FAQs
If CartonCloud is the source, at what point is the order created in Starshipit?
You can configure this using the Select the Sale Order status option in CartonCloud to trigger the creation of the shipment in Starshipit. For example, Packed or Dispatched.
If CartonCloud is the source, how does writeback work for these orders?
CartonCloud will check Starshipit for a tracking number or when CartonCloud prints the label, the tracking number is returned alongside the label to print.
To print labels in the CartonCloud interface without going into the Starshipit app, do I need to use CartonCloud's Transport App?
Not necessarily. It is possible for CartonCloud to add this in as a button in their interface or you can use Starshipit's Sidekick Chrome extension!
Will I be required to use Starshipit's Packing Validation?
No, you can continue to pick and pack in CartonCloud.
If I'm printing orders out of CartonCloud, do I need to print using the Starshipit app?
You can choose to print using either the Starshipit app or CartonCloud.
