Usage
To turn the shipping label feature on, please contact your customer success manager or the Support team.
Via ChannelEngine
When you create a shipment, you can choose to purchase bol's shipping label.
You can then input the dimensions and weight of the package. The Shipment method dropdown shows the available options (e.g.: parcel, mailbox, etc.), whether bol recommends it or not, and the price.
Once the shipment has been exported, the Download shipping label button appears – as seen below.
Via the API
- The
carriers
endpoints is available to retrieve the available carriers. - Use the
/v2/shipments/channelmethod
endpoint to create the shipment. Set the code from the desired carrier toChannelMethodCode
. - After the shipment has been exported to the channel (see below), the
shippinglabel
endpoint can be used to get the shipping label PDF.
Flow on exporting shipments
- On exporting the shipments, the shipping label is created first. bol does not provide the label immediately, so ChannelEngine has to wait until the next export shipments task to retrieve the label.
- During the next export of shipments, ChannelEngine downloads the finalized label. Only then the shipment is exported to bol.
- The shipping label is then available to download via the UI and via the API.
