Steps
Set up a bpost account and enable Shipping Manager (Admin > General Settings) to get API credentials.
Review the Shipping Manager integration manual and XSD web-service definitions from bpost's Integration Knowledge Base to confirm current field names.
Use the bpack GEOLOCATOR service to retrieve delivery-point data and coordinates (post offices, postal points, and parcel lockers in Belgium plus partner international points).
Capture the customer's chosen delivery-point type (pickup point vs. parcel locker) and pass the corresponding point identifier in the shipment/order request.
Submit against the Shipping Manager endpoint (production: api.bpost.be/services/shm/, test: test2api.bpost.be/services/shm) and retrieve the label.
Known gotchas
bpost's canonical documentation lives in a support/Freshdesk knowledge base with downloadable manuals and XSDs rather than a modern interactive API reference — treat the PDFs/XSDs as the source of truth over any third-party summary.
Test and production use different hostnames (test2api vs. api.bpost.be) with potentially different credential sets — don't assume the same login works on both.
Locker vs. pickup-point delivery are captured as distinct delivery-method values in the integration; conflating them can route parcels to the wrong point type.
