This guide walks you through creating and shipping your first order in CommerceShip.

Step 1: Create or import an order

You can import orders from a connected ecommerce platform (like Shopify) or create one manually. Each order needs a ship-to address and at least one item with weight and dimensions.

Step 2: Rate shop

Once your order is ready, use rate shopping to compare prices across your connected carriers. CommerceShip shows rates side by side so you can choose based on cost, speed, or carrier preference.

Step 3: Generate a label

Select your preferred rate and generate a shipping label. Labels can be printed directly or downloaded as PDF.

Step 4: Create a manifest

At the end of the day, create a manifest to close out your shipments. This notifies the carrier that packages are ready for pickup.

Step 5: Track

After the carrier scans your package, tracking updates appear automatically in CommerceShip. You can monitor all shipments from the dashboard.
