Zenventory has the capability of handling shipments through an established Fedex, UPS, or USPS account.  For help adding your shipping carrier, check out this help article: Adding a shipping carrier/service.

Updated Functionality 9.15.22 V3.97:  Combined Shipments: If two or more orders are shipping to the same address, they can now be easily combined & shipped together from the Ready to Ship screen using the Action menu, and any integrated order sources linked with the orders will be updated with the shared tracking number.  Detailed steps are here: Combined Shipments Article

Updated Functionality 6.7.22 V3.92: Address validation now happens automatically in the background shortly after orders are created, and a new visual indicator has been added to all orders screens to display the validation status for each order. For addresses that fail to validate, clicking the indicator will show more info and allow for corrections to be made.

  4. Enter in desired shipping information (information already entered on the order creation will populate the according field here automatically).  *NOTE:  shipment weight, carrier service, and packaging must be entered prior to checking rates.  Make sure to double check all information prior to proceeding. The rate shopping tab on the right allows you to view rate estimates starting at the lowest rate. 
  5. Once all information is entered, and verified, click "Create Label".  This will create the shipment, tracking number, and pull up a window in your browser to print the shipping label.  NOTE: If you need more than one shipping label for the shipment, you can click the "Create Label" button as many times as needed to create more labels and new tracking numbers.
  6. The "Shipped" tab on the right will display existing shipments. The action menu will allow you to view and re-print documents.
  7. Once completed creating all your needed labels, click "Close Shipping Order" close-shipping-order.png Once the order has been closed, you will not be able to go back and create additional labels for this shipment.  By closing the shipping order, the shipping page refreshes, ready to handle the next order to ship.  The closed shipment now moves to "Dispatched" orders.
