Shiptheory provides a basic Royal Mail PPI label integration for those of you that do not use barcoded Royal Mail labels. You can enable this from the Manage Carriers page in the main menu, search for "PPI".
If you need to use barcodes on your PPI labels, you need to use the Shiptheory direct integration with Royal Mail's OBA system. Shiptheory is one of only a small number of providers that are authorised to create Royal Mail labels directly, without using a third party API. The OBA integration provides greater flexibility and tracking to Royal Mail customers.
I use UNG/UNH services, which are not available in OBA, what do I do?
If you use UNG or UNH services, your account handler at Royal Mail should be able to provide equivalent services in OBA.
