3rd-Party & Ship to Store Shipping

Many eCommerce Channels, such as Walmart DSV, Overstock and  stores managed via Commerce Hub (Home Depot, Lowes, etc), have special shipping requirements for their labels:

  1. You may be required to use special "3rd party UPS or FedEx account" to generate your label
  2. You may be required to put specific information in Reference1 and Reference2 fields on the UPS and FedEx label

Teapplix  ActionShip shipping software can be configured to meet these requirements. To setup, you need at least 2 shipping profiles:

  • On Master Default shipping profile, link your own FedEx and UPS account. This is required if you are asked to use bill 3rd-party FedEx and UPS account for your shipping.
  • Then go to Settings => Shipping Profile page, create one extra shipping profile per channel account (like Walmart DSV account) that want you to ship using their own FedEx UPS accounts. This profile can be set to a special ship from address and link your 3rd-party FedEx /UPS account (Integrations => Carriers).
  • Once the above shipping profile(s) is setup and linked, if you want ActionShip to automatically filter out Walmart DSV  and CommerceHub orders and set them with the 3rd party shipping profile,  you can do so by creating a special Order Queue  and a Search Filter.
  • You may be asked by your channel to put specific information in Reference1 and Refenerce2 fields on your shipping label. So if you also need to display certain order information on these shipping labels with special requirements.  Please contact Teapplix Support to customization.

Walmart DSV Ship To Store Orders

Walmart DSV orders maybe "Ship To Store". Such orders are marked in ActionShip as having a "Shipping Class" of "S2S-xxx", where XXX is Standard, Expedited, Next Day, etc.

In addition to Walmart specified requirements on shipping carrier, account to use for such orders. Each S2S order must have an "ASN" label with a special barcode affixed to outside of the box, in addition to the normal shipping label. This barcode is used by Walmart clerk to properly receive such an order.

ActionShip will print this ASN label automatically when you print shipping label for such orders. This ASN label is generated as "Custom Forms". When you print or reprint, you will find button or link to prompt you to "print custom forms". Print it and affix it to outside of box as indicated by Walmart.
