2. Connection steps

Now that everything is correctly set up in B2C Europe portal, you're ready to connect it to ShippyPro.

  • Enter your Token, Prefix, Custom Logo URL (JPG - 300x100) and Scramble Code (For FML tracking purposes)

  • Pick your label type and your Service. If you'd like to add multiple services, you'll need to create a new connection for each one.

  • Once enabled by your Carrier Person, add your Return Credentials as well as the Return Service for your shipments.

3. Additional Options

🔁 Print return labels

You can print your return labels with the shipping label by ticking Print Return Label

🖨 Final Mile Label

Kindly note that multiparcel pre-label is not currently supported, you can proceed by using the Final Mile Label setting to print multiple PDFs:

 

This will allow you to send multiple packages to the API but with only 1 single PDF generated.

🧪 Test Mode

Enable the Test Mode if you'd like to make some test shipments. Please keep in mind that this option should be flagged only if you have test credentials, not production credentials!

✍🏻 Custom Label

If you want, you can also enter a Custom Label to recognize the connection among all the others.

4. Troubleshooting & Errors

OrderNumber: value not unique/OrderNumber is already registered into the system

This means that you’ve tried to generate multiple shipments with the same marketplace reference (TransactionID) and the carrier doesn’t allow it. At that point you can either:

  • change the reference type from My profile > Preferences > Order reference printed on the labels > ShippyPro order number and re-elaborate the orders in error

  • create the order again indicating a new marketplace reference/TransactionID
