With the new Product Catalogue on checkout feature, Starshipit can now pull essential product details (like weights, dimensions, and values) directly from the Product Catalogue during checkout. This means you get more accurate shipping rates when using live rates on checkout.
Key benefits:
  • Accurate dimensions and weights: Starshipit can populate item dimensions and weights for each SKU, even if these details aren’t provided by your eCommerce platform.
  • Customised values and descriptions: Set specific product values and descriptions to help meet carrier requirements or apply rate rules with precision.
  • Improved quote accuracy: With complete product information from the Product Catalogue, your checkout rates will reflect the most accurate shipping costs, reducing potential discrepancies.
How to get started
  • If you haven’t already, load your product details into the Product Catalogue to take advantage of this feature.
  • Then, go to Settings > Product Catalogue and select Use on checkout. Starshipit will automatically use the product dimensions, weights, and values for each SKU during checkout.

We’ve added a new feature to make processing single-item orders faster and more efficient in your warehouse:
How It Works:
  1. Generate a packing summary for all orders with a single item.
  2. Bring all the listed items to the packing station.
  3. Navigate to the Workflows page and select either "Scan and open based on product barcode" or "Scan and print based on product barcode."
  4. Scan the product’s barcode, and the system will find the oldest, unprinted order for that item.
  5. Depending on your selection (print or open), the order will either print automatically or open up for you.
  6. If there are no more single-item orders for that SKU, you’ll receive a notification.
This feature eliminates the need for a packing slip on single-item orders. It flips the packing process—now you’re matching an order to a product, rather than searching for a product to match an order, making everything quicker and more efficient. 🚀
Note:
  • Excludes orders with multiple quantities of the same item.
  • Available in both the classic and UI 2.0 versions.
We're excited to announce that Packing Validation is now available in the Classic UI! 🚀
What is Packing Validation?
Packing Validation enables you to verify that all items in an order are correctly packed before dispatch. It provides real-time feedback, instantly notifying you of any discrepancies or missing items so you can address issues before orders are sent out. This ensures accurate shipments and reduces errors.
Benefits of using Packing Validation
  • Reduce packing errors:
    Save money by reducing incorrect orders, which means fewer costly replacements or reshipments.
  • Fewer customer service enquiries:
    Fewer mistakes lead to fewer customer queries, freeing up your support team.
  • Cut down on returns:
    Accurate packing means fewer returns, reducing handling costs and streamlining your operations.
  • Create happier customers:
    By delivering the right products the first time, you'll boost customer satisfaction and retention.
How to use Packing Validation
  1. In the Classic UI, click 'Packing Validation' in the main menu
  2. Scan or search for the order number of the order you want to pack
  3. Scan or search for each SKU to mark it as packed, or you can manually mark the entire SKU quantity as packed by clicking 'Mark as packed'
  4. Once all items are marked as packed, click 'Complete packing' to open the order details where you can print the shipping label
Tip:
You can also access Packing Validation from the Orders Grid. Simply right click on an order row and select 'Open with Packing Validation' from the dropdown to open the order with Packing Validation.
How to configure Packing Validation
Navigate to the Packing Validation settings page (Settings > Packing Validation) to configure to suit your needs.
  • Choose how unshipped orders should open in the Orders Grid, and
  • Choose what happens when the ‘Complete packing’ button is clicked

Starshipit now supports displaying product images on packing slips and packing summaries for orders imported from eBay and Shopify.
If your products on eBay or Shopify have images, Starshipit will automatically import and store them in your account. You can then set up your packing slips and packing summaries to display the item images.
Getting set up:
We've created a template that includes images so getting set up is quick and easy. You can set these up in your Packing Slip and Packing Summary settings in Starshipit. For more details, checkout our support guide!
You can now fully
customise your rates and courier services
directly within Starshipit. Unlike live rates at checkout, these changes will be visible in your orders within the platform.
This feature is ideal for those who want to:
  • Change courier service display names
  • Add margins to your rates in the app, including margins that reflect courier surcharges
  • Apply margins across child accounts
  • Hide specific courier services
We’re always striving to improve your experience, so be sure to explore this new feature and share your feedback on Canny!
