What’s new in the Posten Bring Checkout plugins

Everything we ship in the Posten Bring Checkout plugins for WooCommerce and Shopify. Filter by platform to see only what affects your webshop.

Addictional service support (1082 Social control and 1280 Signature required)

Are you shipping items with age restrictions (20+) like alcohol requiring age verification, or expensive items via mailbox delivery that should never be left on the doorstep? Our plugins now have built-in support for configuring your inventory products and product variants with:

  • Requires age verification (20+)
  • Should not be left on doorstep

When configured, the plugin will automatically ensure that only eligible shipping options are presented in the checkout, and add the necessary value added services to the order to ensure the handling is done accordingly. The following value added services are supported:

  • 1082 Social control (requires separate Mybring agreement)
  • 1280 Signature required (only compatible with Mailbox parcel in Norway)

Webshops on a Shopify Plus plan can now enable our enhanced checkout experience. When enabled, our shipping options are presented with:

  • Pickup point map (requires Google Maps API key)
  • Delivery date selection for Pakke Hjem Pluss
  • Environmental information, including Swan label where eligible
  • Posten Fordeler points for domestic Norwegian B2C shipments
  • Improved service descriptions

Go to Settings, and follow the activation instructions to enable it.

Automatic label printing with PrintNode

Labels can now be sent straight to your printer when you book transport, instead of being downloaded and printed by hand.

Go to Settings → Automatic printing, create your own PrintNode account, install the PrintNode client on a computer with access to the printer, and paste your PrintNode API key. PrintNode is an external subscription service that you set up and pay for yourself.

Then pick a printer for each active Shopify location. If you print everything on one roll, select All products. If you use separate rolls, Home mailbox parcel labels can go to a printer with 100 x 100 mm labels and everything else to a printer with 102 x 192 mm labels. Bulk bookings are combined into one print job per printer.

The transport booking completes even if printing fails, and the label is always available as a PDF from the order.

NewShopifyWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.62

Volume based price calculation for dynamic pricing

When dynamic pricing is active, the total volume of the cart is now calculated from the product dimensions you have configured. Volume is used in addition to weight, so the price presented in checkout is as close as possible to what the shipment actually costs.

NewWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.60

NVIT handling with HS-code search from Tolletaten

NVIT (Norske varer i transitt) is now supported in both plugins. You are notified when an order qualifies as NVIT and HS-code configuration is required. The plugin offers HS-code search with data from Tolletaten, and stores the result as product attributes, so you are not asked to configure the same product twice. It works for single orders and for bulk booking.

The WooCommerce release also adds an action hook, posten_bring_checkout_pickup_point_selected, which gives you the details of the selected pickup point when an order is created: id, name, address, postal code, city and country.

Groundwork shipped earlier in June, where shipments qualifying as NVIT started being enriched with customs information from HS-codes configured as hscode, hs-code, htscode or hts-code product attributes.

NewWooCommerceShopifyWooCommerce 1.1.54

Recipient phone number and email are validated

Recipient phone numbers are now validated before a shipment is created, the same way booking already did. Recipient email addresses got the same treatment three weeks earlier, on 19 May. Catching a bad number or address at this point means fewer shipments that cannot be delivered or notified.

ImprovementWooCommerceShopify

Shipments to Finland

Both plugins now support shipments to Finland, so Finnish delivery options appear in checkout for webshops with Finland in their shipping zones.

NewWooCommerceShopifyWooCommerce 1.1.49

Bulk edit of Posten Bring product settings

Posten Bring Checkout product meta data can now be bulk edited. If you have a lot of products that are too large for, say, mailbox delivery, you can configure them all at once from the product bulk edit page instead of one by one.

NewWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.43

Faster shipping rate retrieval

Shipping rates are retrieved faster, which shortens the wait before delivery options appear in checkout. The release also fixes the pickup point selector not being presented correctly for parcel locker rates in shortcode based checkouts.

ImprovementWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.38

Parcel Locker (0344) for Sweden and Denmark

The Parcel Locker service (0344) can be offered in checkout by both the WooCommerce and the Shopify plugin, for shipments to Sweden and Denmark.

The service requires an agreement. Contact your sales representative if you want it in your checkout.

NewWooCommerceShopify

Address autocomplete for Norwegian addresses

With address autocomplete enabled, the plugin suggests Norwegian addresses in checkout. This makes sure a valid address is captured when the order is placed, which means fewer failed deliveries.

The feature requires WooCommerce v10.3.0 or higher and has to be enabled under WooCommerce general settings.

NewWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.36

Pickup points in Dintero Checkout Express

If you use Dintero’s WooCommerce plugin (v1.11.0 or later) with shipping options in Checkout Express, customers can now see and select Posten and Bring pickup points directly in checkout, including expected arrival time. Posten and Bring shipping options are also shown with a logo.

NewWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.34

Announcements and operational messages inside the plugin

Both plugins can now show general announcements and operational messages from Posten Bring. We use this to tell you about technical outages that affect your daily use of the plugin, and about other important changes.

NewWooCommerceShopifyWooCommerce 1.1.32

Choose your own return service in Mybring

You can now configure which return service your webshop uses, from the checkout settings in Mybring. The plugins pick up the choice when return labels are generated.

NewWooCommerceShopify

Lead time details in block based checkouts

Shipping options in block based checkouts now include lead time details.

The release also warns you when static shipping is enabled in Vipps/MobilePay, since that stops the plugin from showing the correct shipping options and pickup points.

ImprovementWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.21

Full Vipps/MobilePay checkout integration

From Vipps/MobilePay plugin v4.0.12, Posten Bring Checkout provides Vipps with shipping options, pickup points, delivery dates, service descriptions and lead time. Shops using Vipps checkout get the same delivery experience as in the standard WooCommerce checkout.

NewWooCommerceWooCommerce 1.1.19

Parcel lockers as a separate service

Parcel lockers can now be offered as a service of their own, rather than being bundled with other pickup options.
