The Third Party Shipments and Pickups workflow enables comprehensive management of shipments where the sender address can be customized and pickup requests can be coordinated through our API. This system provides flexible solutions for various business scenarios, from individual shipments with immediate pickup requests to bulk operations with batch processing capabilities.
Please note: all pickup functionalities require that the MOL user must be enabled for third party shipments and pickup operations. Without proper permissions, API calls will return error code indicating insufficient privileges.
The main processes outlined are:
Core data management
Essential foundation APIs for managing pickup addresses/default settings that support all pickup workflows, and for quoting third party shipments
One-shot pickup workflow
Individual shipments with immediate pickup requests, ideal for single-transaction scenarios requiring real-time courier coordination
Manual Bulk Pickup Workflow
Batch processing of multiple shipments with manual pickup request execution, providing control over when pickup requests are submitted to couriers
Automatic Bulk Pickup Workflow
Streamlined batch processing with automated pickup request handling using predefined default settings, optimized for high-volume operations
