Receive bookings from Shippit

Shippit generates a CSV file each time a merchant manifests a batch of orders. One file covers every consignment in that manifest, with one row per package. Configure your system to check for these files, download them, and process the consignments.

It's important that you perform regular maintenance of this folder, and remove older booking files. You might prefer to do this on a regular cadence.

File location and naming

When a merchant manifests a batch of orders, Shippit generates a booking file and transfers it to the SFTP server.

The booking file is in CSV format, and uses the manifest reference number as the filename. Shippit places the booking files in your booking directory on the SFTP server.

The directory structure is configured when your account is set up, so the exact directory could be different depending on your configuration.

The booking CSV file

The booking file has one row per package. For the full column list, see the CSV schema section of the carrier set up guide.
