Installation and Activation of the Shopify Multi Carrier Shipping Label app

Follow the below steps to install and activate the Shopify Multi Carrier Shipping Label app.

From the dashboard of your Shopify store, go to the Apps section and click on Recommended apps>Shopify app store.


shopify-app-store

shopify-app-store

Search for “PH MultiCarrier Shipping Label”. Click on “Add app”.


ph-multi-carrier-shipping-label-app

ph-multi-carrier-shipping-label-app

Once you add the app to your store, you will get redirected to the “Install page”. Click “Install App”


Install Shopify App

After the installation is done, select a plan to get started. 


pricing-plan

Next, enter your email address and phone number so that our team can reach out & help you onboard & set up the app:


enter-your-email-address

Verify the store location which is automatically configured by the app

Once you install and activate the app, it will automatically configure your store location as the shipping origin. It is very important that you verify if the store location configured is correct since this address will be used for calculating the shipping rates and scheduling pickups. If the address is incorrect, you will not get the accurate rates and the pickup might be scheduled for a different location.

Shopify-Origin-Address
US-location

Modify the address or add multiple store locations if required

The app allows you to modify the automatically configured store location. Also, if you have different products that are shipped from different locations, the app allows you to add multiple store locations.

Edit-the-Origin-Address

Choose the shipping carrier and configure the account

You can choose the preferred carriers under this section. The app helps in seamless integration with the following carriers using your own account.

shipping carriers

For example, if you have chosen FedEx, you need to have the Account Number, Meter Number, Web Services Key, and Web Services Password to configure your account.

Similarly, for other carriers, you need to have the account credentials to configure the carrier with the app.


Note

If you don’t have any carrier credentials handy, you can also use our test credentials for FedEx and Stamps.com (USPS) to try out the app.



Ensure Shopify Store Units For Accurate Rates & Labels

To get accurate shipping rates & labels you should ensure that the units are configured correctly in the store as well as in the app. 

Let’s check the settings which you need to check:

  • First, you need to check your Shopify Store details and under Standards and formats ensure your Default weight unit is according to your ‘shipping from country’. 

Shopify default weight unit

  • Secondly, check the Dimension unit within the app under Settings > Stores 

Note

The weight unit is not editable as it is fetched from the Shopify store settings. 


dimension unit

  • Third, check the packaging weight and dimension units under Setting > Shipping > Packaging. These units will reflect in the order summary so it is important to configure them correctly.

weight and dimension unit

Import the products

To import the products head to the Product section in the app and click on Import Products. Refer to the image below:


Import products

Once the products are imported you can check out the Import Status, Type, Scheduled at, and Batch Failure as shown below:


Product Import status and details

Configure the product dimensions and choose the right packing method

To calculate the accurate shipping rate of an order, you must configure the weight of the product correctly. The weight can be configured in Shopify under the ‘Product’ section.

To set the dimensions for your products, head to the “Product” section in the app.

Set-the-weight

Add the product dimensions

add-product-weight-&-dimension

In most of the cases, only weight is required to handle the packaging and calculate the accurate rates. So, by default, the app will calculate the rates based on the weight-based packaging method.

However, if the volumetric weight of your product is higher, you can add the dimensions of the product and choose an advanced packing method.

Weight-based packing

In this packing method, you can set a maximum weight (max.weight) for your box and the app automatically packs the maximum number of products in this box based on the max.weight.

Now, to configure the weight-based packaging method, head to App Settings --> Shipping --> Packaging. You can configure the max.weight of the box and the app will automatically handle the packaging based on that. If required, you can configure the box weight and also add a max.quantity that will be packed in a box.


weight-based-packing

Choose your preferred carrier services to display at the Shopify checkout

Normally, it’s not a good practice to display too many shipping services at checkout for the customers to choose from. The checkout process becomes seamless if you display the most perfect shipping services in a very minimal number. So, the app allows you to choose the services that you want to display at the checkout.

To do that, head to App settings --> Shipping Rates --> Rates Automation. Under this section, you can choose the preferred services to display on the checkout page. Once you have added a carrier (say FedEx), the app will automatically enable all the services by default.


edit-rate-automation

You can choose to display your preferred services if you do not require all of them


rates-automation-settings

Display rates based on other conditions

You can also choose to display the services at checkout based on different shipping criteria like Zone, Quantity, Total Weight, Price, Time, and Weight Range.


rate-automation-criterias

Rename Carrier Service

You can display a different service name at the checkout by renaming the carrier service/s. This will make your checkout much simpler to understand for your customers and there will fewer cart abandonments and better conversions.

