You can now use a new API v3 endpoint to announce shipments synchronously while applying your pre-set shipping rules and defaults. This means you get immediate feedback, including carrier errors and labels, all in one go.

💡

You no longer need to poll the API to find out whether a shipment failed due to carrier errors, which used to slow down your workflow. Now, carrier issues are returned right away in the response, so you can fix them on the spot without interrupting your order flow. You also get the label immediately, saving up to two extra calls per shipment, which helps prevent rate limiting and keeps things running smoothly during peak season.

🚀

Just make a call to:

You only need to reuse your existing shipment request body, and include the and fields to ensure all your predefined settings are applied.

ℹ️

Not all rules are compatible with multicollo shipments. For full details on this limitation, consult the API reference linked above.

📬

The Shipping Options endpoint in Sendcloud API v3 now supports filtering by Service Point ID. This means you can query shipping options that deliver exclusively to a specific service point by including the service point ID in your request.

💡

Now you can filter shipping options right from the start using the service point ID. This prevents errors and ensures the shipping options you get actually support the selected service point. No more picking the perfect shipping option only to find it doesn’t work with your chosen service point.

🚀

Update your API call to and add the field in your request body with the service point ID you want to filter by.

ℹ️

Note that the filter is available only on the shipping-options endpoint and not on the fetch-shipping-options endpoint.

📬

We’ve added the SSCC field to all announcement endpoints in Sendcloud’s API v3. Now, when you create labels, you can link a pallet with its unique SSCC number directly through the API.

💡

The SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) is an industry-standard code that uniquely identifies and tracks each pallet throughout the entire supply chain - from suppliers and carriers to distributors and retailers. By using the SSCC, you gain improved transparency, reduce shipping errors, and increase confidence in managing pallet shipments.

🚀

Simply update your API call to any endpoint by including the new field with your pallet’s SSCC code.

👉 Want to see it in action? View the documentation here.

ℹ️

Currently, the SSCC field is available only in the announcement endpoints. It’s not yet supported in the Ship and Order endpoints, but we’re working on adding it soon, so keep an eye on our changelog for updates 👀

We added 2 new features to make your shipping more efficient.

You can now automatically print Item SKUs directly on your shipping labels. Your packing team instantly knows what to pick—no extra paper, no extra steps.

Adding SKUs to the label helps you speed up fulfillment, reduce packing errors, and even cut down on paper waste in your process 🌱

You can now automatically include Customer Notes on your labels. Any delivery instructions coming from checkout are passed straight to the carrier—no more copying, pasting, or risking important info being missed.

⚙️

Your labels will automatically include the selected information.

ℹ

Availability depends on the carrier and shop integration. Check the Help Center for more details.

When announcing a parcel with API v2, you use a shipping method ID. In API v3, that changes - you now need to use a shipping option code instead.

To make this transition easier, we’ve introduced a new endpoint that automatically maps your existing shipping method IDs to the correct shipping option codes.

💡

Without this endpoint, you'd need to manually match your v2 shipping methods to v3 shipping options - and with over 8,000 shipping method IDs in Sendcloud, that’s a lot of work and room for error.

This new endpoint does the heavy lifting for you, so you can migrate faster, with less guesswork.

Just make a call to:

This returns the matching shipping option code for any shipping method ID you provide.

API v3 gives you access to our latest features, including:

If you’re still on API v2, you’re missing out, now’s the perfect time to migrate.

Return-related emails that were previously hidden are now fully visible and customizable in your Tracking Messages settings.

You can now activate, deactivate, and edit the content of these emails - just like you do with other notifications.

Before, these emails were sent automatically, with no way to adjust the content. Now you decide what gets sent, and how - giving you more control over the return experience and better alignment with your brand.

Go to ‘Tracking’ > ‘Email notifications’ in your Sendcloud menu. You’ll see the return emails listed there - ready to edit and enable as needed.

You can now activate or deactivate triggers with a single click—right at the trigger level.

Previously, you had to manage each trigger per country or turn off an entire channel. Now there’s a much easier way in between.

Before, turning off a trigger meant clicking through every country—sometimes 9+ clicks just to pause one message.

Now? One click and you're done.

Go to ‘Tracking’ in the menu and open Email, SMS, or WhatsApp notifications. You’ll find a new on/off toggle for each trigger.

📬

You can now add custom notes to your shipping labels via API v3!

Whether it’s delivery instructions for the driver (“leave at the back door”), a short message to your customer, or internal notes like SKUs to speed up picking and packing - you can now include that info directly on the label.

💡

Adding notes to your labels means:

Whether it's cutting down on failed deliveries or helping your team move faster, a little note goes a long way.

🚀

When creating a shipment via the Shipments API v3, just include your note in the label_notes field.

📬

You can now send international multi-parcel shipments in one go - complete with pre-filled customs documents for each parcel.

💡

Previously, if your international order needed more than one parcel, you had to either create labels directly with your carrier or generate each label manually in Sendcloud. That meant more time, more clicks, and more room for error.

Now? You can create and announce all your international parcel labels at once - right from your Sendcloud account.

You’ve got two options:

🔍

In the Panel, you can set insurance per parcel - but it must be the same amount for all parcels in the shipment.

If you need to set different insurance values for each parcel, use API v3 instead. We're exploring ways to make this more flexible in the Panel.
