Here's how to connect your BRT account with Disk B solution (API) to ShippyPro in just a few steps.

Through our BRT connection you will be able to create the final label of the Carrier.

Please do note that the old Bartolini (Disk C) connection has been deprecated and therefore not available anymore on ShippyPro.

Let's see how to proceed immediately. 🔎

Summary

Select the BRT Logo from the Carriers section and if you have already requested your REST API credentials from BRT, flag "I have already requested activation" and go straight to step 2. of this guide!
​
On the other hand, if you want to connect BRT to your ShippyPro account for the first time and you don't have the credentials yet follow the steps below.
​
From the Carriers section click on the BRT Logo and flag the "I have to request activation" option:

Fill out the form that will open by entering the required information and then click Send to send the request to BRT:

​

We will send your BRT contact person the request and you will be copied into the conversation with the Carrier and, as soon as BRT accepts the request, you will receive confirmation directly via email.

​

Once you receive the confirmation via email, you can fill in the credentials you obtained from BRT in ShippyPro section Carriers > BRT

Here’s how you can fill in the fields in the connection module:

Username: your BRT account number

Codice cliente ritiro: this field is optional, please fill it in in case you book pickups through ShippyPro. For more information, see this chapter

Password: the password provided by your BRT sales representative after they’ve completed the activation process. Please make sure that there are no spaces!

Deposito di partenza: the first 3 digits of your Customer Code

Label type: select in which format to create your labels. You can choose between PDF and ZPL.

If you want, you can flag the option Flip label orientation vertically to turn your labels 180 degrees, making your printing process even easier!

Network

You will find different Networks based on the destinations. The Tariff Code you enter (3-digit code provided by the Carrier) must correspond to the selected Network:

Italy

DPD

EuroExpress

DPD - Out of Europe

Particularities

The multi-parcel DPD EuroExpress Network includes a maximum of 5 parcels per shipment.

DP5 label format - DPD Direct infeed

To use the LabelFormat DP5, remember that you will have to print the label for the Network DPD.

First of all, it is necessary to ask BRT to activate the DPD INFEED service for the LabelFormat DP5 to work.

After that, if you don't already have it, we recommend adding a new BRT connection with the correct Network without modifying the existing one, and setting the ZPL format, the only one supported using these settings.

Type of service

From the menu, select the service you will use:

Standard service

Priority service

10:30 service

You can enable Proof of Delivery by selecting the Enable POD (contact BRT first to enable it) option and asking your BRT referent for the FTP credentials shown immediately after enabling it. Then select the Assign to date option from the Carrier Options when creating the shipment.

You can print 8 BRT labels on a single A4 sheet by selecting your orders from the Shipped Orders section and clicking on Print BRT A4 8 labels.

At the moment BRT does not offer the possibility to add a Notes field on the label.

To proceed with returns, first select the Return From Shop option from the additional services menu in Carriers > BRT > Edit:

BRT does not transmit Live Rates to ShippyPro. If you’re interested in comparing prices, it is therefore mandatory to enter your zones, weight and price lists.

ShippyPro automatically inserts main zones, generic weights and adds the prices in 0 (zero) amount. You will be able to ship with BRT even though you leave the prices in 0, it will not affect your contract with the carrier.

Follow the steps indicated in this guide carefully: How to set Carrier Rates

If you use more than one BRT price list, no problem! You will be able to add a new connection for each tariff.

To do this, you don't need to add your BRT credentials again.

Click on the BRT icon again to connect it. Inside the pop up, click on the search bar: Select from a carrier already entered and choose the connection with the same credentials you previously connected.

If you wish to change the estimated delivery days shown when choosing the Carrier, you can do so by editing the values of the fields “Delivery days - min” and “Delivery days - max” from Carriers > BRT > Edit Prices.

With this option you can choose whether to perform a Manual or Automatic Close Work Day.

If you want to activate Manual or Automatic transmission, you need to ask the BRT office you refer to for confirmation and, once you have received confirmation, select it from the ShippyPro connection menu:

The Automatic Confirmation Mode allows you to immediately transmit the shipping information, the Close Work Day is therefore performed automatically once the shipment has been created.

The Manual Confirmation Mode (Explicit) allows you to transmit the information to the Carrier at a later time by manually completing the Close Work Day.

Please note: automatic transmission is the simplest and fastest method for transmitting your orders to the Carrier, but remember that it doesn't allow to make any edits.

The BRT API label will produce a Parcel ID: once the label has been read and confirmed by the Carrier, this will create the final tracking that will be automatically acquired by ShippyPro via API.

The code shown in Shipped Orders represents the 15-digit package ID, automatically created by the Courier.
​

The tracking number transmitted via our emails consists of 18 characters. BRT first generates an 18-digit code and then updates the tracking to a 12-digit code. This explains the difference between the information available on their site and ShippyPro.

Shipments via DPD (BRT EU) can only be single parcel. It will therefore be necessary, in the case of orders with multiple packages, to create multiple shipments or API calls.

For Euroexpress, Multiparcel shipments are available for up to a maximum of 5 parcels.