To rename a carrier service first make sure the carrier/s is configured beforehand. To activate or add the carrier/s head over to Settings > Carriers as shown below:


connect shipping carriers

Note

  • UPS
  • FedEx
  • DHL Express
  • Canada Post

Update Holiday List, Buffer & Preparation Time

Delivery delays can occur due to holidays, while buffer and preparation time can extend the estimated delivery date or result in delays. These factors are critical in determining the delivery date and time. For eCommerce merchants, it is essential to update their holiday lists or buffer time to minimize the possibility of delays, provide accurate estimated delivery dates, and deliver a seamless delivery experience to their customers.

To update your store’s holiday dates, buffer, and shipment preparation, on your Shopify store share your list of holidays and buffer timings with the PluginHive Support team as shown below:


Note

  • FedEx supports Holiday List, Buffer & Preparation Time
  • TNT supports Holiday List

Shopify Contact form

For instance, if a customer is checking out on a store holiday, the rates and estimated delivery days will be based on the next working day, taking into account the store holiday and buffer time or preparation time. This ensures that the rates and delivery estimates are accurate and reliable for the end customer. For a better understanding refer to the image below:


holiday buffer gif

If you would like to have this feature for other carriers, contact us.


Display Live shipping rates on the Shopify checkout page

In order to display shipping rates at checkout, you have to enable carrier-calculated shipping on your Shopify store.

If you have already enabled the carrier-calculated rates on your store, it will automatically get registered in the app. But, if you have enabled the carrier-calculated rates after you have installed the app, you need to register it under the store settings.


Register-for-carrier-calculated-rates-1

Once you have registered the carrier-calculated rates, added the carrier, and selected the preferred services, add a product to the cart, and checkout. The app displays real-time shipping rates based on the carriers & services that you have chosen.


live-rates-at-checkout

Verify if the Live rates displayed by the app are accurate

Once the live shipping rates are displayed at the Shopify checkout, you have to verify, if these rates provided by the app are accurate. To verify this, head to the App settings --> Shipping rates --> Request Log. Select the required rate log.


request-log

addresses-order-details

1. Shipping address (Recipient address)
This is the address provided by the customer at checkout. Verify the shipping address and ensure that the address is within the serviceable area of the carrier that you have chosen so that, there is no extra charge added.

2. From address (Shipper address)
Verify the “from address” and ensure that the correct location is set as the default address if you have multiple “from addresses”, and make sure it is correct.

3. Items
Here, you can see the product details, quantity, weight, and dimensions (if available) of the product. Ensure that all these values match with the original product values.


Automation-summary

4. Packing summary
You can see the packaging type, weight, dimensions (if available), and the status of the packaging process. Ensure that the packaging method is correct and the values used for determining the packaging are accurate.

5. Automation summary
Under this section, you can see all the carrier services and the rates returned by the app for the available carriers. Verify if there is any mismatch in the rates.

Now, compare the rates displayed under the automation summary with the original carrier rates.

For example, you can head to the FedEx rates finder, provide all the necessary details, and find the actual rates provided by FedEx. Compare these rates with the rates displayed by the app. Similarly, you can find the rates for other carriers as well.

Now, place a few orders by choosing to ship via USPS Priority Mail, UPS Ground, UPS Second-Day Air, etc.


Verify the carrier and services selected, from the order summary

Once the order is placed, it will be automatically imported into the app and the order status will be either initial or processing. Usually, all the orders will be in the ‘Processing’ state, for which the carrier & service is selected, and the package is ready.

To view the details and verify the carrier & service selected, click on the required orders.


order-details

For all the orders, the app automatically chooses the cheapest available service or the customer-selected service for shipping.

The app automatically chooses the cheapest shipping service

By default, the app automatically chooses the cheapest available shipping service for shipping. For example, consider a case where the customer chooses “Free Shipping” at checkout. In this case, the app automatically chooses the cheapest shipping service available, which is FedEx Ground in this case.


app-chooses-fedex-ground

fedex-ground-has-cheapest-rate

The app chooses the customer-selected service

Now, consider an example where the customer chooses UPS Second-Day Air at the checkout as the shipping service. Now, once the order is imported into the app, it automatically chooses the customer-selected service, ie. UPS Second-Day Air, for shipping.

Packing methods

If the volumetric weight of your product is higher than the actual weight, then, you will have to use a packing method that uses the product weight as well as the dimensions to pack the products. So, apart from weight-based packing, there are 3 other packaging methods available in the app, that uses the product dimensions.

