Post Shipment Details

In cases where the marketplace requires the label generation at their end in their custom template, the Unicommerce posts the shipment data to such marketplaces. This also helps in verifying posted parameter values at their end. This REST API details the method in which the shipment data is communicated to the marketplace using the Unicommerce API.

Tip

  • This API is used only when the orders are shipped by the marketplace.
  • It is recommended to check out Notes for the reader. You might find this helpful as it contains Guidelines for using API references and Terminologies used here.

FAQs/Notes

Q1. When the MP doesn’t have any courier but is directly picking orders from vendors, how does UC handle it?
Ans. UC will assign the courier.

Q2. If the invoice is generated from UC’s end, can we provide its details to the MP?
Ans. Yes, Post Shipment Details api can do this. If MP does not opt Get Invoice Details api then invoice will be generated from UC’s end. Here only UC invoice series will be pass against the param invoiceNumber without Uniware Channel Code. e.g. UIN1000345. If MP opts the Get Invoice Details api then channel invoice series will be passed against the param invoiceNumber appended with Uniware Channel Code, format will be UniwareChannelCode-InvoiceNumber e.g. ChanelXYZABC-CIN1000345.

Q3. If invoice is generated from UC side then can we provide the MP the pdf of this invoice?
Ans. No we cannot do this as per the present scenario.

Q4. When does the post-shipment details API get triggered?
Ans. It is triggered before the GET/Labels API during Order Processing from UC. It helps in verifying posted parameter values at their end.

Q5. If a MP does not generate any invoices of its own and instead relies on sellers to send it to the end customers, there can be a use case where customers require digital copy of the same. Is it possible for UC to attach the Invoice PDF directly or provide a link to download the same in Post Shipment Details API?
Ans. There is no provision for passing the PDF. We would rather continue with the standard format of passing the details as different line items instead. The MPs can however use this information to design a uniform Invoice at their end, as in this case, UC sellers will be having their own customised template anyways.
