Label URL returns empty string about shippo-php-client HOT 3 CLOSED

Thank you for writing in!

Do you have the object_id of the particular Transaction object?

I suspect that the label_url was empty because the object_status for the Transaction was ERROR or QUEUED

from shippo-php-client.

@sbeidas Transaction object_id: 7bf91ee405d444339ceb0c57cde7fc2a

You are correct, object_status is QUEUED. However, in my shippo dashboard -> shipments there's a download link to a sample pdf. Is there a way to retrieve the sample label pdf?

From the code snippet you shared above, the async attribute is not set, this defaults the Transaction's creation to be asynchronous. This means that the $transaction's object_status will beQUEUED and there will be no label_url since the creation of the label is still in progress. If you refresh the object after sometime you'll see that the Transaction object_status will be no longer be QUEUED

You can create the Transaction synchronously by setting the async attribute to false (See below)

$transaction = Shippo_Transaction::create( Array( 'rate' => $rate->object_id, 'label_file_type' => 'PDF', 'async' => false ));

I hope this helps, please do let me know if you have any additional questions
