You can now generate Royal Mail shipping labels in the following new formats using the Create shipment and Print Label API endpoints:

• PDF4X3
• PNG4X3

📘

Note

These label formats are applicable for all services except for International and Domestic Tracked High Volume services.

The following information has been added to the swagger documentation:

• As part of our CORE API, the description of the Trackings endpoint has been updated to clarify that it is now a chargeable service, billing users automatically based on the number of shipments tracked. Previously, customers manually developed endpoints to register tracking numbers for shipments, which is no longer necessary as tracking data will automatically push to their webhook upon creating a tracking account.

Based on the Royal Mail’s latest COSS specifications, the Local Collect service enhancement has been removed for shipments created using the Royal Mail Tracked and Special Delivery Age Verification services.

The following information has been added to the swagger documentation:

A new Shipping Account ID parameter has been added to the Carriers > Get Carriers section as part of our CORE API. This endpoint allows customers to get the list of carriers associated with a particular shipping account.

The following information has been added to the swagger documentation:

• A new Manifest Status endpoint has been added to the Manifest section as part of our CORE API. This endpoint allows customers to manifest their shipments in large volumes and efficiently monitor the stages of the manifest status in real-time.
• A new Manifest Async endpoint has been added to the Manifest section as part of our CORE API. This endpoint enables the system to process the shipments requests asynchronously, ensuring consistent performance even during high-volume shipment processing.

Customers that have a webhook set up in Pro Shipping v2 can now receive an ‘Expired’ event via the tracking webhook for shipments that have not received a tracking after a set number of days. This setting is added to the Tracking Webhook configuration screen in Pro Shipping v2, allowing the customers to choose whether they want to receive the expired event or not.

The ability to add and edit what3words in shipping addresses has been added. With it, you can identify the customer location with a resolution of approximately 3 meters.

Customers creating Royal Mail shipments can now use all the available Royal Mail domestic services for shipments to British Forces Post Office (BFPO) destinations. This enhancement provides the customers with a broader range of domestic services offered by Royal Mail including, Standard, Special Delivery, and Tracked services, thus providing more flexibility and convenience for users sending mail to BFPO destinations.

You can now map and view the GLS incoterm translations in the system. This is done so that if GLS is used as a partner label for Royal Mail, you can manage your GLS-specific incoterms translations during your entire shipping process.

You can now create a Royal Mail shipment using the GLS partner label. With this enhancement added, you can call the GLS CreateParcel to get a GLS label.
