Global-e credential requirements

Prior to shipping with Global-e, you must configure credentials in the Shipium Console. You'll provide a globally unique identifier (GUID) for Global-e Merchant ID and a hub ID for Global-e Hub Code. The hub ID determines the type of label provided by Global-e. Providing a valid hub ID associated with ZPL label properties ensures that a properly formatted label will be returned. If you are uncertain about your hub ID configuration, you should reach out to your Global-e representative. Test Mode credentials are optional.

Additional requirements

For single-parcel shipments, the following additional required fields should be nested in the shipmentParameters property. For multi-parcel shipments, they should be included in multiParcelShipmentParameters.

Required fields

Request field	Details
`carrierProcessingId`	Type: String Description: You'll provide the order ID that was generated when the order was placed.
`referenceIdentifier`	Type: String Example: `123454321` Description: String passed to carriers as a reference; a unique identifier you'll pass to identify the shipment; limited to 20 characters.

A snippet of the JSON request for the API call with the required fields is included. This example is for a single-parcel shipment. The request fields for a multi-parcel shipment would be included in multiParcelShipmentParameters.

"shipmentParameters": {

   "carrierProcessingId": "string",
