You can now use the new API v3 migration guidelines to move from API v2 to API v3. The guide includes examples for common actions (like creating parcels or orders) and shows how API v2 fields map to API v3.

💡

You can migrate to API v3 with clearer instructions and fewer guesswork steps. This helps you update your integration faster and with more confidence.

🚀

📬

If you're using Sendcloud rates, you can now see estimated PostNL surcharges in the price breakdown before you create a label. This works in the Sendcloud panel when you create a shipment, and for API v3 users using , as long as you enter parcel dimensions at announcement.

The estimates can include volumetric surcharges (>50 dm³, >100 dm³, >200 dm³), exceeding maximum dimensions (currently only for Klein Pakket), and packaging size surcharges (too small <10×10×1 cm or too large >95×70×58 cm within the EU).

💡

You get an early warning about possible extra carrier charges, so the final PostNL invoice is less likely to surprise you weeks later. This helps you choose the right shipment option and avoid unexpected costs.

🚀

ℹ️

These are estimates and are marked as approximate, because the carrier can re-measure the parcel at scan. The surcharge is not charged at label creation; it’s shown to inform you upfront.

📬

You can now use the new “Generate invoice now” action to instantly create an invoice that includes all open invoice items.

💡

You get more control over when you settle your outstanding balance. This helps you stay ahead of your credit limit and avoid shipping disruptions.

🚀

📬

If you’re on a Premium plan (or higher), you can now send tracking email notifications from your own email address. Tracking emails no longer have to come from a Sendcloud address.

💡

Your customers see tracking updates coming from your brand, which keeps the post‑purchase experience consistent from order confirmation to delivery.

🚀

ℹ️

This is available on Premium plans and higher. If you want to use your own logo, you may need to validate it with Google yourself.

📬

You can now create and announce shipments/ orders in API v3 using native carrier service point IDs (for example PostNL or DPD ). This means you no longer need to map carrier IDs to Sendcloud service point IDs before creating the shipment.

💡

If your system already stores carrier-specific service point IDs, you can send them directly to Sendcloud. This reduces extra API calls and removes the need for hardcoded mappings.

🚀

ℹ️

📬

You can now disable unwanted shipping methods directly in your Price List. You no longer need to contact support to have shipping methods removed.

💡

You can keep your available shipping options clean and relevant without waiting on manual changes. This helps you reduce back-and-forth and speed up day-to-day shipping setup changes.

You can find more information here.

📬

You can now validate an address using a separate API v3 endpoint: /api/v3/address/validate. This lets you check addresses without creating a shipment first.

💡

You can catch address issues earlier, so label creation and warehouse processing don’t get blocked by unexpected validation errors. This helps you keep order processing moving smoothly.

🚀

ℹ️

The endpoint is now live in API v3 and remains fully backward compatible with API v2. 💪

📬

You can now print your packing slip and shipping label together on a single A4 sheet using an integrated label layout (A4 paper with a peel-off sticker). You can also generate the combined Packing Slip + Label document directly from the Created Labels tab.

💡

You spend less time printing and matching documents, and reduce picking/packing mistakes.

🚀

1) Go to Printing options and scroll to “Packing slip with Shipping labels”.

2) Adjust the margins to choose where the label sits on the A4 page.

3) Generate the Packing Slip + Label document from your Incoming orders or Created labels.
