api for printing packing slips

@SuperMgr-Sarah  No status? How about changing this to "Planned"?

Quite frustrating to see basic things like this requested but never implemented for almost 4 years.

To echo @ryan5 , this endpoint is needed thanks to the ReCaptcha being re-added to shipstation login.

Surely a GET endpoint like /packingslip/<orderId>?packingSlipTemplateId=#

can't be that hard to add...

It is 2024 and we still don’t have a create packing slip API? Seriously?

Since Shipstation is not providing additional documents such as Packing List etc for international shipment, did anyone implement custom packing list via programming. If so, what value did you put in the barcode. When we inspected the ShipStation Packing List, the barcode had a wired value

Adding here because I randomly finally had a feeling turned out right. @SH11_2 

The barcode is the order id encoded to hexadecimal with ^#^ in the beginning and ^ at the end.  Lookup up decimal to hexadecimal converter for an example.

so an id of 11234567 in the api would be a value of AB6D07. So the barcode would be ^#^AB6D07^.  

@peter5 

thank you.

Adding my vote to get packing slips via the API.  At the very least, please make the pdf similar with or without the testLabel flag.  It's so incredibly frustrating to develop against test labels, only to find out that I now need to engineer a different solution for production labels.

so ran into same issues making a custom php sctrip to make a packing slip here is some of the code you can do it by using a Decimal to Hex here is the php function and demo code. you just need to feed the function the shipstation order ID: {"orders":[{"orderId":000000000

//Convert Dec to Hex
function dec2hex($number)
{
$hexvalues = array('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7',
'8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F');
$hexval = '';
while($number != '0')
{
$hexval = $hexvalues[bcmod($number,'16')].$hexval;
$number = bcdiv($number,'16',0);
}
return $hexval;
}

//Convert Order ID into Hex
$getBarcodeHex = '^#^'.dec2hex($sh_orderId).'^';

@peter5 thanks for this thought was able to figure it out. whish they also told you about it in the api docs but nothing i could find.

@SH11_2 @pniadminlogin Your welcome (new user name due to weird login issues)

I currently use this to create a qrcode in my app that can be scanned on the orders page to bring up the order and ship in shipstation.  Will do the shipping inside my app in the future but this was the quick and easy option at the moment.

Here is some PHP and Javascript code I should have added to my previous post

PHP:

$orderId = 11234567;
$barcode = '^#^' . strtoupper(dechex($orderId)) . '^';

And reverse barcode to order ID:

$fromBarcode = '^#^AB6D07^';
if (preg_match('/\^#\^[a-fA-F0-9]*\^/', $fromBarcode) === 1) {
$fromOrderId = hexdec(substr($fromBarcode, 3, -1));
}

Javascript&colon;

const orderId = 11234567
