Connect Magento and PostNL

Connecting Magento and PostNL could enable automated transfer of order and shipping data between the e-commerce platform and the logistics provider. This could support processes such as sending shipment requests, updating tracking information, and synchronizing delivery statuses, reducing manual data entry and improving order fulfillment visibility for both staff and customers.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Magento and PostNL around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Magento and PostNL?

A company operating both Magento and PostNL could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable data exchange and reduce manual work. Without a connection, staff may need to enter shipping details and order information separately into each system, which can lead to errors, duplicated effort, and records that do not match. This disconnect could result in orders being fulfilled based on outdated or incorrect information, causing delays or customer dissatisfaction. By establishing a connection, order and shipping data could be transferred automatically, reducing the risk of mistakes and ensuring that both systems reflect the most current status of each shipment and order. Commonly exchanged data between an e-commerce system and a logistics or shipping platform could include order details, shipping addresses, tracking numbers, and status updates. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system makes available through its API and is determined on a case-by-case basis.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Magento and PostNL make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
