Click & Drop is Royal Mail's free online tool: you pay for the postage, and it imports orders from linked marketplaces and shops. It suits you on eBay, Etsy and Shopify, where you choose your own courier. Vinted and Whatnot orders usually come with a prepaid label from the platform, so you print those from the platform instead. ## Integrations, CSV import and label sizes Royal Mail lists integrations with eBay, Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce and others, plus spreadsheet import for anything else. Imported orders arrive with the buyer's address and items, ready for you to add weight and service. It prints labels at 100 x 150 mm for a thermal printer or on A4. Depending on the integration, Click & Drop can send tracking numbers back to the marketplace; Royal Mail's integration pages list what each channel supports. ## Linking channels and printing the first batch Create a Royal Mail business or Click & Drop account, link each channel under integrations, and set your default package size and service. Switch the label format to the thermal size if you own a label printer. Run your day in one pass: import, weigh each parcel on a parcel scale, choose the service, then print every label as a batch. Drop the parcels at a Post Office or book a collection where Royal Mail offers one. ## Parcel2Go or ShipStation in its place Parcel2Go compares couriers, which helps for bulky parcels where Royal Mail may cost more. Its Smart Send tool also imports marketplace orders. ShipStation suits you at dozens of parcels a day across several couriers, with one queue for every order, for a monthly fee. ## Getting the postage price right Click & Drop prices the size and weight you enter, so an accurate scale and box measurements decide what you pay. Royal Mail's current size guide sets the limits for each format. Business accounts can open other pricing; Royal Mail's site shows what is available at your volume. ## Common mistakes - Switch the label format from A4 to 100 x 150 mm, or a thermal printer wastes paper. - Guessed weights invite underpaid postage. Weigh every sealed parcel before you buy the label. - Printing Vinted orders through Click & Drop pays twice for postage, since Vinted provides its own label; print those from Vinted. - If tracking numbers fail to sync back, eBay orders show as undispatched, so check the marketplace after the first few batches. ## Guides - [Cheapest way to post a parcel in the UK](https://sellersetups.com/guides/cheapest-way-to-post-a-parcel): InPost lockers, Royal Mail and Evri compared on our checked prices: which service is cheapest for a flat item, a 2 kg parcel and a heavy box. - [Small business packaging setup for 100 orders a week](https://sellersetups.com/guides/packaging-setup-100-orders): The kit, stock levels and daily routine that keep packing 100 orders a week from home down to an hour or two a day. - [Royal Mail sizes and prices explained](https://sellersetups.com/guides/royal-mail-sizes-and-prices): Large Letter, Small Parcel and Medium Parcel limits, our checked online prices, how to measure, and the band mistakes that cost you money. - [Scams and disputes on Vinted, eBay and Whatnot](https://sellersetups.com/guides/scams-and-disputes): Empty box claims, false not as described cases, off-platform payment tricks, fake courier texts and chargebacks, with the evidence that wins a dispute. - [How to start a small business from home in the UK](https://sellersetups.com/guides/start-selling-from-home): Which platform suits what you sell, what the first kit costs, and a checklist for your first week of orders from home. ## Questions ### Is Click & Drop free?
