You would need to fill in the following fields:

• Select "Production" API version
• Your Magyar Posta API token (To get API keys, you need to register a MPL account, and after that, you can request an API key from them. Ask Magyar Posta for more details)
• Your Magyar Posta API secret
• Your Magyar Posta Accounting Code (In your MPL account, you must go to the 'Development portal' and the 'Applications' page to find your company's Accounting code.)
• Your Magyar Posta Agreement Code (You can find this information in your MPL account or in your contract with the shipping provider.)
• How will orders be shipped using the locker delivery method?
• Select label PDF format. 
• Default locker size
• Your Company Name
• Your Contact Name
• Email
• Phone
• Postal code
• City
• Street
• House number
• Apartment number (not mandatory)
• Bank Account Number

This information is needed to create a connection between your store and the Magyar Posta system. Company details are used in the shipments and the creation of shipping labels. 

Printing shipping labels

After order exporting has been set up you can print all MPL pick-up point and courier shipping labels from the Parcely app Orders view. 

If for some reason the order is not automatically exported, then click on the "Export Order" button and order data will be sent to MPL. In a few seconds, you will see that the label printing button will switch to green and you can print the label by clicking on it. 

IMPORTANT!

With MPL, you must click on the Fulfill button in the Parcely app Orders view because it will trigger shipment closing in the Magyar Posta system. 

Tracking code

The tracking code is saved to your store order only if you are fulfilling orders through the Parcely app Orders view. Parcely will save the tracking code itself and MPL tracking URL to the order and also include it in your store order confirmation email. If you would choose to Fulfill orders in Shopify order management, then you would need to copy and paste the tracking code and URL manually.
