Link to print

PROFESSIONAL PLUS

Subscription plans

With link to print you can send an email containing a link to a shipping document, instead of attaching a PDF document or printing it yourself and sending it by post.

  • You can print an outbound label directly on your printer and use link to print for the return label.

  • A big advantage with link to print is that the send date and EDI to the carrier do not become outdated or misleading since the printout is not activated until the recipient chooses to print, that is, uses the link.

  • The availability of link to print depends on carrier requirements.

  • You can use link to print for both standard printing and printing favorites.

  • For using link to print through APIConnect, please refer to the REST API documentation. For OnlineConnect, please refer to the XML file specification.
