Before you start
A shipping connection links e-tailize to a carrier for shipping and tracking. MyParcel is the provider in that category, and it is connected with an API key you create in your own MyParcel account.
TijdVrij is the exception worth knowing about. It runs on Lyra, so you do not find it in the shipping list: you connect it as a warehouse with the API key your contact gives you. The steps below cover MyParcel, and Connect a warehouse covers the TijdVrij route.
Steps
Create an API key in your MyParcel account and copy it.
Open "Settings" in the left sidebar, click "Connections" and click "New connection" on the "API connections" page.
Pick "Shipping" in the chooser, next to "Marketplace", "WMS" and "CMS". "Connect shipping provider" opens with a "Filter" box and the provider logos.
The page "Connect shipping provider", with the "Filter" box and MyParcel as the only logo under "Select shipping" Click the MyParcel logo.
MyParcel ticked under "Select shipping", with the fields "Connection name" and "API key" and the button "Save" Fill in "Connection name", your own reference for this carrier.
Paste your key into the API key field.
Click "Save".
What happens next
The connection shows up on the "API connections" page like every other one. From there it carries your shipping and tracking.
Common problems
Do not go looking for TijdVrij under "Shipping". Ask your contact for the Lyra API key and add it as a warehouse connection instead.
An empty form comes back with "Connection name is required" and "Secret or Api key is a required field".
