Currently Brick Owl only offers two options for shipping label integration. We support direct label printing, and Click & Drop in the UK. We would like to know what other services stores are using, and might want to be integrated into Brick Owl?
Sadly they don't, but they do have marketplace integrations where it seems they can pull from a marketplace API. Something sellers can't do on their own even with 3rd party apps, but potentially something you could make happen through them.
I'd say they're the #1 shipping solution for US sellers who don't use the automatic Paypal/Shipstation integration.
I briefly looked at Packlink but it didnt look like they had an api as "packlink api" doesnt bring up anything useful on google. Is there any documentation available?
Ah, well without any proper documentation that will be a bit more difficult, but possible if we had a test account. I could look into that if there's multiple users that would use it
I use PayPal's Shipstation, for what it's worth? PayPal's API already talks to BO, so I just open Shipstation and all my BO orders are all there. It would be nice to run it via BO only instead though. I know at least a few of us exclusively ship via that route, @Lawrence , for what it's worth!
Thanks for the reply, I missed the update. I have configured it and now the button appears indeed.
I'm a bit reluctant to click on it, as I don't know what will happen. Will a label be created immediately (and will I be charged immediately), or will I get a choice for carrier, be able to supply package weight and finally an option to see the cost before ordering the label?

A nice thing that it can do is offer options at checkout, but that might be too much work, importing orders would be great.

PD: They seem to also have official integrations like Pirateship
