Questions About Shipping Easy
How does it work?
Periodically ShippingEasy will automatically read orders from your AmeriCommerce account and load them into your ShippingEasy account.
How do I configure the AmeriCommerce support?
A step-by-step guide to installation and configuration of our AmeriCommerce support is available here.
Are all orders sent from my AmeriCommerce account to ShippingEasy?
No. Orders that have a payment status in AmeriCommerce of "Awaiting Payment" will be brought into ShippingEasy with a status of Awaiting Payment. Orders that have a payment status in AmeriCommerce of "Approved, Pending Shipping" will be brought into ShippingEasy with a status of Awaiting Shipment. All other orders will be ignored.
What information is sent back to AmeriCommerce when I ship an order in ShippingEasy?
The tracking number of the shipment is updated on the AmeriCommerce order. In addition, the carrier and type of service are provided, along with the specific line items from the order that were included in the shipment. AmeriCommerce does not currently support recording the cost of a shipment, so that information is not sent from ShippingEasy back to AmeriCommerce.
What happens when I ship only part of an AmeriCommerce order?
AmeriCommerce does not have a "partially shipped" order status. So if you split an AmeriCommerce order in ShippingEasy, when each of the split orders ships ShippingEasy will send the shipment information to AmeriCommerce. The status of the order itself, however, will not change in AmeriCommerce to "Shipped" until all line items from the original order have been shipped.
Note that if instead of using "Split Order", you use "Split Quantity", the order will update in AmeriCommerce to a status of "Shipped" after the first shipment is sent.
What happens when I use Mark as Shipped on an AmeriCommerce order?
Selecting "Mark as Shipped" on the ORDERS page in ShippingEasy will send the shipment information back to AmeriCommerce where it will be added to the order. The status of the order in AmeriCommerce, however, does not change.
What happens when I duplicate an AmeriCommerce shipment?
If all of the line items in the order have already been shipped, it will not allow ShippingEasy to add the shipment information to the AmeriCommerce order for an additional shipment.
Does ShippingEasy support AmeriCommerce product options?
Yes! If you setup your AmeriCommerce products with "Options/Variants":
Catalog > Products > Edit Product: Options/Variants
And then log into ShippingEasy and go to SETTINGS > STORES > click Edit store settings for your AmeriCommerce store > and check the option for displaying product options:
Then you will see your customer's product option selections on the order in ShippingEasy:
