3. Troubleshooting & Errors
TransactionID must be max 15 digits
In this case the Order ID employed is too long, to solve the issue you can switch to ShippyPro order number from My Profile > Preferences > Order reference printed on the labels:
Error generating labels: Incorrect delivery Point Relais number or the Point Relais is not opened at the moment
To be able to use a Point Relais service it is necessary to select the "Send to Point Relais" Carrier Option as well; thus, check if both options are active. If after this operation the message still shows, contact your Mondial Relay sales advisor and check if the Point Relay ID is still active.
Please also make sure that you include the drop-off point number on the request if you ship via Api.
If a point you'd like to ship to isn't shown among Point options, it means that Mondial Relay doesn't allow shipments to that specific point for that particular shipment, therefore you don't see it in ShippyPro. A certain point might not appear for various reasons, for example, if it has a "special" category and is only capable of receiving very small packages.
Problème de formatage du XML
Check whether the transaction ID (marketplace order number) contains any special characters such as #, / etc. If that's the case, delete them and try again to create the shipment / shipping label.
Le produit de livraison n'est pas autorisé
Please check whether the service you're trying to use is enabled in your carrier's contract.
Error generating labels: Incorrect phone number
The phone number format is incorrect. Try deleting the prefix (e.g. +33) and confirm again the order.
Le produit Home (HOC) n'accepte pas les points de retrait
Drop off points carrier option cannot be selected with home delivery services
El producto de entrega no se permite
The selected service is not allowed for the combination of country of origin and destination
To check: Error generating labels: Incorrect address (L1)
If this error occurs, it is possible that the character limit allowed by the courier for some of the filled fields has been exceeded. For example, for both Sender and Recipient, for the Name or Address fields the maximum number of characters allowed is 32 per field.
Error generating labels: Incorrect Merchant shipment reference
The Transaction/Marketplace ID is too long, reduce to a maximum of 15 characters.

Why can't I display my Mondial Relay drop off points?
Please keep in mind that Mondial Relay drop off points are only available for the following countries: France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Spain, Netherland, Austria and Germany.
Please note that ShippyPro will only display drop off points located no more than 10km from the zip code entered into recipient address.
Why are there more delivery points on Modial Relay's website than on Shippypro?
Only the delivery points that are actually available appear on Shippypro, whereas those that are not available (on holiday, saturated, too small, etc.) are also shown on the courier site.
