Multi-carrier integration and real-time carrier rate shopping will help you save time and money.

Let’s jump over to Automation Rules and explore some of our clients’ most popular use cases for automation rules that help with consistency across the fulfillment process. VIP customer treatment: Add a gift SKU or marketing insert to their orders, give them express shipping, and prioritize the order on the day it needs to ship. Pre-sale items: Use automation rules to set an allow partial flag on SKUs marked for pre-order. Warehouse notes: Add a warehouse note to orders with SKUs that require extra instructions for packaging, particularly useful for fragile items that need special handling.
