Linnworks shipping labels for B2B parcel orders


Open orders in. Four carriers out.

Linnworks shipping labels can be bought outside Linnworks by exporting open orders as a CSV file and importing it into GoatLabels, which rate-shops USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL on each parcel. Free is $0 a month for 50 shipments and Pro is $40 a month flat. GoatLabels has no Linnworks connector, so tracking goes back by your own import or script.

Four carriers on every open order

USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL quoted together on each parcel in your Linnworks export, from one account with no carrier contracts to set up.

What are the ways to print shipping labels for Linnworks orders?

Linnworks prints labels itself through carrier integrations, and it lists label platforms such as Shippo and EasyPost as integrations. GoatLabels is a different route: a file or API handoff with four carriers on one account and a prepaid ledger, but no Linnworks app. The table shows the trade-offs.

How do you print shipping labels for Linnworks orders?

Linnworks label printing happens either inside Linnworks through a carrier integration, or outside it by handing the open orders to a label service. Linnworks describes itself as sitting between your sales channels and your carriers, and its Rules Engine can assign a carrier by weight, destination, channel, or your own criteria before the label prints.

The outside route suits a team that has no carrier contract for a lane, or that wants multi-carrier labels for Linnworks orders with four carriers quoted side by side, without connecting each one. In that case the order data leaves Linnworks as a file, the label is bought elsewhere, and the tracking number is loaded back so the sales channel is updated.

Can I export Linnworks open orders to buy labels in bulk?

Yes. Linnworks documents an Open Orders Export, and GoatLabels imports a CSV file of up to 500 rows at a time. Map the ship-to address, weight, and order number columns once, and each row becomes a parcel quoted on USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL with one all-in number per carrier.

The Linnworks export applies a default received date range if you do not set one, so check the range before a large run. On the GoatLabels side an import error names the row and the field, and one bad row does not fail the batch, so a single incomplete wholesale address does not hold up the rest of the wave.

How are multi-carton B2B orders from Linnworks labeled?

One order can produce several labels in GoatLabels, and each label is its own ledger line carrying the same reference. A trade order of four cartons to one retailer becomes four parcels, four tracking numbers, and four dated debits that all point at the same Linnworks order number.

That matters for Linnworks B2B order shipping because finance usually needs freight cost per order or per customer, not per label. Export the ledger and group by reference to get it. GoatLabels prints carrier labels only: it does not produce GS1-128 carton labels or EDI documents, so retailer compliance labeling stays with your current tool.

Can a script send Linnworks orders to a label API?

Yes, if someone on your team writes it. The GoatLabels REST API has unlimited calls on every plan, live and test keys, and Idempotency-Key support, so a script that retries after a timeout does not buy a second label. Tracking events arrive on signed webhooks that can be replayed.

GoatLabels does not ship a Linnworks app, and this page makes no claim about which Linnworks API or webhook features your plan includes, so confirm those with Linnworks first. You can start with the Open Orders Export and the bulk importer, then automate only the steps that prove repetitive.

When is GoatLabels the wrong choice for Linnworks shipping labels?

It is the wrong choice if you want labels printed inside Linnworks with tracking pushed to the channel automatically, because GoatLabels has no Linnworks connector and no automatic write-back. It is also wrong if you ship on your own negotiated carrier rates, which cannot be added to a GoatLabels account.

GoatLabels is parcel only, so pallets and LTL need a freight tool. It has no sub-accounts, no SSO, no SLA, and no phone support. It fits a Linnworks team that wants USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL compared on B2B parcels from one prepaid account and accepts a file or script as the handoff.

Public API v1

Open orders that become labels by script.

A script on your side can read the orders you release in Linnworks and call the REST API to rate-shop and buy each label. Calls are unlimited on every plan, with live and test keys, Idempotency-Key support, signed replayable webhooks, and rate-limit headers. The dashboard and the API spend the same prepaid wallet.

Linnworks shipping labels: FAQ

Does GoatLabels integrate with Linnworks?
No. GoatLabels has no Linnworks shipping integration, connector, or app. Orders come in by bulk CSV import of up to 500 rows per file or through the REST API, and tracking numbers go back into Linnworks by your own import or script.
Which carriers can Linnworks orders ship with through GoatLabels?
USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, rate-shopped on every parcel from one account with one all-in number per carrier, plus an international network. Parcels ship from US and Singapore origins. You cannot add your own carrier accounts or negotiated rates.
How much do Linnworks shipping labels cost through GoatLabels?
The software is $0 a month on Free with 50 shipments a month, or $40 a month flat on Pro with unlimited shipments and cheaper label rates. Labels are paid from a prepaid wallet. There is no contract.
Do tracking numbers update in Linnworks automatically?
No. GoatLabels returns tracking when the label is bought and on signed webhooks as the parcel moves, but it does not write into Linnworks. Someone on your side imports the tracking numbers or runs a script that posts them.
Can the labels print automatically at a pack station?
Yes. GoatLabels supports PrintNode auto-print, so a purchased label can go straight to a station printer. Check your printer setup with PrintNode before relying on it for a full shift.
Can I talk to someone about my Linnworks setup first?
Yes. Email contact@goatlabels.io with your monthly parcel volume, the channels you run through Linnworks, and a sample Open Orders Export if you have one. We check the file against the bulk importer and price the parcels across USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. There is nothing to sign.
