GetPackageLabel Method

Generates a shipping label for the specified package.

Syntax

public void getPackageLabel(int packageIndex);

Remarks

When this method is called, the following properties must have been set:

• CanadaPostAccount (required)
• GroupId (required if ContractId is set)
• Packages (required)
• PaymentMethod (required if ContractId is set)
• RecipientContact (required)
• RecipientAddress (required)
• SenderContact (required)
• SenderAddress (required)
• ServiceType (required)
• ShipmentSpecialServices (optional)

To print out the ShippingLabel, you can save it to the ShippingLabelFile file in LabelImageType format.

In order to print a label and manifest to be tendered to a Canada Post driver, you must:

1. Assign each shipment a GroupId and then call GetPackageLabel for each package in the shipment.
2. Call TransmitShipments with the GroupId for the shipment.
3. Call GetManifest for each manifest in ManifestDetails.

Note that this only applies when submitting a contract shipment (ie. ContractId is set).
