Other important data you must fill in:

Service name: The field is already pre-filled with the name of the courier, in this case, GLS Online ( RO, HU, CZ, SK, SI, HR). When you generate shipping labels, you will find the service name in the xConnector interface. When you integrate more couriers services in xConnector - It is recommended to change the service name to match the name of your shipping method in Shopify to activate the automatic selection according to the courier chosen by the customer in the shipping label generation popup (so it’s not necessary to select the courier manually from the courier's list)
Enable service: ON. Make sure you enable the service.

ON: the service is active - you can generate shipping labels for GLS.

OFF: the service is inactive - you will no longer find it in your integrated courier’s list when you create a shipping label.

Each courier service require you to choose a specific service type and potentially some additional services before creating a shipping label.

For GLS, verify which service types and options your contract allows, and make sure to select them when you're generating a shipping label.
