Buy Labels | FAQs
ShippingEasy's Buy Labels feature allows you to purchase many labels in less than three clicks. Using the automation that you build to provide rate quotes on your orders, you can select which orders you're ready to ship, then purchase labels - all from the ORDERS page. Learn more about buying labels in ShippingEasy.
If an order has a Shipping Preset assigned by a Shipping Rule, then ShippingEasy will try to get a rate quote. If the rate quote is successful, a label can be purchased from the ORDERS page by selecting the order and then clicking the Buy Label(s) button.
Multiple orders can be selected at once, regardless of different Shipping Presets. Buy Labels offers all of the benefits of batching without the need to make sure all orders are being shipped the same way.
Once the Buy Labels button is selected, a window displays to confirm the postage purchase amount. Click Buy and your labels will print to your selected printer. If you have selected a label format that does not include packing slips, you can choose to print packing slips when you print your labels.
