☁️ 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.
