📬
What’s new?
You can now create and announce shipments/ orders in API v3 using native carrier service point IDs (for example PostNL
680765
or DPD
AT14957
). This means you no longer need to map carrier IDs to Sendcloud service point IDs before creating the shipment.
💡
Why it matters
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.
🚀
How to use it
  1. Create and announce a shipment/order via API v3.
  2. Use the
    service_point.carrier_service_point_id
    in the Shipments API or the
    service_point_details.carrier_service_point_id
    in the Orders API to provide the carrier’s native service point ID.
  3. Generate the label as usual.

What’s new?
You can now disable unwanted shipping methods directly in your Price List. You no longer need to contact support to have shipping methods removed.
💡
Why it matters
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.
📬
What’s new?
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.
💡
Why it matters
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.
🚀
How to use it
  1. Call the Validate an address endpoint in API v3.
  2. Fix any returned address issues before creating shipments.
ℹ️
Good to know
The endpoint is now live in API v3 and remains fully backward compatible with API v2. 💪
📬
What’s new?
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.
💡
Why it matters
You spend less time printing and matching documents, and reduce picking/packing mistakes.
🚀
How to use it
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.
ℹ️
Good to know
  • Available on Lite+.
  • Walk less in the warehouse by packing orders with the same items first. Enable Sort orders by Product sorting in Printing options, in the "Packing slip" settings.

📬
What’s new?
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.
💡
Why it matters
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.
🚀
How to use it
Just make a call to:
https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v3/shipments/announce-with-shipping-rules
You only need to reuse your existing shipment request body, and include the
apply_shipping_defaults
and
apply_shipping_rules
fields to ensure all your predefined settings are applied.
👉Want to see it in action? View the documentation here.
ℹ️
Good to know
Not all rules are compatible with multicollo shipments. For full details on this limitation, consult the API reference linked above.
📬
What’s new?
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.
💡
Why it matters?
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.
🚀
How to use it?
Update your API call to
https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v3/shipping-options
and add the
to_service_point_id
field in your request body with the service point ID you want to filter by.
👉 Want to see it in action? View the documentation here.
ℹ️
Good to know
Note that the
to_service_point_id
filter is available only on the shipping-options endpoint and not on the fetch-shipping-options endpoint.
📬
What’s new?
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.
💡
Why it matters
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.
🚀
How to use it
Simply update your API call to any
https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v3/shipments
endpoint by including the new
parcels.sscc
field with your pallet’s SSCC code.
👉 Want to see it in action? View the documentation here.
ℹ️
Good to know
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.
📦 Print SKUs on Your Label
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.

✍️ Share Imported Notes with the Carrier

  2. Delivery notes → choose
    Items SKU
    or
    Customer notes
    in the dropdown.
