Section: Shipping. Part of the [API reference](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference.md). Web page: https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/shipping-labels/

This page and all 3 operation pages, in one file: https://developer.yoprint.com/llms/shipping-labels.txt

Buying Shippo labels (this spends real money), recording labels bought elsewhere, and printing labels.

## Operations (3)

- [Record a label bought elsewhere](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/shipping-labels/v2-shipment-label-create-external.md): `POST /v2/api/store/{team_slug}/v2/shipment/{hash_id}/label/external`. Records on a shipment a label you bought outside YoPrint (for example on the carrier's site), so the shipment has its tracking number.
- [Buy a shipping label (charges your Shippo account)](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/shipping-labels/v2-shipment-label-create-goshippo.md): `POST /v2/api/store/{team_slug}/v2/shipment/{hash_id}/label/goshippo` (spends money). This spends real money.
- [Download labels as one PDF](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/shipping-labels/v2-shipment-label-compile-goshippo.md): `POST /v2/api/store/{team_slug}/v2/shipment_package/labels/compile`. Merges the label files of up to 40 Shippo packages into one PDF (`compiled-labels.pdf`, shown inline), ready to print.
