How It Works

One connection. Everything in sync.

Adlixor sits between your systems and your sales channels, keeping data accurate in both directions — automatically.

Connect in minutes

Authorise your Royal Mail account in Adlixor with a few clicks. Most connections go live in under five minutes with no developer required.

Sync your data

Adlixor imports your existing products, stock levels, and orders automatically. No spreadsheets, no CSV uploads, no manual mapping.

Manage from one place

From that point on, everything flows automatically. Royal Mail stays in sync with every other channel and your ERP around the clock.

The Challenge

Manual Royal Mail processing wastes hours every dispatch run.

Logging into Click & Drop, manually importing orders, printing labels, and manifesting at the end of the day is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale without adding headcount.

Importing orders into Click & Drop takes too long

Exporting orders from Amazon, eBay, and your own website separately, formatting them for Click & Drop, and importing each batch manually consumes significant time every dispatch day. Adlixor pushes orders directly to your Royal Mail OBA account as they arrive — no export or import required.

Label errors lead to returned parcels

Manually copying delivery addresses from marketplace orders into Royal Mail systems introduces address formatting errors that cause parcels to fail automated sorting — resulting in returns, redelivery costs, and negative buyer feedback. Adlixor passes address data directly via API, eliminating the copy-paste failure point.

Tracking numbers don't reach marketplaces in time

Amazon requires tracking confirmation within hours of dispatch. Without an automated link between Royal Mail and your marketplace accounts, tracking numbers must be manually uploaded — and late confirmation contributes to defect rates. Adlixor posts tracking back to every platform the moment a label is generated.

Service selection errors are costly

Choosing the wrong Royal Mail service — standard instead of Tracked, or standard instead of Special Delivery for a high-value item — either over-costs your operation or leaves you liable for lost parcels without compensation. Adlixor automates service selection based on weight, value, and channel rules.

Royal Mail OBA Integration

Labels, manifests, and tracking — fully automated.

Adlixor's Royal Mail integration covers the complete outbound shipping workflow — from label generation through to end-of-day manifesting and tracking confirmation.

OBA Label Generation

Generate Royal Mail OBA labels directly from orders in Adlixor — Tracked 24, Tracked 48, First Class, Special Delivery, and Royal Mail International — without logging into Click & Drop or any separate system.

Automatic Tracking Confirmation

Royal Mail tracking numbers post back to Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and every other connected channel the moment a label is created — confirming dispatch and keeping buyers informed automatically.

End-of-Day Manifesting

Adlixor generates and submits your Royal Mail end-of-day manifest automatically at the close of each dispatch run, eliminating the manual collection booking step and reducing collection delays.

Weight-Based Service Selection

Configure rules to assign the correct Royal Mail service based on parcel weight, dimensions, declared value, and destination. High-value items route to Special Delivery automatically; standard parcels go Tracked 24 or 48.

Barcode & 2D Barcode Support

Adlixor produces Royal Mail 2D barcode labels compliant with OBA format requirements, including all required data elements for automated sortation and tracking event generation.

International & Returns Labels

Generate Royal Mail International Tracked, Signed, and Tracked & Signed labels from the same workflow. Returns labels can also be included in outbound shipments or sent on-demand via email.

Dispatch Performance Reporting

Track your daily Royal Mail volumes, service mix, and average label cost per order within Adlixor's reporting dashboard — giving you visibility into carrier spend without needing a separate reporting tool.

Multi-Carrier Label Rules

Use Royal Mail alongside DPD, DHL, and Evri within Adlixor. Define routing rules that automatically select Royal Mail for orders under a certain weight and size — and route larger parcels to your preferred alternative carrier.

Capabilities

For businesses dispatching at volume every day.

Adlixor's Royal Mail integration is built for merchants who dispatch tens to hundreds of parcels daily and need the process to run without manual intervention.

Zero-Touch Label Generation

From order arrival to printed label, Adlixor handles the entire Royal Mail label workflow without human intervention. Orders are received, service-assigned, labelled, and dispatched — with tracking posted back to the buyer — all automatically.

Batch Dispatch Processing

Process hundreds of Royal Mail labels in a single batch. Adlixor groups orders by service type, generates labels in bulk, and organises them for efficient warehouse picking — reducing your daily dispatch run from hours to minutes.

Marketplace SLA Compliance

Amazon and eBay require tracking to be confirmed within defined windows after the dispatch date. Adlixor posts Royal Mail tracking data to every marketplace immediately after labelling — keeping your seller metrics clean and your account health scores high.

Intelligent Carrier Routing

Royal Mail is the most cost-effective carrier for lightweight UK parcels — but not always for heavy, bulky, or time-definite consignments. Adlixor applies carrier routing rules automatically, sending each order to the most appropriate carrier based on weight, service level, and destination.

Pick & Pack Workflow Integration

Royal Mail labels generate within Adlixor's pick and pack workflow. Warehouse staff scan barcodes, confirm items, and trigger label printing in a single process — reducing label errors and ensuring each parcel leaves with the correct carrier and service.

Carrier Cost Visibility

Track Royal Mail spend per order, per channel, and per time period from Adlixor's reporting module. Understand your postage cost per unit sold, identify services that are underused or overused, and make data-driven decisions about your carrier mix.
