Use native carrier service point IDs in API v3 shipments

📬

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

Create and announce a shipment/order via API v3.
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.
Generate the label as usual.
