Solutions to problems

 

An error occurred while connecting to the API

  • One of the reasons for the above error is when the data provided in the place of Organization ID and Token is incorrect - or the data provided does not apply to the API Type: Sandbox (Sandbox and Production are two separate environments and have different organization IDs)

After each modification of the token or organization ID, save the settings (only then the authorization data is verified)

 

  • This error can also appear when the store's connection to the API is blocked - either on the server side of the store (you should verify this state in your hosting) or on our side. In this case, please contact us via our form https://inpost.pl/formularz-wsparcie

 


Creating a parcel - Selected offer

 

In the order when creating a shipment in the status instead of tracking number appears Status: offer selected

This means that the shipment has not been created

Possible reasons:

  1. Lack of funds in the account in Parcel Manager (for Prepaid customers)

  2. No bank account number in Manager Parcels

  3. In case of courier service, no attached courier contract in Parcel Manager


Geowidget - no access

When the shopping cart in Geowidget shows the error "No access, check if the token has been generated for the correct site" you need to re-generate the token for Geowidget in Parcel Manager but specifying the correct store site address. The error is related to providing an incorrect store URL.
