shipit and the desired service.
  3. Save the shipping method.
  4. Define the shipping method's weight limits and costs.

You can create multiple shipping methods that will use Shipit for specific purposes such as, for instance, in order to offer your customers the services of different logistics companies.

Defining settings

After enabling the extension, you can define its settings to suit your needs.

Sender address

By default, the online store's contact information found on the Settings > General settings page is used as the sender address in orders sent with Shipit.

The sender address appears on the shipping labels of orders sent with Shipit. Payments collected via the Advance payment and Cash-on-delivery payment services are forwarded to the bank account indicated in the sender address.

Shipit never uses contact information specified in the version settings as the sender address. The online store's contact information is always extracted from the Settings > General settings page instead.

Optionally, you can define a separate sender address by deselecting the option Settings > Use the store's contact details in the Shipit extension's settings.

In Settings > Bank account, you can also provide a separate bank account to which advance and cash-on-delivery payments will be forwarded.

Shipit extranet

You can use the Shipit extranet to manage your Shipit account, and create and track shipments made by using the service.

To access the extranet, go to https://www.shipit.fi/ and press the Kirjaudu (Login) button.

Order tracking and reports

Tracking services are enabled for all shipments that use Shipit and can be accessed at the address: https://www.shipit.fi/seuranta.

By default, the tracking link is included in the shipping confirmation message. If your online store uses a custom-made template for the shipping confirmation message, make sure that it includes the {OrderTrackingURL} tag that prints the tracking link.

In Shipit's admin panel, on the page Create shipment > Orders, you can see all shipments that you made by using Shipit.

You can also use this panel to download a list of shipments in Excel format.

Using Wolt

The MyCashflow Shipit extension has support for using Wolt in your online store. Wolt enables you to arrange a speedy pickup and delivery from your office to the customer's front door within supported areas in Finland.

Enabling Wolt

  1. Sign up as a Wolt merchant at https://wolt.com/fi/merchants
  2. Message asiakaspalvelu@shipit.fi and let them know you would like to use Wolt in your MyCashflow online store.

    Your message should contain at least:

    • your company's name
    • the pickup address and specific pickup details (for example, at checkout)
    • opening hours
    • phone and email

    Even if Wolt does not support your postal area, Wolt and Shipit can look into the possibility of adding support for your area, so feel free to ask about the availability of the service.

    Support for Wolt will be added to your Shipit account. Once the signup process is finished, you will receive a notification.

  3. Create a new shipping method on the Settings > Shipping methods page of your store's admin panel
  4. In the Shipit integration menu, select Wolt.
  5. Define other shipping method settings to suit your needs and then save the shipping method.

    Make sure the allowed countries only include Finland. For payment methods you should only allow online payment gateways.

    See the instructions on how to create shipping methods.

    The shipping method details are opened.

  6. Enter the allowed postal codes for deliveries in the Allowed postal codes field in the shipping method details.

    For example, you can allow the entire Helsinki region by entering 001* in the field

    If you do not limit the postal codes, your customers can order Wolt deliveries anywhere in Finland (regardless of whether they are in an area supported by Wolt).

    Learn more about limiting deliveries by postal code areas.

Now Wolt is available at checkout for customers whose postal codes are among the ones you have allowed.

Arranging pickups

You can arrange a pickup for a shipment that uses Wolt by pressing Arrange a pickup in the shipment details on the order page.

After pressing the link, the system sends a request for pickup to Wolt. The courier will pick up the shipment at the address you have provided during the signup process. The order's shipping address will be forwarded to the courier for the delivery.
