Shipmondo integration

Shipmondo is a cloud-based freight booking platform, which also makes it easy to create and print freight labels. Shipmondo connects you to a wide variety of carriers. This makes it flexible to book shipping regardless of shipping volume.

About the integration

When the integration is set up, you can create orders in tracezilla, which sends the data to Shipmondo, where a shipment draft is automatically created.

In tracezilla, when creating an order, you just add a forwarder in the field Forwarder, and select the warehouse location entered in the integration setup.

This tutorial is divided into 3 steps:

Step 1: Create forwarder tag.
Step 2: Create tag for shipping method.
Step 3: Connect the integration.

Step 1: Create shipmondo forwarder tag

2. Click Tags.
3. Click Add new.
4. Name the tag, e.g. “Shipmondo”.
5. Tick the box by Partners.
6. Click Save.

Step 2: Create tag for shipping method

This is also used in other integrations for logistics partners, like Blue Water Shipping.

1. Click Add new in the upper right corner again.

12. Enable the integration by selecting Yes, and then Save configuration.

Create and print labels directly from tracezilla

You can link a given GLS parcel shop to a location if you use the Shipmondo integration in tracezilla, and you need to specify that the goods must be delivered to a parcel shop rather than the customer’s address.

The parcel shop is selected at the customer’s location. tracezilla searches directly in the database according to the specified address of the location.

You have the option to print your Shipmondo label directly from the sales order. Simply click on it in Quick access to documents and then confirm that you want to create the label.

You pay per label to Shipmondo according to your subscription. Read more at Shipmondo’s website.

When a Shipmondo label is created from tracezilla, be aware that tracezilla uses the gross weight registered on the SKU to calculate the weight that appears on the label. This weight cannot be changed on the label you create directly from tracezilla. It is therefore important that there is the correct gross weight for the types of goods covered by the label.
