Since we have introduced Sandbox enviroment, we have decided to deprecated test_mode on the POST /shipments endpoint.

The date of removal of test_mode is yet unknown, but we highly encourage you to stop using this parameter and use the Sandbox enviroment instead.

Example​

Before​

POST https://app.shipmondo.com/api/public/v3/shipments

{
  "test_mode": true,
  "product_code": "PN_MC",
  ...
}

After​

POST https://sandbox.shipmondo.com/api/public/v3/shipments

{
  "product_code": "PN_MC",
  ...
}

We have introduced a new field named internal_reference on the parcel objects.

internal_reference allows you to assign a reference to track and identify each parcel within your shipment.

You can specify this field in the request body when creating a shipment. It will be stored with the parcel object and accessible via the API.

We have introduced a new field called additional_reference for shipments.

additional_reference allows you to specify a secondary reference when creating a shipment. This field is optional and can be used to provide additional information or identification for your shipment.

The additional_reference field is introduced at every endpoint relevant to shipments. For more details, please refer to the API Reference.

Note: Unlike reference, additional_reference is not guaranteed to be printed on the label.

We have introduced a new parcel field called stackable for shipments. As of now, this field is relevant for those booking DHL Freight Sweden shipments with the following product codes:

DHLFSE_EUC
DHLFSE_S
DHLFSE_PT
DHLFSE_EUL
DHLFSE_HD
DHLFSE_HDR

stackable allows you to specify whether an individual parcel can be stacked, providing more flexibility and efficiency in handling your shipments. stackable defaults to true if not specified.

The stackable field is introduced at every endpoint relevant to shipments. For more details, please refer to the API documentation.

A new API endpoint has been introduced, enabling creation of shipment for specific a fulfillment.

We are introducing a series of updates to our API responses and requests, specifically targeting shipment payloads. These changes are aimed at improving data consistency and ensuring clearer documentation for developers. Here’s a breakdown of the changes you need to be aware of:

Shipmondo now supports IOSS (Import One Stop Shop). It is currently supported on shipments with Bring, DHL Express, DSV XPress, FedEx and UPS.

Use the service code IOSS when booking a shipment to use it.

You can register your IOSS number under Company information

To extend the possiblities of using DSV XPress, pickup will no longer be automatically booked.

From 2024-09-10 it will be required to include the service code PICKUP if you wish to book pickup with your DSV XPress shipments.
