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
| Tip: Before you start, set your default shipping option and outbound service level if you haven't already. See How to Set a Default Shipping Option. |
To create labels for multiple orders in a batch:
- Open the Orders page.
- Select the orders for your batch by checking the box next to each one, or check the box at the top of the list to select every order on the page.
- Click View selected to review your selected orders.
- If your package information and selected rates are already correct, click Buy to purchase your labels.
You can download labels and packing slips later from the Orders page or Shipments page, either one at a time or in bulk.
Choose your shipment options
For each batch, you can:
- Select and edit the sender address
- Adjust the shipment date
- Add signature confirmation
- Add shipping insurance
- Add an automatic return label
Once you've added the services you want, click Save.
Additional tips
- Break orders into smaller groups to keep things organized. For example, filter the Orders page by shipping method to group all Priority Mail labels together.
- You can include international and U.S. military addresses (APO/FPO/DPO) in a batch. Customs information defaults to "merchandise" for contents type and "DDU" for customs fees. Each order needs an imported customs item to be included in the batch.
- You can remove services in bulk. Select the orders you want to edit, click Package options, and click Save without selecting any additional options. This clears any add-on services saved for those orders.
- The sender and return address for a batch default to what's set under Settings > Addresses. Update the default there if you're shipping from a different location.
- If you don't have automated email notifications turned on, you can send them manually. Click Send notification email on the right side of the screen.
