+=================
+Bpost integration
+=================
+
+Set up the *Bpost* shipping connector in Odoo to manage Bpost shipments to clients directly within
+Odoo. To configure it, complete these steps:
+
+#. Create a Bpost account.
+#. Get the :ref:`Account ID and passphrase <inventory/shipping/Bpost-account>`.
+#. Set up the shipping method in Odoo.
+
+Upon completion, it is possible to calculate the cost of shipping, based on package size and weight,
+have the charges applied directly to a Bpost business account, and automatically print Bpost
+tracking labels through Odoo.