Box Packing

Box Packing method is based on the Box Volume, Dimensions, and Weight. To use the box packing method, make sure you have entered the product dimensions under the “Products” section.

Here, the volume of products is used to fit the total volume of the packages. To set up Box packing, head to App settings --> Shipping --> Packaging, and select “Box Packing”.


box-packing

In this method, you can create boxes based on your product weight & dimensions. Here, a box is filled based on the dimensions of the product until the box is completely filled or a minimum space is vacant.

If the next unpacked item has a volume greater than the vacant volume, it goes into the next box and this process is continued until all the items are packed properly. You can add the Inner and Outer dimensions of the box, the weight of the box, max weight, and the buffer height.

Buffer height allows you to give a percentile adjustment value while packing the products based on the box height. For example, if you have set up the box height as 100 cms, and you have a product with 20 cms height, you can fit 5 items in the particular box. But, if the product height is slightly higher, (maybe 22 cms), you would not be able to fit the products properly. To handle this, you can add a 10% buffer height, that will increase the height, and 5 items can be correctly packed in the box.


add-box-details

Stack Packing

This packing method is based on the product height. You can add a box based on your product dimensions and the app automatically packs the products one over the other, based on the height configured. You can also add a Buffer Height similar to box packing, if required.


stack-packing

Quantity-based Packing

Using this method, you can set up the packing based on the number of items that can be packed in one box. Add a box based on your product dimensions and you can set the max.quantity that can be packed in one box.


quantity-based-packing

Weight And Volume Based Packing

Weight and volume-based packing help when shipping things like cotton. Since cotton can be light but take up a lot of space, it’s important to consider both its weight and how much space it needs. If we don’t do this, the shipping rates cost might vary.

For example, imagine we’re sending a bunch of cotton shirts. If we only look at how heavy they are and not how much space they take up, the shipping cost may vary. It is the same if we take into account their volume and not weight.

By using weight and volume-based packing, we can make sure to take both weight and volume into account to get accurate shipping rates.

packaging details

Calculation of Weight and Volume-Based Packing

The first largest value among the dimensions will be taken as Length (any value)

The second largest value among the dimensions will be taken as Width (any value)

To calculate the height, use the following formula:

Height = Volume of product – P1 (V1) + Volume of product – P2 (V2) / length*width  

Let’s say you have two Products P1 and P2 with dimensions as follows:

LengthWidthHeightVolume
P1070405140
P2080503120

Length – 8 Width – 7
To calculate height: 140 + 120 / 8*7 = 4,642

Therefore, the dimensions of the package will be as follows:
Length – 8; Width – 7; Height – 4.642


Printing COD labels from your Shopify store

With the Shopify Multi Carrier Shipping Label app, you can handle the COD orders and print the COD labels directly from your Shopify store.

Once a COD order is placed, you can view the order under the “All orders” section in the app. Also, when you select the orders, the app automatically displays the order type, as shown below.


categorize-cod-orders

Similar to other orders, you can create the labels and the order will be marked as fulfilled. Here is a sample COD label for FedEx Ground.


FedEx-COD-label

Mark an order as “COD”

The app also allows you to change the payment type from the order section. With this option, you can mark an order as COD, even if a different payment option was selected at checkout. To do this, select the order and choose “Mark as COD order” under Advanced options.


mark-as-COD-order

This will change the payment type for the order and will be marked as a COD order.


change-payment-to-cod

To more on how to handle COD orders, visit how to handle COD effectively to increase sales on your Shopify store.


Adding default weight & dimensions for your products?

If you have products with similar weight & dimensions or negligible values, you can add default weight & dimensions for all your products so that, the packaging is handled and rates are calculated based on these values.

Also, if you have not set the actual & dimensions for your products, the default weight & dimension values will be used for handling the packaging of your products and thereby calculating the rates.


default-weight-&-dimensions

International shipping with the Shopify Multi Carrier Shipping Label app

With the app, you can easily handle International shipping. The app helps you generate a Commercial invoice for your orders and also allows you to set the customs duties payer as “Sender” or “Recipient”. Now, let’s understand the process of generating a Commercial invoice for FedEx.

Set up the Customs Duties payer

Before generating the shipping labels and commercial invoice, you need to set up the customs duties payer. To do that, head to App settings --> Carriers --> FedEx --> Other settings --> Customs duties payer. You can set the duties payer as “Sender” or the “Recipient.”
