Generating Shipping Labels via API

Hi, I’m a new developer to the Shopify API. I am working on automating the fulfillment process for a client. My client wants to use Shopify shipping to generate labels as the rates are competitive. Is there a way to generate shipping labels from the Shopify api? I don’t see a way to do this.

Hi Gil,

Would the reverseDeliveryCreateWithShipping mutation work for your use case?

Hi Liam. Thanks for your response. I’m not sure. Let me explain further what I need and perhaps you can point me in the right direction. Here’s the scenario:

  • Customer shops my client’s store and orders a pair of shoes
  • My application fetches the order information via the Shopify API
  • Ideally, I would like to also purchase a shipping label for this order via the Shopify API and download the pdf so I can provide the order data and label to the warehouse for fulfillment. But it looks like this functionality is not available.

The only other way I see of doing this is via a third party service like ShipStation, but not sure if the rates would be as competitive as Shopify’s rates.
