Record Shipment

Use the Record Shipment functionality to process individual orders for shipping. You can process an individual order as multiple shipments if it is too large to be shipped in a single package. Once a shipment is recorded, the items in the shipment will automatically be marked as shipped.

The Record Shipment screen allows you to easily and quickly process an order for shipment without the need to re-enter the customer's details, re-enter order information, or use a third-party system. We'll even save you time and send your customers a notification email for you!
