There are choices for setting the delivery address for your shipment. You can pick either the ‘Billing Address’ or ‘Shipping Address’ using the radio buttons. Normally, the system fills in the shipping address based on the info you gave during checkout. If you need to change it or want a different address, don’t worry. There’s a handy feature at the top of the WooCommerce order page. It uses the default WooCommerce addresses, and you can easily pick your preferred destination by clicking on the right option. This smooth process lets you quickly adjust where your shipment goes, just the way you want.

To add new items to the order, leverage the default WooCommerce functionality. Change the order status to ‘Pending Payment’ to activate the ‘Add items’ button in the default WooCommerce ‘Item’ section. Clicking on this button enables you to include additional products in the order. After making necessary updates, click the ‘Update’ button to save changes. Upon page refresh, you’ll notice the ‘Multiple Shipping Options for WooCommerce’ section reflects the new shipment, incorporating the newly added products. Within this section, you have the flexibility to effortlessly rearrange products between different shipments using a simple drag-and-drop mechanism. This intuitive feature allows for the allocation of products to different shipments based on specific shipping requirements. Furthermore, through the ‘Items’ section, you can conveniently drag and drop items between multiple shipments.

This section includes two significant options: ‘Residential’ and ‘Liftgate.’ ‘Residential’ is tailored for small package shipping carriers and is currently compatible with UPS and FedEx services. When selected, this option triggers additional charges associated with delivering to residential addresses. On the other hand, ‘Liftgate’ is designed for LTL Freight Shipping carriers. Choosing this option incurs additional costs related to the utilization of a liftgate during the delivery process for heavy or large shipments. Once checked, these options automatically add corresponding charges to the total shipment cost. This ensures transparency in pricing and allows customers to factor in additional fees associated with specific delivery requirements.

7. Add new shipment

This is a valuable feature designed to streamline the process when a single order comprises multiple products with distinct origins. This feature becomes especially handy when you need to ship one or more products from different locations. By utilizing the ‘+ Add New Shipment’ option, you can efficiently organize and manage shipments for diverse products within the same order. This is achieved by dragging the specific product(s) into the newly created shipment and setting their respective origin addresses. Notably, this functionality caters to scenarios where you are dealing with new products originating from different locations. The flexibility of the ‘Add New Shipment’ section becomes apparent on the order page, particularly when managing multiple shipments. It provides a user-friendly and adaptable solution for handling diverse products within a single order, ensuring an efficient and customized shipping process tailored to your specific requirements. Before making the shipment, an important step is to check the latest shipping prices. You can do this by using the ‘Calculate Shipping’ button. It makes the system figure out new shipping prices based on your order. These prices will then show up in the ‘Rates’ tab, giving you a good look at all the available shipping choices. After you’ve looked at the prices and picked the service you like, you can go ahead and choose that service. Then, by clicking the ‘Ship Now’ button, the system will create the shipping label for your chosen service. This way, you can easily see and pick the right shipping option before creating the label for your shipment.

1. Packaging

This provides detailed information about how the order items are packed. This tab displays information about the packaging, including whether the items are already packed. If they are, it reveals details such as the Box name, Dimensions, Quantity, and the weight of the final box. Even if the items are not packed in boxes but have their own packaging, this tab ensures visibility of this information. It serves as a comprehensive overview, allowing you to track the specifics of each package, whether it’s in a designated box or has its own packaging arrangement. This feature adds transparency and convenience to the order fulfillment process by presenting a clear snapshot of the packing details for your items.

The ‘API Response’ tab captures the responses generated by the system during the checkout process. These responses directly influence the rates displayed at the time of placing an order. Additionally, this tab is linked to the creation of shipments, providing a record of the responses utilized for generating shipments. It’s a centralized place to track the data influencing rate calculations during order placement and shipment creation.

3. Label Confirmation

The ‘Ship Now’ button is a key tool for generating shipping labels. First, you start by using the ‘Calculate Shipping’ button. This prompts the system to calculate updated shipping prices based on your order details. Once calculated, these prices are displayed in the ‘Rates’ tab, allowing you to review and choose from the available shipping options. After selecting your preferred service from the displayed options, you can proceed by clicking the ‘Ship Now’ button. This action triggers the system to generate the shipping label specifically aligned with the service you’ve chosen. It’s a streamlined process that ensures you pick the right shipping option before creating the label for your shipment.
