Terms of Service

Agreement for SPConnector's automated printing services

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of SPConnector's automated packing slip printing service that integrates Shippo and PrintNode. By using our service, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and JonesLabs LLC, operating as SPConnector, regarding your use of our service.

Service Description

SPConnector provides automated packing slip printing services that:

  • Connect to your Shippo account to monitor orders
  • Automatically print packing slips via PrintNode when orders arrive
  • Provide real-time dashboard monitoring of orders and print jobs
  • Offer configurable order filtering and processing rules
  • Enable manual printing controls and order management
  • Collect anonymous website usage analytics to improve service quality

Our service acts as an intermediary between Shippo and PrintNode to automate your fulfillment workflow.

Third-Party Service Disclaimer

Important: SPConnector is an independent third-party integration service.

  • Not affiliated with Shippo: SPConnector is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to Shippo Inc. or its services.
  • Not affiliated with PrintNode: SPConnector is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to PrintNode Ltd. or its services.
  • Independent operation: Our service operates independently using the publicly available APIs provided by Shippo and PrintNode.
  • Trademark acknowledgment: Shippo and PrintNode are registered trademarks of their respective owners.

Any issues with SPConnector's service are solely the responsibility of SPConnector and not of Shippo Inc. or PrintNode Ltd.

Platform Limitations and Known Issues

Etsy Order Cancellation Status Detection

Current Limitation: Shippo's platform is unable to detect when Etsy orders transition to a cancelled state. This is a limitation of Shippo's API integration with Etsy, not a limitation of SPConnector.

Impact on Order Cancellation Documents Feature: Cancelled Etsy orders will continue to appear with an incorrect status in Shippo and thus, within SPConnector. If you have the Order Cancellation Documents feature enabled (available on Growth plan and higher), these orders will not generate cancellation documents in SPConnector.

Required Workaround: If you sell on Etsy and use the Order Cancellation Documents feature, you must:

  • Review your Etsy orders daily for cancellations
  • Manually hide cancelled Etsy orders in Shippo to prevent automatic processing
  • Inform your fulfillment team of the cancalled Etsy order.

Working Platforms: This limitation only affects Etsy. Order cancellation status detection works correctly for Shopify and other supported platforms.

Future Updates: We are actively monitoring Shippo's platform updates and API releases. When Shippo adds support for Etsy order cancellation status detection, SPConnector will automatically support it without requiring any changes from you.

No Liability for Third-Party Limitations

  • SPConnector is dependent on the capabilities and limitations of third-party services (Shippo, PrintNode, etc.)
