> Learn how to split orders and create shipping labels for partial shipments in Starshipit.

Print a label for part of an order, then ship the remaining items separately. You can choose a different courier or service for each shipment.

## Before you begin

- Open an unprinted order with more than one item or unit to ship.
- Confirm your source platform supports partial-shipment updates. If it does not, printing the first label can update the whole source order.
- For **Unleashed Enhanced**, split the sales order into sales shipments in Unleashed before importing. Follow [Update Unleashed orders and tracking](/articles/202749509-unleashed-updating-orders). The quantity-based workflow below applies to **Unleashed Classic**.

## Print the first shipment

1. In Starshipit, go to **Orders**.
2. Open the order you want to partially ship.
3. Set the quantity to ship for each item. Use zero for items that will ship later.
4. Select the courier and service for the items you are shipping now.
5. Check the package weight, dimensions and item quantities.
6. Click **Print label**.

The shipped portion moves to **Printed**. On accounts that create an order for the remaining items, that order appears in **New**.

## Ship the remaining items

1. Open the remaining order in **New**.
2. Confirm it contains the quantities still to ship.
3. Select the courier and service for this shipment, even if you used a different courier for the first part.
4. Check the package details and click **Print label** when ready.

Repeat for any further shipments. Do not print the already shipped portion again.

## Verify the split

Check that each printed shipment has its own label and tracking number. In your source platform, confirm that only the shipped quantities were updated and that any remaining items are still available to fulfil.

For Unleashed Classic, check the sales shipment's quantities, shipping company and tracking number in Unleashed. For Unleashed Enhanced, check each sales shipment using the [Unleashed workflow](/articles/202749509-unleashed-updating-orders).

## Troubleshooting

### The remaining order is missing

Some accounts are configured not to create a Starshipit order for the remaining items after a partial shipment. Check **New** before printing again. If the expected order is missing, contact Starshipit support to confirm your account's partial-shipment setup and the supported way to ship the balance.

### The whole source order was updated

Your source platform may not support partial-shipment updates. Confirm the platform's supported workflow before printing another label. For Unleashed, check whether you use Classic or Enhanced and follow the matching procedure.
