With Shippo, you can create up to 100 labels at a time. We refer to this as a "batch." In this guide, we will walk you through how to purchase labels in batches in Shippo!
Creating Labels in Batches with Shippo
|
Tip: Before creating your labels, we highly recommend setting up your default outbound carrier and service level if you haven't already. Follow our guide here to learn how! |
To create labels for multiple orders in a batch:
- Open the Orders Page.
- Select the orders to be included in the batch by clicking on the box to the left of each order. Or, you can select all of the orders on the page by selecting the first box on the Orders page.
- Then, click View [number selected] Orders.
-
If you already have the package information entered and rates loaded, you can proceed with the purchase by clicking Purchase Labels.
Next, choose your Shipment Options
In the shipment options, you can:
- Select and Edit the Sender Address.
- Adjust the Shipment date.
- Add a signature confirmation.
- Add shipping insurance.
- And add an automatic return label.
- Once you have selected all the additional services you would like to add to your orders, click save.
Lastly, once rates load, choose and purchase your labels.
To purchase your labels:
- click Purchase Labels.
- Confirm the purchase.
- And lastly, download your labels and packing slips, and send notification emails to your customers.
You can download labels and packing slips at a later time from the Orders Page or Shipments Page. You can do this individually or print multiple at one time.
Additional Tips and Tricks
-
It helps to break up orders into groups to streamline the process further. For example, you can filter the Orders Page by shipping method, such as grouping all Priority Mail labels together.
- You can include international and U.S. military addresses (APO/FPO/DPO) in a batch of labels. Keep in mind that defaults will be used for the customs information (contents type will be "merchandise" and customs fees will be "DDU"). You must have an imported customs item for an order to include it in the batch.
- You can also remove services in bulk! Select all the orders you would like to edit. Then click the Package options menu. Without selecting any additional options, click save! This will remove any add-on services saved for the orders you selected.
-
The Sender and Return address for the batch will be the default addresses under Settings, then Addresses. Make sure to change the default if you’ll be sending packages from different locations.
- If you do not have automated email notifications enabled, you can manually send the notification emails to all orders in the batch. Click the Send notification email button at the right of the screen.
