Simplify your workflow

Before this update, you could mark orders as fulfilled in the app, but you’d need to stop by your desk for the rest of the process. Helpful when you’re trying to clean up small administrative to-dos, but nothing close to being able to manage your shipping workflow on the go.

Now, instead of having to use a computer to purchase and print your shipping labels, you can complete the process anywhere. No more making notes of tasks you need to wrap up when you get back to your desk, or waiting to get shipping labels created. Whether you’re using it yourself, or training your team, it’s easy to get started.

Fulfill from anywhere

Getting an order notification is a great feeling, no matter where you are (cha-ching!). Now, as soon as the order comes in, you can quickly create a shipping label and pay for it from your phone.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick an order and tap “Create shipping label”
  2. Choose your carrier and shipping service
  3. Buy a shipping label and print!

Your phone will automatically detect nearby printers using AirPrint or Google Cloud Print. No installation required.

Deliver great customer service

When you can manage your shipping anywhere, you and your customers both win. Now that you can print labels without tripping over wires, you can get them taken care of in record time—and your customers will notice.

“Sometimes printing the labels is something I want to take care of quickly, so the email gets sent to my customers. I’ll often print the labels before going to bed so customers know I’ve processed the order, then pack and ship the next day,” says Chris, co-founder ofCraigmont Standard Goods.
