Royal Mail Desktop Click and Drop

[willowtree]

I'm trying to work out how to get PS to work with Royal Mail click and drop.

I beleive that C&D has a desktop app that will create the shpping orders when a spreadsheet is saved into the local watched folder.

So all we have to do is to be able to download a csv file with the order details - name / address / weight etc and it willbe able to flow through to C&D.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to start with this? Ideally I would be able to select multiple orders and a download button which would save a csv of the orders.

It will be mutch easier to create an API connection to the ERP software. This way all data will be inputed automaticly to your ERP client.

That would be great but sounds beyond my skills. I was hoping we could put something together as a community

I to looked into doing this.

What I found was that you needed to invest in a module that lets you download your orders - doesn't come as standard

Once downloaded and installed - download 1 order - use it to 'map' the columns to C&D

Once you get first one working - just need to either set a cronjob to run automatically at a certain time or run it when needed

And et voila

 

(No I didn't buy the module - I'm not yet big enough to invest in some lovely looking modules that wont pay for themselves presently)
