In Zippendo, a shipment is a parcel (or set of parcels) you send with a carrier. Each shipment has a carrier, a shipping product (e.g. express, standard), sender and recipient, and one or more parcels. You can create shipments manually or from an order.

​
Where to find Shipments

Open Shipments from the main menu. You’ll see:
  • A list of all your shipments (with filters and date range).
  • A Create shipment button to add a new one.
Click a shipment to open its detail page, where you can see status, documents, labels, and tracking. [IMAGE: Placeholder – Screenshot of the Shipments list with “Create shipment” and date range.]

​
What you need before creating a shipment

1

At least one connected carrier

Go to Carriers and connect a carrier (e.g. Postnord, DHL). You’ll choose carrier and product when creating the shipment.
2

At least one sender address

Set up under Settings → Sender. You’ll select which sender address to use for the shipment.
After that you can create a shipment by choosing carrier, product, addresses, and parcels. Optionally you can create a shipment from an order (e.g. from Orders → open order → Create shipment).
