Step 3 Order Processing



Step 3.1 Turn on the Shipping minus inventory option


To use proprietary warehouse to fulfill orders, you need to enable the Shipping minus inventory option first.

Click the Settings button to enter the Order & Shipping settings page, then click Process Settings, then turn on the Shipping minus inventory option to use inventory for shipping.
 



Step 3.2 Order processing-Pending



Orders in the pending status are mainly due to four reasons: no mapping of SKU, out of stock, invalid address and unpaid.

You can first update the order's shipping warehouse in batches. After checking the order, click Warehouse in Batch Modify to enter the Edit Warehouse page.





On the Edit Warehouse page, you can select the corresponding proprietary warehouse, and then click Save to update the order's shipping warehouse in batches.







(1) When the order appears in Unmapped, you can click the Unmapped icon and select the corresponding SKU for matching.







After selecting the corresponding SKU, a Link Products prompt will appear:

(1) Click Only this modification will only take effect on the current order;

(2) Clicking Yes will take effect on unmatched orders and all subsequent orders.







(2) When the order appears in Out of Stock, please check whether the warehouse is selected correctly. If the stock is insufficient, please replenish the stock, and then click the Refresh Stock button to match the stock.







Step 3.3 Order processing-To ship



In the To ship state, you can mainly add the size and weight information of the package and select logistics.



(1) Single operation



Simply click on the Buy Label of the order to enter the corresponding Buy Label page of the order.







On the order Buy Label page, please confirm the following information:

2. Fill in the Package weight and select or enter the package dimensions;

3. Select Shipping Carrier;

4. Select Carrier rates;

Finally, click Buy Label, and the order will enter In Process status.

3.Obtaining status indicates that the application is under way;







For orders in the Normal status, you can click the Print Label of a single order to print the shipping label. Click Ship Order to automatically synchronize the order's tracking information to the original platform and transfer the order to the Shipped status.
