To start shipping using Cin7 Orderhive, it’s recommended to configure shipping settings before starting to create shipments & shipping labels. Using some of these settings can help save time in your busy days.

Let's take a look at each of the Shipping settings :

Carrier Integration:

All the required carriers need to be added in your EasyPost integration and they will be displayed directly on the orders page at the time of shipping the order.

In case the required carrier is not on the list, then you can create a Custom Shipping Method by clicking on “Custom” option and save it for further use.

 

 

Package Types:

These settings will allow defining the required package sizes which can be further used while processing the orders. 

The default package type is Predefined. There are 4 packages which are already created in the account along-with their respective dimensions (length, width and height). 

In case it’s required, the packages and their dimensions can be edited/deleted as well as any new package can also be defined by clicking on the + or Add new package type and adding various details in it such as package type, length, width, height and unit.

If there’s a need for using custom dimensions for packages, then toggle button for Custom option should be turned on and then click on Save.

 

Once the Custom option is selected, then you’ll be able to provide various dimensions for the packages while processing the order.

Shipping label Size & Format:

This setting will allow choosing the label size i.e. 4” x 6”, 8.5” x 11” and format i.e. PDF, PNG, etc. 

The default selection is 4” x 6” PDF label. 

The other options are :

  1. 8.5” x 11” PDF - It is letter size ( A4 ). To download it will be in PDF format.
  2. Original size in PNG - It is a large size image of the label provided by a carrier. It can be resized to any page size by printer settings.
  3. ZPL ( Zebra Print ) - It is format specifically for Zebra Printers.
  4. EPL2 ( Zebra Print ) - It is another format adopted by Zebra Printers.

Shipping Label Text -

Label text gets embedded on label generated from a carrier. You can add the maximum of 3 custom text on a label. It will be printed anywhere on the label based on carrier specifications.

You can have different order values to be selected in the label text along with an option of custom text.

P.S:- The label texts will only be populated on the label if the selected shipping carrier supports them.

Standard Shipping Templates:

Any particular template among those available for the shipment labels can be selected from this setting. 

A particular template can be marked as default by clicking on the star.

Alternatively, there’s a setting as well if you need a prompt each time before printing or downloading the template.

Custom Preferences:

All the necessary settings supposed to be done for International Shipping can be done from the Custom Preferences settings.
