Receive bookings from Shippit

Shippit automatically generates a CSV file for each new order as it's booked by the merchant. The CSV file contains the booking and manifest details for the order. Configure your system to check for these files, download them, and process the orders.

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 creates a new order, the system 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. The booking files are put in the /shippit/inbound/ directory of 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.
