FAQs

Is it possible to verify without SKU & barcode?

Yes, it is possible to verify items without SKU and barcode. You can either increase the quantity manually or use the MARK AS PACKED button to mark all ordered quantities as packed.

I don't have barcodes in Starshipit but I still would like to use validate my packing

Not every platform allows you to specify the barcode of your product. You can use the Starshipit product catalog to upload all your barcodes so that you can validate your packing even easier. For more information read our support guide. 

How do I know when the wrong item has been scanned?

If the wrong item has been scanned, an error message will be displayed to the packer. The error message will indicate that the scanned barcode does not match the product's barcode. You can then take corrective action to ensure that the correct item is scanned and packed.
