We import orders from our ecom store on the day they're placed, but we don't ship until the orders are ready — typically 10 to 20 days later. When we go to print labels, the ship date on the label shows the original order date, not today.
I know I can click "Ship Today" on each order to fix it, but we process a high volume and this adds friction.
A few things I've already ruled out:
- Automation rule on import (sets a stale date, not useful for us)
- Shipping cutoff setting (that's for rolling to next day, not for this)
Questions for the community:
- Is there any way to force ship date = today at the moment of label creation, not at import?
- For those with a similar fulfillment gap, how are you handling this?
- Any presets or workarounds we're missing?
