How it fits

SAP output for Zebra printers is ZPL, often from Smart Forms or Adobe Forms with a ZPL device type. Paste it into the viewer to see it without wasting labels, or into the validator to find errors.

Example

cl_http_client=>create_by_url( EXPORTING url = 'https://api.openzpl.com/v1/templates/d123'
                             IMPORTING client = lo_http ).
lo_http->request->set_header_field( name = 'X-API-Key' value = lv_key ).
lo_http->request->set_header_field( name = 'Accept' value = 'text/plain' ).
lo_http->request->set_cdata( lv_json ).

Setting it up

Design the label in the designer with {{variables}}, save it, and copy its ID from the dashboard. Create an API key, then send your data to POST /v1/templates/{id}. The API docs have the details.

Questions

Can it replace our SAP label forms?

For many labels, yes: the layout moves to a saved design and SAP sends only the data. Test yours first.

Do I need to install anything?

Not to render labels: it's an HTTP API. To send them to a printer on your network, run the [print agent](/print-agent/) next to it.

What does it cost?

A free key allows 20 labels a day. Pro is $29 a month for 100,000 labels, and Business $99 for 1,000,000. See [pricing](/pricing/).
