How to get shipping lines to your WMS / ERP system
Important note: Since 6/2025, integrations to third party WMS / ERP systems require the PREMIUM plan of Packrooster Shipping.
PREMIUM plan supports the use of shipping_lines.code to create the integration. The price of Premium plan is $49.00/mo and when shipping labels are created in the outside WMS system, there is no cost per label in Packrooster Shipping.
Packrooster Shipping writes shipping lines to two different locations, order data and order metafields.
In order data the information lies in "shipping_lines.code" that is generated like this "carrier|shipping-method|pickup-point-id|#PID". The data always has Packrooster's internal shipping rate ID #PID as the last data entry.
If you split the code by "|", you should receive three or four data strings. Three means that there is no pickup point, four means that there is a pickup point. The internal #PID always has the hashtag, so you can use that to recognize if the third entry has that, there is no pickup point selected.
Example of order datas "shipping_lines":
In order metafields the information is in JSON format and is in namespace "packrooster" key "shipping-service". The metafield will change automatically if pickup point is changed inside Packrooster. Unlike the "shipping_lines.code" the metafield will have additional information like pickup points address (street, postalcode, city and country). If your WMS / ERP system needs these kind of additional information please use order metafield to get the corresponding data.
