Fenix Label Printing API
- Sharath Chandra Parashara
Â
Fenix Label Printing module will provide the ability to print carrier service labels based on the packaging and the service details provided to it.
Following are the key components necessary to print the label for any carrier.
Packaging details
Dimensions information or package name (incase of carrier provided box)
Weight information
Service details
Customs information (needed only in case on international shipping)
Inputs for label printing
There are two ways the label printing can be triggered.
Identification of the previous rate id in the rate shopping response
As part of the rate shopping response, Fenix provides rate responses of each service for a shipment. Each rate response is associated with a rate id.Â
Retailers can call the API with this rate id and Fenix will be able to retrieve the request and service for the label being requested for and print the label.
Â
Manually sending the shipment and service details
To print any ad hoc labels, retailers can call the API with the package details and with the carrier service with which they want to print the label.
Carrier support
Fenix supports the majority of the US carriers and uses easypost for printing labels for any carrier it doesn’t support natively. Carriers that will be supported as part of this phase of Rate Shopping are
FedEx
UPS
USPS
DHL
Canada Post
Stamps/Endicia
