☁️ Voila Update – June 6, 2025

Summer trading is kicking into gear ahead of the June Bank Holiday, and we’ve supercharged Voila with smarter courier connections, beefed-up APIs, and bulletproof fixes—so your parcels keep moving as smoothly as ever.

✨ New Features

GLS Ireland PickAndShip & PickAndReturn Support
  • Adds a FixedLinePhoneNumber field to consignee data.
  • Automatically sets shipment_service_additional_value to the next day when empty.
  • Returns a valid tracking number (with a placeholder PDF) even if no label is provided.
Amazon Service Preference Extension
  • Now honours the carrier_pickup flag in servicePreferenceList for Amazon and Amazon MFN integrations.


🛠️ Improvements


Transglobal Tracking URL
  • Builds direct links using the AirWaybillReference so you land straight on your shipment’s status page.
Export-CSV Remaining-Time Calculation
  • Adds a “remaining time” column to export reports, giving you clear deadlines in every file.
FedEx Commercial Invoice Handling
  • When autosend_pdf_commercial_invoice is true, Voila no longer asks FedEx to generate its own invoice—no more duplicate PDFs.


🐞 Bug Fixes


ParcelForce Multi-Parcel to Northern Ireland
  • Fixed a 500-error by adding the missing follow-up label request after the initial shipment call.
GLS PickAndShip/PickAndReturn Label Handling
  • Gracefully handles courier responses without a label by returning the tracking number and a default PDF.

That’s everything for this round! Here’s to faster setups, watertight security, and zero label headaches.
