Trackings/Orders

Our powerful API integration allows you to submit each individual parcel and order, get instant feedback, and have the most flexible data structures.

Create or Update a Tracking/Order

You can create a new tracking and order in the parcelLab system using the v4/track/orders endpoint. This allows you to submit tracking information (that is: courier and tracking_number) for one or multiple parcels with a corresponding order number and can also be used to inform parcelLab to expect tracking information for a specified order.

If submitting the order details before the tracking information, the relevant tracking details that follow should be sent via the v4/track/orders endpoint as well when you receive it.

You can set tags on a tracking that allow you to easily identify custom attributes in filters and exports (for example: tags: ["category:womens fashion", "brand:Parkers", "season:W24", "category:sweater", "material:cashmere"]). For further information, see our data model documentation.

Create or Update Order (recommended)

put

Create or update an order. If the order already exists, it will be updated. Order data does not need to be providedin full with every call. If the order already exists only changed fields or mutation actions (add tracking, cancel tracking, etc.) need to be submitted.This endpoint is idempotent.

Create a Tracking/Order

You can create trackings and orders in the parcelLab system using the v4/track/orders endpoint.

The same endpoint is used to create and update a tracking and order. For further information, see how to update an order.

When you receive tracking information (that is: courier and tracking_number) for an order, you should send this data to parcelLab using this endpoint to update the record.

Create Order

post

Create a new order, if it does not exist. If the order already exists, this will result in an error. If you need to perform an (idem-potent) create or update, please use this endpoint. This endpoint will validate the payload. If the payload is invalid, it will return a 400 Bad Request.
