THE RELEASE

The merchants who ship well don't just ship fast They ship smart

01

SHIP WITH CONFIDENCE, EVERY TIME

Every shipment that leaves your warehouse  should arrive where it’s meant to

Address errors seem small until they start adding up. One failed delivery means a support ticket, a reshipment, and an unhappy customer.  The frustrating part is that most of these errors could have been caught before the label was ever printed. Now they are.

Catch the typo before the label.

Free address validation for transactional parcels, built into the API v3 before the shipment is announced. Catch errors at the source and reduce failed deliveries and support tickets.

And there's more

from validating addresses before you commit to extending that accuracy across the platform, we've built validation into every step of the shipping process.

Separate address validation endpoint

Validate addresses independently before creating a shipment.  Avoid failed API calls and give your developers more control.

Address validation in the platform

Address validation is gradually rolling out and is available in beta in the Sendcloud platform, not just the API. Catch address errors before the label is printed, regardless of how you ship.

Address validation in API v3

Free address validation for transactional parcels, built into the API v3 before the shipment is announced. Catch errors at the source and reduce failed deliveries and support tickets. Since moving to API v3, address error rates have dropped 7x in parcels needing manual correction.

YOUR WHOLE OPERATION, RUNNING SMARTER

The difference between a smooth day and a stressful one is rarely one big issue

It's the small things that break your flow. A service point that wasn't assigned.  A carrier you couldn't activate. A tracking email that didn't match your brand. 
We've fixed those details. Here's what's changed.

Auto-assign service points for Shopify

When a buyer forgets to select a service point, we automatically assign the one closest to them. No more missing service point data, no manual fixes.

Carrier activation, made easier

Activating a new carrier contract is now easier. Get clearer feedback at every step, and move forward without needing support. Get up and running faster.

New carriers added to the network

We’ve added seven new carriers across key markets, giving you more options, more coverage, and more flexibility to find the right fit for every shipment.

  • Raben Transport is now available for BNL, Italian, and German markets.

  • DEX joins the network for UK merchants.

  • PostNord lets you connect your own contract to ship from the UK and Germany to the Nordics.

  • Correos Express Paq eCommerce brings next-day delivery with automatic rerouting to service points.

  • Swiss Post — Sendcloud’s first Swiss carrier — completes our DACH coverage across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with domestic shipping plus 231 international destinations.

  • Maersk is now available for merchants with their own direct contract.

  • Dynalogic joins the network for NL, BE, and LU markets, specializing in delivery and installation of larger goods.

For enterprise merchants, we’ve also expanded the network with additional specialized carrier integrations — speak to your account manager for more details.

Packing slip and label in one print

Print your packing slip and label together in a single PDF, A4, or A6. One less step on every outbound order.

And there's more

We’ve improved the small details that impact your day-to-day.
From smarter warehouse tools to tighter Shopify integrations, everything works smoothly across every order.

Centralized search bar

Find anything in your Sendcloud account instantly. Parcels, features, integrations, carriers, help content, … all in one place, right when you need it.

Redesigned new shipment form

A cleaner, more reliable form with items-per-parcel and insurance-per-parcel support, making multi-collo and insured shipments significantly easier to create.

Custom email sender

Send tracking and transactional emails from your own domain. Better deliverability and stronger brand consistency across every customer touchpoint.

Smarter packing slip sorting

Sort packing slips by product name to reduce warehouse walking and speed up pick-and-pack across every order.

Shopify flexible checkout naming

Control how delivery options appear at checkout, so customers always see them in a way that feels familiar and clear.

Sync Service Point details to Shopify order notes

Service point data is now stored in order notes for both auto-assigned and merchant-selected flows, keeping your order records clean and consistent.

New IOV item filters and columns

Item Name and SKU visible directly in the table, with advanced filtering by item name and SKU. Find the right order faster, without opening each one individually.

A MORE POWERFUL PLATFORM TO BUILD ON

Good integrations don’t leave gaps.

Your data is complete, in the right place, when you need it.



This release makes that possible. More complete data across the API, better documentation, and greater precision at every step. Whether you’re building checkout flows, automating fulfillment, or managing returns at scale, everything works the way you expect. 

Deeper integrations with platforms like Klaviyo also help merchants connect delivery data with smarter post-purchase customer communication.

Automated Pickup Reminders. Stop unnecessary returns-to-sender by automatically alerting your customers to collect their parcels from service points. Reduce extra return costs and shipping delays with proactive post-purchase communication.

Parcel Tracking API updates

Parcel Tracking API continues to evolve — with parcel items support and shipping options support for external parcel tracking now available in beta. Build richer tracking flows and automate more of your post-purchase operation.

And there's more

More control for technical teams. We’ve fixed key API gaps and made the Sendcloud platform easier to build on. Your team gets cleaner data, clearer flows, and fewer workarounds.

API data improvements

Goods description in Shipments API, multiple tracking numbers per shipment, sender address ID support, and visibility into which shipping rules were applied. Get the data you need, where you need it.

Shipping options API improvements

Get accurate quotes from the start. Support multi-collo shipments and returns, and full pricing breakdowns, including dimensional surcharges. 

New API documentation site

Improved search, better structure, dark mode, and Postman collections. Plus a v3 migration guide that's live now. Find what you need faster.

Carrier-native Service Point ID support

Use carrier-native service points IDs directly in Orders and Shipments API v3, removing any friction for merchants running multiple integrations.

04

YOUR COSTS, COMPLETELY VISIBLE

Unexpected charges
often show up after you’ve created the label.

By then, it’s too late to adjust pricing or protect your margins. For transactional shipments, that's changing. Here's what's new.

Surcharge estimation at label creation

For PostNL transactional shipments, estimated surcharges are now shown when you create a label, based on parcel dimensions, carrier rules, and delivery type — with more carriers coming soon.

And there's more

We've also made improvements to billing and invoice management. Now it’s easier to stay on top of your balance and keep shipping without interruptions. And for merchants shipping internationally, tax and duty estimates are on the way. You’ll be able to calculate expected landed costs before committing to cross-border decisions.

See your add-ons and costs in real time.

See exactly what you're spending as it happens. Active add-ons, usage, and costs are now visible directly in your Sendcloud account. Nothing builds up unnoticed during the month.

Taxes & duties estimation

Estimate landed costs before shipping internationally, making cross-border decisions more straightforward and pricing more predictable. Gated Beta — API only.
