Set up GLS integration

GLS is one of the most widely used shipping providers in Denmark. In Shoporama, you can integrate GLS in two ways: directly from Shoporama or via GLS Uniconnect. Here, we’ll walk you through both options.

Option 1: Print directly from Shoporama

With this option, you generate and print shipping labels directly from Shoporama’s order management system.

You’ll need the following from your GLS agreement:

• API Username
• API Password
• Customer ID (typically the same as your username)
• Contact ID

Setup:

1. Go to Delivery → Setup in the admin menu
2. Check the box next to GLS to expand the GLS section
3. Fill in the API Username, API Password, Customer ID, and Contact ID fields
4. Click Save

Sender Name on Return Labels

In the same GLS section, you’ll find four fields for the sender: Sender Name, Sender Address, ZIP Code, and City. These determine the name and address that appear on your GLS return labels—that is, where the customer sends the package back to.

The fields are empty by default, in which case the name and address from your company profile are used. This information is already displayed as gray tooltips in the fields, so you can always see what will be used. If you enter something in a field, it overrides the information from your company profile. The fields function independently of one another, so you can, for example, just edit the name and let the address come from your company profile.

Note that these fields only apply to return labels. On regular shipping labels, the sender is taken from your GLS agreement—that is, the registration GLS has on your Customer ID—and you can only change this by contacting GLS.

Option 2: Use GLS Uniconnect

If you prefer to print labels through GLS Uniconnect (a program installed on your computer), Shoporama can generate a file that you import into Uniconnect.

Contact GLS for assistance with setting up Uniconnect and importing the file.

Daily Use

With direct GLS integration, your daily workflow looks like this:

1. Select the orders you want to ship
2. Click GLS in the bar at the bottom of the screen and select “Send to GLS” to create the shipments with GLS
3. Wait 10–60 seconds for the labels to generate
4. Click "Download GLS Shipping Labels" to download and print them
5. Mark the orders as “Shipped”

If you’re shipping orders one at a time, you can instead select the “Create Shipping Label” icon in the order row. You can enable this under “Buttons in the order row” in “Customize View,” which you open using the gear icon at the far right of the order list header row. The icon appears on GLS orders with the status “New” that do not yet have a label, and in this case, “Send to GLS ” will not appear in the menu with the three dots.
