As other have mentioned before me this should be cross linked to post with automation rules regarding package sets.
We would love to see this with an API option but this is something that can be easily implemented on a manage product level with a checkbox to mark SKU's if they ship individually.
Lets make this happen as going through multiple orders a day and assigning packages and weights is extremely tedious.
When will the rate request and order creation supports Multiple Package Items from API. This is a very basic feature which has been missed out and we cannot move to shipstation until this problem is not solved.
This is a big need for our company. We still have human error in shipping because you can't automate mutiple packages logic.
We need both automation rules for packaging and the ability to create orders with multiple packages via the API.
Automation Rules: If item = x and qty = y this use z pre-saved packaging rule.
After going live with the API today, the multiple parcel count per consignment is an absolute must. Our wholesale side of the business can have one order of 30 boxes so we would have to create 30 labels each on it's own consignment and pay our carrier for each consigment!!
I have email support and this feature is built in the main user interface, why not build it into your API even if it takes a bit more development!!
Please can this be made a priority as we need this to continue shipping.
