We are retiring the previous Order Details view to introduce new updates that will significantly enhance your overall user experience. Continue reading and discover the top 5 reasons you’ll love the new Order Details.
1. Streamlined Split-Shipping: Our redesigned interface focuses on the shipment at hand, eliminating any confusion with other shipments, such as back-ordered items within the same order. Experience even more clarity and precision, ensuring a smoother split-shipping process.
2. Intuitive Navigation: Effortlessly move between Shipments and Returns using the new left-side menu. This user-friendly layout simplifies navigation and facilitates the quick creation of new shipments or returns, streamlining your workflow for enhanced productivity.
3. Order Summary at Your Fingertips: Access the newly added order summary feature conveniently located in the same menu, functioning as an order receipt. This new view allows you to refer back to the original order seamlessly, ensuring you meet customer expectations without the hassle of toggling between different systems.
4. Efficient Label and Packing Slip Printing: Print labels and packing slips for the specific shipment you are working on. Increase efficiency and speed in your shipping operations, allowing you to manage exceptions swiftly and effectively.

ShipStation Automation Features
ShipStation’s automation rules are actions that apply to orders that meet certain criteria. If you want all orders under 16 ounces to ship with USPS® Ground Advantage™, you can set that up. Want every other domestic order to go with UPS® Ground? You can set that up too! You can log into ShipStation and just click print!
Branded Tracking
Copy and pasting tracking numbers into a selling channel is a real pain. ShipStation automatically sends tracking data back to your selling channel and sends a shipping confirmation email to your customer. When they click on the tracking link, they see a custom tracking page with order information and updated tracking events instead of the carrier’s page. You can include links to your website, so they can reach out to you with any questions. They can also engage with your social media accounts. Everyone opens shipping confirmation emails, and a great shipping experience can bring customers back more easily.
