Configuring documents to be generated and printed for orders

With the new store fulfillment flow , you can configure documents to be generated and printed for each customer order. These documents include packing slips, invoices, shipping labels, and return labels.

You can set a global documents configuration across all stores in your business or a store-specific configuration that will override the global configuration.

Setting up a global documents configuration

To set a global documents configuration, use the Update global documents config method.

We support the following documents to be generated and printed:

invoice	Include this in your configuration if you want to generate an invoice.
packing_slip	Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a packing slip.
shipping_label	Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a shipping label.
return_label	Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a return label.
commercial_invoice	Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a commercial invoice. note The shipping adapter provides the commercial invoice when booking the shipment. This can only be generated for some orders, and can only be added as a default optional document.
in_store_pickup_label	Include this in your configuration if you want to generate an in-store pickup label. (Only for in_store_pick_up document type.)

A sample configuration:

{
    "default": ["invoice", "packing_slip", "shipping_label", "return_label"],
    "default_optional": ["commercial_invoice"],
    "in_store_pick_up": ["invoice", "in_store_pickup_label"],
}

To check your documents configuration, use the Get global documents config method.

Setting up a store-specific documents configuration

If you have a store for which you need different documents to be generated and printed, use the Update store-specific documents config method.

Scenario:

Consider you have stores in different countries but in Japan you don't need to print a return label. In this scenario, you can use the Update store-specific documents config method to set the documents configuration for each store in Japan.

The store-specific documents config can be removed using the Delete store-specific documents config method.

Use the Get store-specific documents config method to check if you have an existing store-specific documents configuration.
