A store shipping daily orders through carriers

Daily shipping is the silent bottleneck of every active store: orders are ready, yet typing their data manually on the carrier site one by one devours hours, tracking numbers scatter across screens, and the shipping clerk chases where-is-my-shipment questions all day. A unified loop starting from the dashboard itself turns that chaos into a short morning routine that ends before the day pressure begins.

The daily loop starts from the Orders tab at the shipping page: pending orders are sent by picking the carrier from the select-carrier list and clicking send to carrier, after which refresh-tracking, print-label, and create-pickup buttons appear according to carrier capabilities. Shipped orders are followed from the same screen with period and status filters, and the tracking number and shipment reference are stored on the order with shipping history and a shipping-orders view.

In practice, connect the carrier once carefully and verify the area mapping before the first real send, then make sending one morning batch instead of dripping through the day. Print labels together and prepare parcels before the pickup courier arrives, and refresh tracking before answering shopper inquiries so you always hold the latest information.

Among the limits worth knowing, live shipment movement tracking depends on the carrier itself, and capabilities like labels and pickup appear only when the connected carrier supports them. When sending stalls over an unmapped address, review the linked problem page for handling steps.
