Shipping Items

Any shippable product that is purchased will be part of a shipment for the order.  A new order can have multiple shipments when either of the following conditions apply:  

  • The customer has chosen to ship to multiple destinations.  (A new shipment will be created for each destination)

  • The products purchased are from different warehouses. (A new shipment will be created for each warehouse)

NOTE: Each product has a Shippable setting.  The options are Yes (item is shippable), No (digital file or no shipping involved), or Separately (calculates rates separately, but does not create a new shipment).

When an order has a shipment, you will be able to perform a number of changes like ship all or part of an order, add tracking numbers, print packing lists, or modify a shipment.  This document covers the basic shipping feature.

REQUIREMENTS: The ship button will only appear for shipments that have not been shipped.

  3. The Edit Shipment page gives you the ability to change the shipping address, change the number of items shipped, change pricing, or add special delivery instructions.

  4. If you want to remove an item from your order, then change the Quantity to "0".

  6. If you want to change the Price of any item, enter it in the Price column.

  7. When finished, click the SAVE button.

NOTE:  If you change the Quantity of items shipped from the Edit Shipment page, it will not create a new shipment.  If you modify the items in a shipment, you may need to manually adjust any taxes, shipping charges, or payments already made.

Add a Shipment

If you need to add a new shipping destination, then you should create a new shipment.  The merge and split shipment features can  create new shipments as well.

  4. Select a "Shipping Method" from the available options.

  5. Enter a "Shipping Charge" for the new shipment.  You can change it later by editing the shipment.

  6. You may enter a "Shipping Message" which might include any special delivery instructions.

  7. When finished, click the SAVE NEW SHIPMENT button.

  8. The Shipments page will be updated. The new shipment will be added to the order.

TIP:  To add items to the new shipment, you can use the MERGE feature or the SPLIT feature.  If you need to change the order and add an item, then you would want to go to Edit Order Items page instead.
