Manual Booking

Manual Booking is used when labels are created outside ParcelPilot (or via a carrier portal) and you want ParcelPilot to generate a booking spreadsheet/export.

What ParcelPilot needs

No API credentials are required.

How it works

  • ParcelPilot generates an export (typically CSV) for the shipment(s).
  • You (or the warehouse team) upload the CSV to the carrier/booking system or manually book shipments.
  • Tracking numbers can then be added back into ParcelPilot so they can be pushed to the ecommerce platform (if enabled).

Where to configure it in ParcelPilot

ParcelPilot Admin → Integrations → Carrier Integrations → create/edit a Carrier Integration with platform Manual Booking.

Suggested configuration:

  • Allowed Services: define your internal service names/codes for manual booking
  • Auto Service Rules: optionally route certain orders to manual booking automatically

Operational tips

  • If you want ParcelPilot to push tracking back to the ecommerce platform, make sure the ecommerce integration has Push shipment confirmations enabled and that tracking is entered on the shipment.
