Integrating with IFS Global Logistics

If you're based in Ireland or Northern Ireland, you can connect your IFS Global Logistics account to StoreFeeder to print IFS shipping labels. This guide explains how.

Using the current view? You set up and edit courier integrations on the legacy pages shown in this guide. See How to Manage Courier Integrations in the Current View for how to reach them.

You'll need these details from IFS. Ask your IFS Account Manager for them.

StoreFeeder can't generate or look these up for you: they come from IFS.

Step 5: Set up your courier cut-off times

Set courier cut-off times for your warehouses so orders despatch smoothly. See Courier Cut Off Times. Then ask your IFS Account Manager whether you need to send test labels.

Next, add shipping methods for the IFS services you use. See Creating a Shipping Method.

Troubleshooting

I don't have an API Key or Company Code
