How I use Royal Mail Click & Drop for Etsy and Shopify orders - TUTORIAL/HOW TO

This is amazing! Many thanks for talking us through it.
I realise it’s a few years old and possibly things may have been updated on their site. I have a Shopify and send roughly 150 orders each Xmas season (personalised and handwritten Santa Letters!), and it’s always a pain to have to hand write all their addresses on the packaging plus actually going to the post office every few days over the course of the ten week stint I write the Santa letters!
I’ve given my head a good old shake and realised how much time I’m wasting!
It’s time for me to update my entire shipping process 😂

Love this! I just signed up to Click & Drop, initially bit scared of it as little clueless on how the process works! Your video is so helpful! Like others, I would like to avoid my local post office as it seems we all receive mean treatment (esp us small business owners with loads to post!). The convenience of dropping small items through the post box appeals to me! Just a question, in regards of proof of postage is this something we should print off if we are avoiding the post office and just popping in post box (this is the standard post box right? Not the parcel post box is am seeing mentioned online? I am mainly posting large letter sized orders). Also, I set up my Click & Drop account after I received an order on Etsy - it seems to have integrated my Etsy shop as it says its verified but not picking up the order? Do I select the little truck on Etsy to create a postage label or just go on the Click & Drop site and manually enter the details via 'Create an order'? Thanks!

Hello :) - How do you get the weights to automatically come through on click and drop from etsy etc. - it does not show for me :( thank you in advance JD

How do you get the tracking numbers?

This was SUPER USEFUL, thank you so much!!

Can I print these labels and still take them in a post office to ship? As I really like the idea of getting proof of postage, just incase the customer says they haven't received it and I will have proof I shipped it.

the payment you paid to royal mail for postage labels are including delivery charges or you paid extra charges to royal mail for delivery

Brilliant! Thank you!

Great vid, thank you. Adding timestamps would be extra helpful ☺

Thank you for this video 👍

This is brilliant! I thought I was using Click & Drop, and I was using some version of it, but I was still having to enter every single order one at a time. This is amazing. That it all gets imported and then automatically creates the labels from that data - it will cut down my order processing time by a massive amount. Thanks so much Lucy Rocks... you rock!

Thank you so much for your help❣️

Great video! If I provide the weight and dimensions in advance on eBay or Etsy for a specific product, will the Royal Mail system automatically incorporate and select the appropriate shipping option?

Thank you! This took me like 3 days to work out and your video was a massive help both in terms of the process and also just to relax :)

I wish they would just have it as a option on its own by now

Hi! I’ve just started shipping worldwide from after watching this video, but I’ve just brought a postage label with a customs declaration and it says I need to include a VAT number? What should I do as i just sell on Etsy?

How do you charge the customer for shipping? Or how would you? I don’t want to over/under charge but payment is taken upon order.

Thank you so much for this! Amazing video and explanation! I'm new to Shopify and trying to get my head around it. Sooo.. once you have integrated click and drop with your Shopify, you can fulfill all the orders you receive from the click and drop site??

Thank you for the info and sharing, so the royal mail app marks items as shipping in the platform, also would it automatically add tracking numbers with they were
recorded or international tracked etc?
