In this article, we will guide you through the updated 'Shipped via Platform' shipping process, enabling you to familiarise yourself with the steps and efficiently dispatch your orders.

How to Ship Your Orders

Take a look at this flowchart to understand the steps involved in shipping your orders from start to finish.

Set Up Collection Method

To start shipping, you need to set up your default collection method first. You only need to do this the first time you ship orders or if you decide to change your default collection method.
You can easily choose your default collection method in Fulfilment Settings, where you can select between pick-up or drop-off.

For detailed instructions on how to access and configure your collection method settings, please refer to this article.

🚚 Note: For existing sellers, the default collection method will be based on the seller's last selection.

Select Your Orders

1. After customers successfully place orders, find them in your Seller Centre under Orders > Manage Orders. Here, you can see an overview of all your orders in various statuses.

For more details about order statuses, check out our Managing Orders article.

2. Navigate to the 'To Ship' tab to view the orders you need to process and ship. Use our filter options to refine your orders to Fulfillment Type: Shipped via Platform and select Order Status: Awaiting Packing to identify new orders that haven't been processed yet.
   

Arrange Shipment & Print Shipping Labels

1. To process orders, mark the checkbox in front of the single or multiple orders you wish to select, then click 'Arrange Shipment.'
   
2. The system generates shipping labels automatically. Sellers can verify if the labels were successfully created and select the desired documents to print, such as shipping labels, packing lists, and picking lists. Choose the file format and paper size, then click 'Print Shipping Labels.'

📌 Please note that the default printing settings are based on your previous selection.

For further details, refer to our Shipping Labels article.

💡Seller Tip: To include the item list in your shipping labels, make sure to select both the shipping label and packing list for printing.

3. Once you've printed the shipping labels, the system will show the printing results. Check for any issues and follow the short instructions for your next steps.
   
4. For any unsuccessful labels or failed prints, visit the new Shipping Labels page to recreate, print, or view the printing history.

For further details, refer to our Shipping Labels article.

5. Now that your shipping labels are ready, you can begin packing your orders and getting ready to handover.
   

Handover to Logistics

1. After your orders are packed and ready, you have the option to either drop off your parcels or wait for the logistics providers to pick up your orders. The logistics providers will scan all your parcels to confirm collection, and the order status will automatically update to 'Shipped.' You can track your order status, whether it's 'In-Transit' or 'Delivered,' on the Seller Center.

💡Tip: If you've chosen pick-up but the logistics provider doesn't arrive as expected, we recommend dropping off your parcels instead. This helps you avoid an increased Late Dispatch Rate (LDR) and Seller Fault Cancellation Rate (SFCR).❗️Important: Sellers should complete this step and update the order status to 'Shipped' within the required shipping time to avoid auto-cancellation or late dispatch.

2. After your orders are delivered, you can view the proof of delivery by clicking 'View Logistics' and then 'Proof of Delivery' to see the details from the logistics provider.
   
   
   

*Proof of delivery is available only for J&T Express, Flash Express, and Kerry Express.
