How can I enable Self-Shipping for my Printrove account?

In this article, we're going to cover how you can enable self shipping. 

Note: This is only available for Business Plan Users and only for orders placed manually, it's not available for store orders. 

Before that, as always, let's first understand what this means.

What is Self shipping?

Self-Shipping  essentially gives you the option to use your  own courier companies  with Printrove. In this case, Printrove will do the printing and the shipping is done through your  courier partner. 

Why choose Self shipping?

Reasons for Self Shipping: One of the  reasons could be that you are already partnered with a particular courier company and you really like their service.

These are the list of courier companies available: 

- Amazon easy ship 

- Snapdeal

- Flipkart

- FedEx

- Delhivery

- Ekart

- Ecom

- Xpressbees

- Aramex

- Bluedart

- DTDC

- DHL

You will have to note that you need to create a manual order for self shipping and converting a placed order Into a self-shipped order is not possible as there is a self shipping option that needs to be enabled for you in our backend systems.

Note: There is a difference between manual orders and store orders and self shipping can't be done on store orders.

So basically, Store orders are those orders that are pulled from your respective Shopify or WooCommerce stores, and self-shipping is not applicable to these orders. 

For self-shipping orders, you would have to head to the merchant panel and place a manual order.

Sneak Peek into How it Works for you: 

There are three scenarios here: 

Scenario 1: While placing your order.

You upload the shipping label while you place your order: 

Scenario 2: Upload your shipping label later.

You can choose to upload your shipping label later i.e before the order passes our Quality Check.

 

This is a test order which is in the received stage.

After the order is Qc passed, this is how it shows up in the Merchant Panel.

You can click on the edit option besides Additional Info Required and upload the shipping label.

When you click on the update, we can proceed further and ship the order.

Scenario 3: Upload your shipping label after the order is Ready To Dispatch.

This is only applicable for orders from - Amazon easy ship, Snapdeal, Flipkart.

To enable self shipping you will have to mail us at  support@printrove.com so we could get it done on our systems.
