Global-E

Global-E is not enabled by default.

Please email Development for more information.
Note: there will be additional costs involved if this option is enabled.


Overview

The integration with Global-E allows customers to ship orders to Global-E for international sales. Only the POST request for notifying Global-E of incoming shipments from customers is available and this includes:

  • Single Parcel Shipping
  • Multi Parcel (No splitting/Partial Shipping)
  • Split Parcel supporting pre-orders & backorders

Notes

  1. The call to Global-e will be done per order only once the order has moved past the shipping stage within [ Sales Invoice Manager ].
  2. The Sales Source will be used to flag the order as a Global-E order, the API export will only happen if this flag is true.
  3. The call to Global-e will be a fire and forget, and once completed, will return a successful response as long as the XML format is valid. There is no validation back to Khaos Control on the content of the API call.
  4. The address label design will be used to generate the address label required on parcels (not via the API), which will include two key barcodes which are:
    1. Invoice Code (Parcel code)
    2. Associated Reference (Order#)
    3. Address: This will be hardcoded to Global-e's shipping hub in the UK
    4. Sender: This will be sender's address.

The configuration will be carried out once your update has been applied.
