Follow the complete Starshipit shipping workflow to bring in an order, check its details, select a courier service, print its label, and manifest it for handover.

## Before you begin

Make sure you have:

- Set your pickup address.
- [Connected a courier](/categories/couriers).
- [Connected your sales channel or business system](/categories/integrations), or prepared another way to bring orders into Starshipit.
- [Set up the Desktop Print Application](/articles/360000693156-set-up-desktop-print-application) if you are printing labels directly.

## 1. Bring in the order

Orders can import automatically from a connected system, or you can import them manually.

<!-- tabs:start -->

<!-- tab:Classic UI -->

1. Open **Orders**.
2. Click **Import**.
3. Select **Import Orders** to import from an integration, or **Upload** to import a CSV file.
4. Select the integration and date range when prompted.
5. Confirm the imported order appears under **New**.

<!-- tab:UI 2.0 -->

1. Open **Orders**.
2. Open **Import orders**.
3. Select **From integration** or **From CSV**.
4. Complete the import options, then confirm the import.
5. Confirm the imported order appears under **New**.

<!-- tabs:end -->

For automatic-import settings and detailed options, see [Import orders](/articles/206705193-import-orders).

## 2. Check the order

Review the receiver address, items, package, weight, and delivery instructions before purchasing a label.

<!-- tabs:start -->

<!-- tab:Classic UI -->

1. Enable **Invalid only** to find orders with invalid addresses.
2. Click **Auto Correct** and review the suggested changes.
3. Click **Save** when the address is correct.
4. Open the order to review its items, package, weight, and instructions.

<!-- tab:UI 2.0 -->

1. Open **More actions**, then select **Check addresses**.
2. Select the invalid orders you want to correct.
3. Click **Update** and review the suggested changes.
4. Open the order to review its items, package, weight, and instructions.

<!-- tabs:end -->

See [Validate shipping addresses](/articles/215482503-validate-shipping-addresses) when an address needs individual correction.

## 3. Choose a service and print the label

<!-- tabs:start -->

<!-- tab:Classic UI -->

1. Open the order from **Orders > New**.
2. Review the package weight and dimensions.
3. Select the courier and service.
4. Review the quoted cost where available.
5. Click **Print Labels**.

<!-- tab:UI 2.0 -->

1. Open the order from **Orders > New**.
2. Review the package weight and dimensions.
3. Under **Carrier and product**, select the courier service you want to use.
4. Review the quoted cost where available.
5. Save any changes, then use the print action to generate the shipping label.

<!-- tabs:end -->

Printing creates the tracking number and moves the order to **Printed**. See [Get a carrier quote](/articles/8306039132943-get-a-carrier-quote) when you need to compare options first.

## 4. Manifest the shipment

Not every courier requires a manifest. Check [Manifesting FAQs](/articles/360001997955-manifesting-faqs) if you are unsure.

<!-- tabs:start -->

<!-- tab:Classic UI -->

1. Open **Orders > Printed**.
2. Select the orders you are handing over.
3. Click **Manifest**, then confirm the dispatch.
4. Download the manifest report if your driver or drop-off point requires it.

<!-- tab:UI 2.0 -->

1. Open **Orders > Printed**.
2. Select the orders you are handing over.
3. Open the bulk actions and select **Manifest orders**, or click **Manifest all**.
4. Confirm the manifest.
5. Download the manifest report if your driver or drop-off point requires it.

<!-- tabs:end -->

The shipment is ready for courier pickup or drop-off when the required manifest has been successfully submitted.
