Shipping Label - Integrate with Royal Mail Click and Drop

[Jools]

Royal Mail supports integration with various online stores and marketplaces

Integration with Square would be great so that shipping labels could be automatically created, and postage paid

Hello everyone, this is Alex from the Square Online product team. We know how frustrating it is to have been told that a Royal Mail Click & Drop integration is on the roadmap for two years, and we're sorry that we haven't yet been able to launch this for you. Behind the scenes, we're in the process of making some fundamental changes to our shipping product, so we decided to build all shipping carrier integrations (not just Royal Mail) in a way that aligns with our long term strategy. This will take us time to fully execute. We also understand that you have to make decisions about how to operate your business, and that an expectation of a Royal Mail integration has been a key factor in choosing to continue using Square. Unfortunately, we don't have a concrete update that we can share with you on our plans or timeline for this today, but we'll be sure to post in this thread when our beta is ready for you.

Hi Phillip! How do you go about the integration? I cant actually see square as an integration option on the “add a new integration” on royal mail, has this to be updated as it has only just been announced? Or is it via square? I’m unsure 

[ARMelts]

Hi there im totally lost.. Our business is fairly new to square and still getting to grips with a few things. I can only see a new integration via royal mails click and drop service called “squarespace” I created my website on squareup.com, have weebly but i dont know much about squarespace or if thats even related or a completely different organisation. If royal mail has been integrated with square can someone please advise on how to set it up as we are keen to use it right away!  Thanks in advance

Nope Squarespace is a different platform totally different to Weebly and Squareup I'm afraid. Got a little excited when I saw this pop up in an email from Royal Mail today, in the excitement my mind wiped the word space from my vision. I thought my prayers had been answered but alas not just yet. 😞

[ARMelts]

Ahhhhh righty i see Phillip i was getting confused with “squarespace” and “square” thanks a lot for confirming that! Hopefully we get the news we have been waiting for soon!

The Square team are pretty clued up. They will work on it if they feel there is a user requirement, the forum is a good means to gain momentum for such things like this 🤞

Direct Royal Mail integration would be so helpful. Fingers crossed this can be activated ASAP!

Royal mail is a must! it would speed up the process.

Thank you to whoever started the thread 🙂

Have you tried using the Royal Mail Click and Drop? Sign up for an account you can use this for free and if you set up an OBA with Royal Mail delivery options ie 1st/2nd class large letter, small parcel, tracked 24/48 etc. I believe these are available without an OBA, but the OBA will give better shipping rates. At the moment there is no square integration so you can either upload via an excel spreadsheet or manually input as we do. Manually inputting the order is time consuming but we find easier if you have orders coming through on Square Online all day. Plus we have problems exporting the square orders, it looks to email the orders but it takes forever at which point its obsolete on arrival. Manually inputting is subject to accidental errors. NoTHS have it nailed with their integration with Royal Mail Click and Drop. Hope this helps.
