## Overview

Generate a generic shipping label PDF without purchasing a rate from a carrier. Useful for vendors who arrange their own shipping and need a printable label for the package.

### Use Cases

* Generate labels for self-shipped orders
* Print labels for local delivery or courier pickup
* Create labels when using a carrier not integrated with the platform

## Request Body

<ParamField body="vendorId" type="string" required>
  The vendor's ID.
</ParamField>

Additional fields are passed through to the label generator (e.g. order details, addresses). The exact fields depend on the shop's label template configuration.
