Shipping Setup
Channel Shipping Mappings
Channel shipping mappings translate the shipping option a customer selected on a sales channel into a central shipping policy so the order can be routed and fulfilled correctly.
Rate Shopping & Estimated Shipping Costs
Rate shopping retrieves real-time carrier rates through ShipEngine to find the cheapest way to ship, while estimated shipping costs are stored at the item, order, and fulfillment-request levels to inform pricing and lowest-cost routing.
Shipments
Shipments track items shipped from your sources, usually imported automatically via Get Shipments and synced to channels via Sync Orders, with support for manual entry and tracking suppression.
Shipping Labels
Buy, manage, print, and automate shipping labels in Flxpoint through its ShipEngine integration - rate shop across carriers and purchase labels directly on fulfillment requests. Covers requirements, the purchase flyout, bulk printing, Vendor Portal sharing, automation, and carrier-specific label fields.
Shipping Management
How shipping policies, source shipping methods and channel shipping mapping fit together - the three layers that connect what a customer picks at checkout to the carrier service your supplier actually ships with.
Shipping Policies and Configuration
Shipping policies bind channel shipping mappings to eligible source shipping methods, forming the middle layer that lets each incoming order route to the right way of shipping out from a source.
Source Shipping Methods
Source shipping methods define the carrier, service level, and shipping code a source needs to fulfill accurately, keeping Flxpoint and the supplier aligned on how orders ship out.
