Additional Features for GLS Germany
ShipStation's integration with GLS Germany allows for the following additional features:
The carrier can be used to create domestic shipping labels.
The carrier can be used to create international shipping labels.
ShipEngine will submit international customs declarations electronically to the carrier.
The carrier can be used to create domestic return labels.
When an API call is made to the Rates endpoint, ShipEngine will return estimated shipping rates for the carrier based on the connected account information and shipment details.
Shipment insurance, provided by the shipment's selected carrier, can be added to the shipment in ShipEngine. This insurance would be in addition to any default coverage already provided by that carrier.
Shipping labels created for this carrier will include a tracking number that can be used to view the shipment status on the carrier's tracking website. Tracking may not be available for all shipping services.
Shipment manifests and End of Day documents are generated as PDF files that can be printed along with shipping labels. Because these documents are not electronically submitted, physical copies must be provided to the carrier.
This carrier can be used to create multi-package shipments, where multiple labels are created for a single shipment and the individual packages are linked together in a single shipment record with a master tracking number.
You can connect this carrier to ShipEngine multiple times using different accounts and choose which account will be used to create each shipment.
