📬
What’s new?
You can now use Adyen Pay by Bank for one-time payments in France, the UK, and Germany. This lets you confirm the payment in your own bank environment, and the funds are pulled directly from your bank account.
💡
Why it matters
You have an extra way to pay without needing a credit card. It can also help you complete payments when card limits get in the way, using a familiar local bank-redirect checkout flow.
ℹ️
Good to know
Recurring payments aren’t available in the UK.
📬
What’s new?
You can now see live rates even if you haven’t entered parcel dimensions: rates will be calculated using a default size of 10×10×10 cm.
Live rates now show correctly in the new design of the New Shipment Form once you’ve entered the receiver’s address.
If you use API v3, you can now fetch live rates via the shipping options endpoint.
💡
Why it matters
You can view carrier contract rates without getting blocked by missing dimensions.
You can keep using the new Shipment Form and still see live rates when creating a shipment.
You can show direct contract rates in your own workflow using API v3.
🚀
How to use it
- In the New Shipment Form, enter the receiver’s address to see live rates.
- With API v3, request rates via the shipping options endpoint.
ℹ️
Good to know
If parcel dimensions are missing, live rates use a default of 10×10×10 cm.
Live rates via API are available in API v3 only (not API v2).
Live rates are supported by UPS, DHL Express, FedEx, GLS IT, GLS ES, TNT IT, Nacex, and SEUR.
📬
What’s new?
Shipping insurance in the Edit Order view is now clearer and uses one requested protection amount to calculate prices across all shipping methods. You can enter a “Requested shipping protection” value and see what’s covered by the carrier by default and what’s added on top.
💡
Why it matters
Shipping method prices in the dropdown are now calculated consistently, so changing carriers won’t make other options look more expensive than they really are. This makes it easier to compare shipping methods and pick the actual cheapest option for the coverage you want.
🚀
How to use it
- Open an order and go to Edit Order.
- Enter your “Requested shipping protection” amount.
- Compare shipping methods knowing the insurance pricing is based on that same value for every carrier.
📬
What’s new?
You can now set a separate default weight specifically for returns. This default weight is used when a return is created without a weight and there’s no outbound shipment to reference.
💡
Why it matters
Return parcels don’t always weigh the same as outbound shipments. Using a dedicated default return weight helps prevent incorrect label weights and unexpected shipping costs when a return is created without weight details.
By default it's empty, so nothing changes for existing users. It falls back to outbound defaults the same way it always has. Users who need it can set it when they're ready
📬
What’s new?
You can now select a carrier service once in your return rules, and the correct weight bracket is applied automatically.
💡
Why it matters
You no longer need to create separate return rules for every weight bracket, which makes setting up returns faster and easier.
ℹ️
Good to know
Your existing return rules stay unchanged unless you choose to migrate. The previous action has been renamed to “[Deprecated] Ship with return method” to avoid breaking existing setups.

Added Table Editing for Incoming Orders
📬
What’s new?

tailor the Incoming Orders list
to fit your workflow. Choose which information to show or hide, sort columns,
and add a create label button to each order.

Ship consistently to the Canary Islands and UK Crown Dependencies
📬
What’s new?
You can now ship seamlessly to the Canary Islands (Spain), as well as the Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey (UK). Shipments to these locations are handled consistently across all carriers - so whether you select “Spain” or “Canary Islands”, or choose between “United Kingdom”, “Isle of Man”, “Jersey”, or “Guernsey”, your shipment will be routed correctly.
💡
Why it matters
You no longer need to guess which country option a specific carrier expects for these destinations. This helps you avoid address-related errors when creating labels.
🚀
How to use it
- Create a shipment as usual.
- For the destination, choose either the main country or its specific territory.
- Buy the label - the correct destination is applied for the carrier you’re using.
📬
What’s new?
Customers with their own contract can now start ship from Switzerland with the Swiss Post being the first carrier available in this market.

API v3 migration guidelines are now available
📬
What’s new?
You can now use the new API v3 migration guidelines to move from API v2 to API v3. The guide includes examples for common actions (like creating parcels or orders) and shows how API v2 fields map to API v3.
💡
Why it matters
You can migrate to API v3 with clearer instructions and fewer guesswork steps. This helps you update your integration faster and with more confidence.
🚀
How to use it
- Open the API v3 migration guidelines.
- Follow the examples for the API actions you use (for example, creating parcels or orders).
- Use the field mapping section to update your requests from v2 to v3.
ℹ️
Good to know
Read the guidelines here: https://sendcloud.dev/docs/getting-started/migration-guidelines-for-api-v3
📬
What’s new?
If you're using Sendcloud rates, you can now see estimated PostNL surcharges in the price breakdown before you create a label. This works in the Sendcloud panel when you create a shipment, and for API v3 users using
shipping-options
, as long as you enter parcel dimensions at announcement.The estimates can include volumetric surcharges (>50 dm³, >100 dm³, >200 dm³), exceeding maximum dimensions (currently only for Klein Pakket), and packaging size surcharges (too small <10×10×1 cm or too large >95×70×58 cm within the EU).
💡
Why it matters
You get an early warning about possible extra carrier charges, so the final PostNL invoice is less likely to surprise you weeks later. This helps you choose the right shipment option and avoid unexpected costs.
🚀
How to use it
- Enter the parcel dimensions when announcing your shipment.
- Check the price breakdown to see any estimated surcharges before you buy the label.
ℹ️
Good to know
These are estimates and are marked as approximate, because the carrier can re-measure the parcel at scan. The surcharge is not charged at label creation; it’s shown to inform you upfront.
