Shipping and Creating Labels

To enable shipping with 2Ship, admin permission is required.

When checking out with a 2Ship account, two ship buttons will appear in the backend’s Order Details as shown below, the buttons are Ship and 1 Click Ship:

Checking out without a 2Ship account will render the Ship button only. The difference between the two is that the 1 Click Ship relies on the defaults to Ship directly without the ability to edit any settings. Checking out with 2Ship fills all the required fields.

1 Click Ship

When clicking this option One page with all the various fields is filled with the current order settings. The only button is Get Rates then after a successful response a second button appears to actually ship the order.

After clicking Get Rates then select the radio button:

The next time this page is accessed, a summary of the result is displayed:

Ship

When clicking this option, the user will be allowed to change the number of packages, weights, dimensions, parcel types, addresses and other settings.

Page 1

This page details the items of the order, packages can be added there, quantities can be split.

Page 2

This page shows the Sender and Recipient details, all fields can be edited.

Page 3

This page shows the packages, weights, dimensions, and type can be changed

Page 4

This page differs when the 2Ship checkout was used in the order. If it was using a 2Ship account, then the user will see the available shipping methods that use 2Ship in the first dropdown followed by dropdowns of Carriers and Services.

When checking out without 2Ship then the first dropdown will be of the producer 2Ship accounts.

The first option (By Company Methods) will only show the accounts selected when defining the method, whereas By Producer Accounts option will display all available Carriers and Services to select from.

A button at the top of the page will allow switching between the two pages. The buttons are By Producer Account and By Company Methods.

2Ship eAlerts can added on the 4^th page by clicking the eAlert button.

To Ship, first Click the Get Rates button then select an option (by checking off a radio button) then hit the SHIP button.
