Orders Split and Emails confusing customersNew

Hey there, Thank you for reaching out to ShipStation! I understand you're seeing an issue with your split shipments failing to notify customers upon the second shipment? I can definitely look into that for you. Can you provide me with an order number that did not send email notifications as expected? It isn't an issue with just multiple emails, but can we set the automated emails for split shipments to notify customers that "this part of your order has been shipped, the rest of you reorder will be shipped separately"many customers email us scared they are only getting part of their orders because the items are missing from their emails Ah, ok gotcha, thank you for clarifying. So there is not a way to automatically send emails stating that orders have been split. You will have to setup an email template that states that the order is a split shipment, and manually apply that template to orders when they are being split and before the label is generated. This help article has information on how to setup a custom email template, and how to change the email template assigned to a specific order: https://help.shipstation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037571571-Create-Custom-Email-Templates?queryID=465eb0161835832e0b7041dec1041e34 Is this a feature that is being worked on? As a store we ship quite a few orders a day and there is no possible way for us to manually set these emails. Liz O.To my knowledge, this is not a feature that is currently in development. However, I would absolutely recommend making a post in our ideas forum, so our developers can know that there is demand for this feature to be added! Our product team looks at our forum frequently for new ideas for ShipStation. We’ve had a lot of success with user ideas turning into features.

Feature request: enable local currencies on customs invoice IOSSNew

There are two interlinked issues on ShipStation. The first is that the customs invoice isn't showing the prices in the local currency to the customer (i.e. the currency they paid in). The second is that there's no way to automatically determine if an order is within the IOSS threshold (150 EUR). It is always recommended to provide the customs invoices in the currency the customer has paid in. This is to speed up customs clearance, but also gives more reliability in terms of how much the customer will pay at the border. This is even more important with the EU's IOSS scene where there's a 150 EUR threshold. For example, consider the following scenario. You sell a product at 149 EUR on your website from the UK, and charge German VAT at 19% (so the customer pays 149+28.31 = 177.31 EUR). Because the intrinsic value is under 150 EUR I can use my IOSS number on this order. The problems are 1. I have no way in ShipStation to automatically add my IOSS number to these orders (there's no price-without-tax and there's no currency conversion), and 2. since the customs documents are in GBP (not EUR) if the exchange rate changes between the time of order and the time when the order arrives at EU customs there is a risk of my parcel being above the threshold, which means the customer will be double-charged VAT. Solution:Do the customs invoices in the local currency, where possible.Make is possible to automate the process of adding the IOSS number to an order.
