Click & Drop API Generate Labels
I have a few issues with Royal Mail Click & Drop API.
[1] When sending a request to /orders with the LabelGenerationRequest.IncludeLabelInResponse, 400 Bad Request is returned with 'Amount of labels across all items must not exceed 1'. This is using the CreateOrders end point and on each order is has the property to request a label. With any or all orders as true, this error is returned and no orders are created.
[2] Tracking number is not returned in the response, even when the order is successfully sent to Click & Drop account and has postage applied based on…
1 voteThank you for your feedback.
We believe there are 2 approaches you can take to solve the issue.
Approach 1) Generate 1 order at a time. This will generate a label in the response, including the PDF and the tracking number.
Approach 2) Generate multiple orders without labels (includeLabelInResponse = false). After the orders are created in bulk, you can then request labels in bulk via the Get Labels endpoint. After you have generated the labels, you can retrieve the tracking numbers via the Get Orders endpoint.
When you created orders, the API returns orderIdentifier. You can use the identifier returned to retrieve labels, and the order details. The order details contains the tracking number.
Further details can be found in our documentation:

Hopefully this resolves your issue. If any further help is needed please get in touch with our support team.

Why when you generate labels, do you have to confirm every single time to move things to a new batch?
We apply postage to all our products, then begin to print. Every time we generate labels now we have to confirm to move items to a new batch. Why? Just print the labels as before.
1 voteThank you for your feedback.
This behaviour has now been changed so you should not have to move orders to a new batch at the point of label generation.

Generate labels 1 full per page as before
Generate labels and certificates of posting separately again. The new system means I can't just print a batch of labels off! Previously I could send them to print 4 per page on sticky 2x2 A4 sheets and peel and apply.
1 voteThank you for your feedback.
You should be able to select which documents are printed and how many labels appear per page in your C&D settings. For more information, please consult our help guide Choosing your label format.

Can't buy stamps for HMRC BX9 1AN address. Please enable the spage to accept it without requiring a town to be entered.
The page won't accept hmrc postcode.
It requires a town and none of the postcode finders give one as it is a service where post is scanned and forwarded. HMRC ask us to use this postcode BX9 1AN.1 voteThank you for your feedback.
HMRC have a different address that can be used when shipping by courier:
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/couriers
This postcode should be available to you when creating an order with Click & Drop.

Include CN22/CN23 flag in 'Create orders' API response
There is nothing in the API response to indicate if the shipment has a CN22 or CN23. This would make it much easier to script my system to request and print the correct label when required. Currently it attempts to print a CN22 and if the response from that fails it then tries to print a CN23.
This system works fine but I'd like to use the new option to print the CN22 on the main label, so I need to know in advance if the order will have a CN22 or CN23. I know I could use the value…
1 voteThank you once again for your suggestion.
This information is now available in the Create orders API response.
Kind regards,

Select a Default Shipping Service
To save a click, it would be so handy to be able to choose a default shipping service which is automatically selected (as long as it isn't hidden), as personally we only use the 48 option, and I would presume many users will have a particular service that is used most of the time.
It's mildly frustrating having to select that box each time when that is the only service we have made visible anyway.

! New Batch Page Role Out is NOT Ready ! Please fix these school boy errors before the go live date on the: 10-4-24!
Having sent the below to Customer Support they have asked me to post it on here! Obviously they do not see this as important as it actually is! See Below:
In the new version of the batch page you have missed off the print button that appears automatically so I had to search for a way to get access to my labels! I had to manually generate the labels! Also there is no column for Dispatch Date or Generated Date, you have replaced this with 'Date'. How can you even think about a go live date when its so incomplete?…
1 voteThank you for your feedback.
The new Batches page has introduced changes to the page layout which may have caused some confusion as to the positioning of certain features. Regarding the specific issues you mentioned:
- The Print button can now be accessed from the quick actions menu on the left side of the grid
- The Generated date and Despatch date columns have now been merged into a single Date column which should display both dates.
For a more detailed description of these and all other changes to the Batches page, please consult our help guide. This contains screenshots which may be helpful if you are still uncertain on how to process your orders.
Kind regards,

IOSS and Finnish Customs
There is obviously a need for greater feedback and ability to see what the issue is with items sent to each country.
I recently sent an item to a customer in Finland, using International Tracked and entered the IOSS information as required (as VAT had been collected at point of payment).
However, the customer then gets an email a day later from Finnish Posti:
"- The VAT on the shipment has been paid during the purchase phase, but the mail has not received the necessary information from the sender to make a customs declaration for you. Come and take the…

To be able to print a CN22 customs label when sending items to Channel Isles
It would be good to be able to print a CN22 or 23 when sending items to Jersey, Guernsey etc. There is no indication on C&D that a customs label is required. If you are aware you have to manually complete a label either from a roll or online. Having them automatically printed as is the case for international mail would be very helpful and reduce the number of items posted without the necessary customs form.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. Click & Drop already produces CN22 and CN23 documents for Jersey. Please ensure you have enabled Generate customs declarations with orders in your Label Settings if you wish to generate the CN at the same time as your shipping label.
Many thanks

