Benefits of the Wing x Shippingbo connector
Reduce errors that slow down your operations
Between the services to connect, the label offer to link and the tests to validate, poor configuration quickly leads to delays and corrections. Shippingbo helps structure the Wing connection to make label generation reliable from the outset.
Save your logistics teams time
Less rekeying, fewer manual checks and fewer scattered searches. Your teams spend less time correcting flows and more time moving them forward.
Give your teams greater visibility over what is enabled and usable
When information is scattered across carrier exchanges, configuration and tests, it becomes difficult to know what is genuinely ready. Shippingbo makes the connection clearer for operations, support and logistics teams.
Keep flows under greater control as volumes increase
During peak periods, unclear processes more quickly generate delays, exceptions and customer service workload. By structuring Wing operations in Shippingbo, you keep shipments cleaner and more consistent as pressure rises.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Wing to Shippingbo?
The connection starts by retrieving two items from Wing: the carrier ID and services to connect. The label offer is then identified in the admin area, after which the account is subscribed and the services are configured in the carrier contract.
Can Wing labels be generated from Shippingbo?
Yes. Once the label offer is correctly linked to the customer account and the services configured, labels can be generated in Shippingbo and then tested before go-live.
Can Wing be used with several carrier services operated behind it?
Yes. The instructions show specific use cases for Colissimo, GLS, Mondial Relay, DHL and Chronopost through Wing. This requires careful configuration according to the services actually used.
