API - multiple packages

[bplasters]

It would be great to be able to automate multiple packages per order through the API.

The ability to set package quantity via automation rules and/or bulk edits is critical for our business. The current process of manually updating the package quantity for each order is extremely time consuming and prone to errors.

Over 2 years old and no movement? Multiple packages must be able to be automated. Why would this not be standard functionality to apply a package set to an order with automation rules?

When will this be rolled out?

Please add us a strong supporters for this functionality. We are setting up Shipstation right now & in the middle of preparing to switch from another shipping software. ShipStation is noticeably better but this is a function that will make it far better in meeting the needs of many sellers & will be a very significant improvement. Our products & the orders we receive are of the type that will greatly benefit from this Automatic Multi packages; this will make us far more efficient with less potential for errors.

I agree with all the comments here. This feature is a necessity. Would love to hear an update from ShipStation.

Any update on this? This is a big challenge as it makes it a less than automated process where it should be easy to automate. Plus this will also allow us to easily match what items in which package by being able to create the multi-packages with API. which is increasingly required for many platforms and also when customers file claims, you know what items are missing and what they got.

Wondering if any update on this MPS feature.

This would be a incredibly useful feature for larger organizations who ship large packages on a regular basis.Clicking into each order and adding a second package is untenable. Any idea if this is being considered for implementation?

Thanks for checking in on this one. We’re still interested in this idea and we don’t have a timeline on it. It isn’t on our immediate roadmap but it’s one we’d like to keep open.

I don't know how, but this needs to be cross linked with the post about automation rules being able to assign package sets. I would guess that the lack of functionality to assign package sets with automation rules is tied to the fact that there is not API integration for multiple packages (which package sets are). Almost every single one of our orders requires multiple packages. This means that we have to manually process almost every single order. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE we need this!