Supporting Adding Shipping Instructions To Orders
Add support for shipping instruction (notes) to any order, for example if the order has to be boxed or go into a jiffy we can save the notes so anytime the order sells the packer knows how it should be sent.
or for example sometimes an Amazon item listing title does not specify the colour in the title but instead in the description, we can add "send a blue one" to the notes and so on the packing sheet the details always show up.1 voteThank you for your suggestion. Click & Drop contains such a feature, Customer Delivery Notes, which can be used to add notes to an order and will be reproduced on your despatch note. Please ensure you have your label settings configured such that a despatch note is generated.
Many thanks

Single Button to Clear Filters
It would be good to have a single click reset function available in the table header; rather than the 2 click.

Issue with EU customs - Bug?
Despite filling in all of the customs information and attaching forms CN22 / CN23 via Click & Drop to my packets, I am starting to get an increased number of issues raised by customs in EU countries.
They seem to want more information from the recipient (such as national id and tax information), or a letter from me confirming the items in the packets (!), or a commercial invoice (despite the customs label and included invoice in the packet). Actually Spain said "the necessary documentation can only be sent by the sender" but they asked for id on the recipient(!)
…
1 voteThank you for your message. We aren't aware of any universal tax identifier requirements for Spain or Italy, however, depending on the nature of the goods and transmission, further information may be requested by the receiving customs to ensure the shipment is fully compliant.
If you have a specific example of a shipment, please contact the helpdesk with the details of the shipment, so that we can investigate if there are any anomalies.
Many thanks

Most complicated eBay order integration system possible
WOW!!! When I post something through eBay I click "Buy postage label", enter "Weight", click "Type of item" and select "Postage service". Takes less than a minute and label is printed. Having to manually upload a spreadsheet with all the details would take hours. For the sake of a few pence in savings it is definitely NOT worth my time. Why can't you do what eBay and other couriers do which is automatically import everything except the weight and service required. Surely it can't be that difficult. eBay, Parcel2Go, Parcel Monkey, DespatchBay etc. all do it. Or am I missing…
1 voteHi and thank you for your comment. Click & Drop has a direct integration to eBay, importing your orders automatically and providing shipping updates and tracking data back to eBay. Please go to Settings / Integrations and click 'Add new integration'. You can also follow our help guide.

Allow your customer service reps to open links
Several times, when I have had to contact the click and drop support email, I have to laboriously explain something using attached photographs, while a brief videoclip would have demonstrated the problem far more clearly. I posted a short video on YouTube but was told that you aren't allowed to open external links. I get that there are security implications, but you seem to be the only support service that can't open links. I deal with dozens of others (web hosts, payment processors, etc.) - they have no problem with external links!
1 voteHi, thank you for your suggestion. We will pass on your suggestion to the Customer Experience team.

Click & Drop Desktop 32 Bit Has Stopped Working
Click & Drop Desktop has been working fine for several years on my 32bit pc. Today, it popped a msg up "64 bit Windows is required" and exited. Every time I try to run it since, it says "you have logged in" then about 5 seconds later "64 bit Windows is required" and the program exits.
The file Click & Drop™ Desktop.exe on my pc hasn't been modified for 10mths so it must be something at your end.

Remove £0.16 Hidden charge
I use Royal Mail C&D service all the time. I have sent many parcels in the past with zero issues and really happy with the service overall. Last night I bought a label and sent a parcel this morning only to find out I was charged another £0.16 on top of the label I paid. After calling RM customer service, I was informed this was recently introduced and even customer service advisers are new to this information. But surely it is more efficient and cost effective for customer to drive to the post office and drop this off ourselves than…

BUG : Shopify integration is ignoring edited packages
Scenario
- Some of our customer orders get fulfilled and shipped separately
- We need to split shipments
- We edit the package as required on Click & Drop before creating label
Expected Result
- Integration with Shopify should only auto-fulfil the items and add tracking as per the edited package so that the remaining items can be shipped separately.
Actual Result
- The integration is ignoring any edits to packages and is adding tracking within Shopify to all items on an order.
- This is incredibly unhelpful and provides enormous scope for customers orders to then not be fulfilled as required.
Proposed Solutions
Provide the…
1 voteHello and thank you for your suggestion. You can disable shipping updates for your Shopify store as described in your proposed solution. Please review settings / Integrations / Shopify and disable the option 'Mark orders as despatched on channel'.
We are making changes to support splitting orders and will provide updates here and in our release communications when this feature becomes available.

I have attempted to add another address, used it as default but you still use my first address to request pickups from.
There should be an option to change the pickup address please.
