Aras Kargo Integration: From Order to Shipment, Barcode Label Included
Aras Kargo integration: orders are shipped under your own Aras agreement, the Aras barcode prints on your shipping label and tracking is written to Shopify.
FREE PLAN · NO CREDIT CARD · WINDOWS / MAC / LINUX / WEB
The Aras Kargo integration connects your own agreement with Aras Kargo to LabelInn. For every paid Shopify order the shipment is created at Aras Kargo automatically, the tracking number and the Aras Kargo barcode print on your shipping label, and the tracking number is written back to the order. You pay Aras Kargo for postage under your agreement, not LabelInn.
Ready. Proven on Aras's test server: create and cancel. Tracking needs a separate Aras query account, so it runs once your customer code is set.
01 / ACCOUNT
What you need from Aras Kargo
When you sign an integration agreement with Aras Kargo, your branch or sales contact gives you an integration user name and password. To see delivery status inside LabelInn as well, ask Aras for your customer code and, if they are different, your tracking login.
The connect form asks for:
- Integration username
- Integration password
- Customer code (for tracking) (optional): Needed only to see delivery status in LabelInn.
- Tracking username (if different) (optional)
- Tracking password (if different) (optional)
02 / STEPS
What LabelInn does, step by step
Map your shipping methods. "Standard: Aras", "Express: another carrier", "Store pickup: do not ship". Pick a default carrier for every other method.
The order is paid, the shipment is created. LabelInn sends the order's address, phone and parcel details to Aras Kargo; the shipment is created in your own account.
The label prints with the barcode. The tracking number, the Aras Kargo barcode and the carrier name fill in on your shipping label, which prints on the thermal printer you choose or on an A4 sheet.
Tracking goes back to Shopify. Once you approve the new permission, the order is marked fulfilled with the tracking number; until then the number goes into the order note.
03 / DETAILS
Details of the Aras Kargo connection
Carrier servers refuse orders over small rules. These are the ones LabelInn already handles for Aras Kargo:
- You print the barcode. Aras scans the piece barcode, which for a one-piece shipment is the integration code LabelInn prints on your label.
- The integration code is at most 16 characters. LabelInn builds it from the order number within that limit.
- Special characters are cleaned. Aras refuses &, < and > in names and addresses; LabelInn writes "&" as "ve" (Turkish for "and") and replaces other symbols with a space.
- Retrying is safe. If the same integration code reaches Aras twice, Aras returns the same shipment; no second shipment is opened.
- Cash on delivery is supported.
- Cancel a shipment from LabelInn before Aras picks the parcel up.

|---|---|
| Cash on delivery | yes |

04 / LABEL
What is on the label
The label at the top of this page is drawn by the LabelInn Shopify app's 100 × 150 mm shipping template with a sample order: sender, recipient and address, shipping method, items, carrier name, tracking number and the Code 128 barcode the carrier scans. The customer details are sample data.
You can change the template in the LabelInn designer, add your logo, and print on 4 × 6 in, A6 or an A4 sheet. Tracking number, cargo barcode and carrier are ready-made fields you can bind into your own design.
05 / CHANNELS
Where the Aras Kargo integration works
You set up the Aras Kargo connection once; whichever way an order comes in, it goes to the same account.
- Shopify: in the Shipping tab of the LabelInn Shopify app you map your shipping methods to carriers. Every paid order is shipped automatically and the tracking number goes back to Shopify. Shopify carrier integration →
- Desktop app: in the new version of LabelInn, Settings > Cargo companies connects, tests and sets the default for the same carrier accounts.
- Automations (coming): the same shipment step for every row from Excel, Google Sheets, a database or an API. In the automation editor the "Create a cargo shipment" step is still marked "coming soon".
06 / SECURITY
Your password and your IP address
- Passwords are stored encrypted and never shown again. Not in the panel, not in the app; to change one you enter a new one.
- Requests can leave from your own PC. If Aras Kargo whitelists an IP address for integrations, the carrier requests can be sent by your own computer with LabelInn open (new desktop version, Settings > Cargo). The carrier sees your own IP; no server IP to register.
- One order never ships twice. The key sent to the carrier is fixed per order; if a request is cut off, LabelInn first asks whether the shipment was created.
