We're excited to announce that Packing Validation is now available in the Classic UI! 🚀
What is Packing Validation?
Packing Validation enables you to verify that all items in an order are correctly packed before dispatch. It provides real-time feedback, instantly notifying you of any discrepancies or missing items so you can address issues before orders are sent out. This ensures accurate shipments and reduces errors.
Benefits of using Packing Validation
  • Reduce packing errors:
    Save money by reducing incorrect orders, which means fewer costly replacements or reshipments.
  • Fewer customer service enquiries:
    Fewer mistakes lead to fewer customer queries, freeing up your support team.
  • Cut down on returns:
    Accurate packing means fewer returns, reducing handling costs and streamlining your operations.
  • Create happier customers:
    By delivering the right products the first time, you'll boost customer satisfaction and retention.
How to use Packing Validation
  1. In the Classic UI, click 'Packing Validation' in the main menu
  2. Scan or search for the order number of the order you want to pack
  3. Scan or search for each SKU to mark it as packed, or you can manually mark the entire SKU quantity as packed by clicking 'Mark as packed'
  4. Once all items are marked as packed, click 'Complete packing' to open the order details where you can print the shipping label
Tip:
You can also access Packing Validation from the Orders Grid. Simply right click on an order row and select 'Open with Packing Validation' from the dropdown to open the order with Packing Validation.
How to configure Packing Validation
Navigate to the Packing Validation settings page (Settings > Packing Validation) to configure to suit your needs.
  • Choose how unshipped orders should open in the Orders Grid, and

Starshipit now supports displaying product images on packing slips and packing summaries for orders imported from eBay and Shopify.
If your products on eBay or Shopify have images, Starshipit will automatically import and store them in your account. You can then set up your packing slips and packing summaries to display the item images.
Getting set up:
We've created a template that includes images so getting set up is quick and easy. You can set these up in your Packing Slip and Packing Summary settings in Starshipit. For more details, checkout our support guide!

We’ve added a new feature to help improve your email deliverability using DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM).
What does it do?
DKIM ensures your emails are authenticated, proving to recipients’ email providers that your domain is legitimate, reducing the chance of your emails ending up in spam folders.
How it works:
1. Enter your domain in the provided textbox.
2. Click Generate to create the DKIM records.
3. You’ll see three CNAME records appear. Add these records to your domain’s DNS settings.

Once verified, your emails will be authenticated, improving deliverability.
We’ve made a few updates to our Peoplevox integration, adding some helpful new features:
Multi-Package Orders
Previously, Peoplevox would create separate consignments for each package in a multi-package order. Now, you can consolidate multiple packages into a single shipment.
• Enable this by turning on the “Consolidate multi-packages into one shipment” setting.
• We’ll wait for the entire order to be dispatched before generating a single label.
Product Catalogue Support
We’ve added support for the product catalogue with Peoplevox. This helps if you need to override fields like price or fill in missing attributes (e.g., material, mid code). The catalogue matches SKUs in your order and updates any missing or incorrect details before printing.
Writeback Carrier Service Name
Changing the carrier service in Starshipit is now reflected in Peoplevox, preventing issues with systems like Magento and Shopify. To enable this, turn on the “Write back service type to Peoplevox” setting.
Company Name Import
You can now import the company name from Peoplevox if needed
You can now filter unshipped orders by tags in the Classic UI, making it even easier to manage and prioritise your workflow. Whether you’re organising orders by attributes such as 'High Priority', 'Gift Order', or 'International Shipping', this feature allows you to further customise your view based on your needs.
How it works:
  1. In the Classic UI, navigate to the 'New' tab of the Orders Grid
  2. Click into the filter bar to expand the filter options, find 'Tags' at the bottom
  3. Click the tag you wish to filter the Orders Grid by to apply it

💡
Tip:
Tags work with exclude filtering, allowing you to filter out orders that contain specific tags. To do this: select 'Exclude' before applying your tag.
