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.

FedEx Two-Factor Authentication

• Completed 2FA testing for both FedEx v1 and v2 APIs, ensuring every connection meets the highest security standards.

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.
