Learn how to handle fulfillment in-house with ShipCompliant.
If you choose to handle fulfillment in-house, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the following process. This is the cycle your order data will follow, and some key steps you'll see along the way.
Get your orders into ShipCompliant.
You can import orders manually, or integrate with a front-end POS system to enable order data to automatically flow into your account.
After orders are added to your account and you are ready to start the shipment process, change their status to Sent to Fulfillment.
This status will make order data visible to the fulfillment management side, but even if you are working completely in-house it is best practice to keep your order statuses accurate for reporting and troubleshooting.
Print your shipping label with the system of your choice.
Add your tracking numbers back into your ShipCompliant account.
You can do this by bulk upload (usually recommended at the beginning of each month) or individually.
ShipCompliant has connections with the common carriers (FedEx, UPS and GSL). From here, we will sync with them and show you status updates on your orders, to ensure accuracy on reports and filings.
