API Overview

Shipment V4

New API for shipments

The shipment V4 API enables you to pre-announce shipments, create and print labels. Instead of working with complex product codes, you can now use logical and clear product names with our new API. This ensures faster and more accurate handling of pre-announcements and shipment preparation.

Why use the Shipment V4 API

  • Generate shipping labels

    Flexibility in label choice. Produce labels based on your preferences and select the file type that suits your printer.

  • Better alignment with other PostNL services

    The new API aligns seamlessly with our other services, such as invoicing and contracts.

  • Clear product names

    Product codes are replaced with recognizable product names, making pre-announcements less error-prone and easier to understand, especially for new users.
