Auto-Purchase & Print Labels

[SharpenUp365]

Summary:
Allow users to set up automation rules that automatically purchase and print shipping labels when orders meet specified conditions—without manual confirmation.

Why This Matters:

• Saves time for businesses processing high order volumes.

• Eliminates repetitive clicks for purchasing and printing.

• Reduces fulfillment delays by sending labels directly to a designated printer.

How It Could Work:

1. Automation Rules – Define criteria (e.g., order source, shipping service, package weight, etc.).

2. Auto-Purchase – When conditions are met, ShipStation automatically purchases the label using the assigned carrier/service.

3. Auto-Print – The purchased label is sent directly to the connected ShipStation Connect printer.

4. Notifications & Logs – Option to receive a confirmation email or see activity in an “Auto Label Log” for accountability.

5. Fail-Safes – If purchase fails (e.g., invalid address, insufficient balance), flag order for review instead of stopping workflow.

Benefits:

• Streamlined fulfillment.

• Fewer manual steps.

• Faster turnaround from order to shipment.

• More scalability for growing businesses.
