Creating a shipment

Shipping integration is now included with shopVOX Pro.

Before You Can Create A Shipment:

To create a shipment you first need to go to your settings to set up your carrier(s) (Fedex and/or UPS)

And scroll down all the way to the bottom and you will see the settings you need for your shipper (Fedex and/or UPS)

How to use this feature:

Enter all that info and then you can do one of two things.

  1. Look up rates in Quotes, Sales Orders & Invoices
  2. Create shipments Invoices only.

If you need to look up rates with your shipper go to either a Quote/Sales Order or an Invoice and you will see a Shipping button like this, choose if you want to Manage, Create or Track a Shipment.

Once the forms opens up, add the from and to address and also the package details and click on Lookup Rates like below.

The system will find the rates for you and show a list like below, pick one.

Once you choose one you can then create a shipment with this shipping service, by filling out the rest of the data.  Once you say Create shipment, there will be a button on the bottom to print the shipping labels like below.

And the labels will print like this sample label.
