City Link API integration.

Postby Steve_Austen on Fri Jul 30, 2010 3:35 pm

Hello,

I have Despatch express working very well. However, I now need to get City Link working. I cannot find anything by searching the forum, has anything been done before? At the moment we are using the X-Tend software but could use any of the packages available from City Link.

If not, can anyone help with the integration even if it is a paid for support?

As this is a very common courier in Britain I was hoping it had been done before, however, if not I am sure it would be well received in the community.

Many thanks in advance.

Steve

the trouble with couriers like this is that they come and go pretty much on a monthly bases. Although CityLink has been around for some time it doesn't have a proper integration service.

Anyhow, do you have a desktop program for printing citylink labels or do you have to use their web page to upload addresses etc?

If you have a desktop program running on your pc for printing labels you can take advantage of Shipping Velocity module which can output files to be consumed by the label printing software.

If you have to print labels directly from their website you have to use Ad-hoc export file functionality to generate the file with orders
