Book the courier from the order, and see the tracking status on the same screen.
Shipping integration connects your orders to the courier you already use, so a shipment is booked from the order itself. The label prints, the tracking number comes back onto the order, and the customer gets it on WhatsApp. Returns and cash on delivery payments are matched to their orders and are not worked out from a courier statement at month end.
Orders come in from the website, from Instagram and from the phone. Somebody copies each address into the courier portal, prints a label, writes the tracking number in a register, and pastes it back into a WhatsApp reply. Fifteen parcels take a morning, and one address gets mixed up.
With the courier connected, the shipment is booked from the order. Address, weight and value go across once. The tracking number returns to the order, and the status updates against it while the parcel travels.

How we would put it in.
Questions owners ask about shipping integration for order fulfillment.
Which couriers can you connect to?
The ones you already hold an account with, provided they give an interface for it. Aggregators cover several carriers through one connection. Name the courier you use and we check whether it offers any interface we can connect to, so your plans rest on fact.
Is this needed at eight parcels a week?
No. At that volume the courier portal and a register are cheaper than anything we would build. This starts making sense when packing is a full-time job for somebody and where-is-my-parcel calls arrive daily.
Does it give us better shipping rates?
No. Rates come from your agreement with the courier or the aggregator, and we have no part in that. What you get is the rate actually charged, recorded per parcel, which is useful the next time you negotiate.
How is cash on delivery money reconciled?
Each remittance from the courier is matched against the orders it covers, with the courier’s charges shown separately. What is short stays on a list until somebody chases it.
How is shipping integration priced?
Courier count and order volume shape it, while label formats, customer messages and cash on delivery matching add effort. The quotation lists each piece of work apart, so dropping one changes the total plainly.
What decides how soon we can book shipments?
Whether the courier offers a connection and how fast your account is approved decide it. A release for a lead courier with labels and tracking can come first. Account details and dispatch rules come from you, and the plan we write fixes the order of work. Courier approvals set the pace.
