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.
