About the registration file
This article provides the technical details of the XML file that Paazl uses to send order information to a carrier. About the Generic Carrier interface provides the context for the use of this file.
Paazl sends a registration file for each confirmed webshop order when the associated shipment labels are generated via the web app or via a SOAP or REST API call.
File name format
The name of a registration file has the following format:
<generic carrier name>_<client number>_<date_time>.xml
Example: TRUNKRS_20181010001_20190713_151036.xml
Barcode format
The barcode of a shipping label will contain the number of your contract with the webshop concerned followed by a six-digit number (from 000000 to 999999).
