How to Connect Shopify to BRT in 3 Clicks (The 2026 Guide)

Still manually copy-pasting customer addresses into BRT’s portal? Stop the madness. Here is the comprehensive guide to automating your Italian shipping operations and saving hours every day.

The "Copy-Paste" Nightmare is Over

If you are running a growing Shopify store in Italy, you know the struggle all too well.

You hear the "cha-ching" notification on your phone—a new order! The excitement lasts exactly 30 seconds. Then realization sets in: now you have to log into the BRT portal (or the older EasySped interface), manually type in the customer’s name, street, CAP, and city, and hope you don't make a typo.

Repeat this 20 or 50 times a day, and you aren't an entrepreneur anymore; you are a data entry clerk.

If you have searched the Shopify App Store for an official "BRT Bartolini" app, you already know the bad news: it doesn't exist.

The good news? You can still connect them completely in about 3 main clicks.

You just need a "bridge"—a shipping automation platform like ShippyPro that speaks "Shopify" on one side and "BRT" on the other. Here is the exact blueprint to set it up.

The Prerequisite: The "0th" Click

Before we start the timer, you need your keys. You cannot connect BRT without your official API credentials.

Critical Note: Do not confuse these with the username and password you use to log into the standard BRT website to view invoices. You need the Webservice credentials designed for software integration.

Open a ticket with your BRT sales rep or local branch support and ask for:

1. Codice Cliente (Customer Code): Usually a 7-digit number.

2. Codice Filiale (Branch ID): A 3-digit number identifying your local BRT hub.

3. Password Webservice: A specific password generated for API connections.

Got them? Good. Let’s start the 3-click integration.

Click 1: Connect Shopify (The Import Bridge)

First, we need to tell the platform where to find your orders. (If you haven't created your ShippyPro account yet, you can register here in 30 seconds).

1. In your ShippyPro dashboard, navigate to Marketplaces.

2. Find the Shopify logo and click it.

3. Enter your Shopify store URL (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com) and click Connect.

What just happened? You will be redirected briefly to your Shopify admin panel to approve permissions. Once approved, the connection is live. Within minutes, all your "Unfulfilled" Shopify orders will automatically import into your dashboard, complete with customer details, weights, and order value.

Click 2: Connect BRT (The Export Bridge)

Now that we have the orders, we need to tell the system how to generate the labels.

1. Navigate to Carriers and click Add a New Carrier.

2. Select the red BRT logo from the list.

3. You will see three fields. Paste in the credentials you gathered in the prerequisite step: Codice Cliente, Codice Filiale, and Password Webservice.

4. Click "Connect."

Technical Detail: If you are unsure about specific service options or encounter an error, read the full technical documentation on How to connect BRT.

What just happened? ShippyPro just shook hands with BRT’s servers. It knows who you are, what rates you have negotiated, and it is ready to generate official tracking numbers.

Click 3: Print Your First Label (The Magic Moment)

This is where the "3 clicks" promise pays off.

Go back to your main To Ship dashboard. You will see a list of your imported Shopify orders.

1. Select an order (or select 50 of them at once).

2. The system will automatically propose BRT as the carrier based on your rules.

3. Click the big "Ship" or "Print Labels" button.

The Result: In about two seconds, your thermal printer will spit out a perfectly formatted BRT label. The customer’s address is correct, the routing code is correct, and the tracking number is live.
