Evri Integration Requirements

Connection Requirements:

  • A Corporate Client account with Evri

  • Requires the following information about your Evri account:

    • API username and password

    • API Key

    • Evri Client ID and Client Name

    • Evri Child ID and Child Name

    • ParcelShop API Key

    • Auth ID and Auth Secret

International Requirements:

  • EORI Numbers: You must provide your Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number to your Evri account manager if you ship internationally. If your Evri account does not have your EORI number, you will experience errors in ShipEngine when you try to create international labels. Do not add the EORI number to the Customs details of the shipment in ShipEngine.

  • Print three copies of the commercial invoice from ShipEngine and include them with your international shipment.

Label Requirements

  • Test Labels: Evri will provide you with a pre-determined list of addresses to use to create test labels. Send the test labels to our support team, and we will submit them to Evri for approval. We will notify you when the test labels are approved and you can start shipping!

  • Domestic Requirements: All domestic Evri shipments must have carrier insurance added with an insured value that is the same as the Order Total value.

    Contact Evri to verify whether parcel insurance is part of your contract, as some Evri plans don't require insurance value information. If parcel insurance is in your contract, Evri requires the parcel value to properly validate insurance claims.

Evri Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some common issues, potential causes, and troubleshooting tips.

Issue

How to Troubleshoot or Resolve

Error: Unable to allocate for consignmentId[174131089] at XLogics with status message: Product Harmonization Code is required. [R62455]

What it means The shipment does not have an expected Harmonization Code.

What to do: Include a Harmonization Code and try the shipment again.

Error: For domestic shipments, insurance amount must be set to the parcel's value.

What it means: Evri requires all domestic shipments to include a declared insurance value equal to the value of the order total. Without this value, Evri will send this error to ShipEngine instead of a label.

What to do:

  1. Add the insurance_provider field to your label request, and set the value to carrier.

  2. Add the insured_value field to your packages object, and set the amount value to match the Order Total value.

See Adding Insurance to a Shipment in our developer docs for more details.

Error: Evri requires you to set up your EORI number with your Evri accounts manager. Please remove all tax identifiers from this shipment

What it means: You will receive this error if you add your EORI number to Evri shipments in ShipEngine.

What to do: Instead, you must provide your EORI number to your Evri account representative. It will then print on the appropriate documents provided through ShipEngine.
