Better alignment with other PostNL services
The new API aligns seamlessly with our other services, such as invoicing and contracts.
Clear product names
Product codes are replaced with recognizable product names, making pre-announcements less error-prone and easier to understand, especially for new users.
Integrate the newest version
The Shipment API version 4 can be used to prepare e-commerce shipments for our customers in the Netherlands, enabling them to send parcels within the Netherlands, to Belgium, and internationally. In the course of 2025, we will add more functionalities.
Right now, this API is available only to a selected group of PostNL customers. If you haven’t received an invite yet, you’re not eligible just yet — but don’t worry. As we continue to add new features and improve the experience, more customers will be invited to join. Thanks for bearing with us – we’re excited to roll out the API to a broader audience soon!
