Today we have pushed an update to the app (available via the 'update now' banner when opening the app) that introduces a new settings page: GS1 Barcodes.

Enabling this setting allows GS1 barcodes to be scanned, with which we will compare the GTIN against the Order items' barcode field. If there is a match in the order you are picking, we will update the quantity picked based on the quantity stored in the GS1, and if you choose, we will capture and tag orders with:

If you attempt to pick the same GS1 in an order, you will receive an error letting you know that GS1 was already scanned.

If you attempt to pick a previously picked GS1, you will receive an error letting you know that GS1 has already been picked.

Please let us know how you get on and if there are any issues, or any additional enhancements to make.

We’re excited to announce that Starshipit now integrates with My NZ Post Business! This new integration allows you to register and use My NZ Post Business as a carrier within the Starshipit platform.

This integration enables you to ship to both domestic and international destinations.

We've introduced a new setting to determine whether or not the app consolidates items when picking multiple orders

We've introduced a new setting to determine whether the app should auto-focus on the search input box when navigating around the app. Enabling this is super handy if you are using a bluetooth scanner or a device with an built-in scanner - no need to continuously press the text box to regain focus.

You can now reconcile freight costs for any courier by uploading a CSV and entering the tracking number column name. If the column isn’t found, we’ll show a clear error to help you correct it. This makes it easier to verify charges even when the courier isn’t directly supported.

The mobile app has had a tidy-up to improve usability, and now shows a warning if your shipping cost is higher than what the customer paid at checkout—helping you catch and address margin issues early.

You can now book pickups with Toll IPEC and Toll Priority directly from Starshipit in both Classic and Blazor UIs, making it easier to manage your end-to-end fulfilment without leaving the platform.

We’ve added support for page numbers and item prices in our custom packing summaries, helping you produce clearer, more informative picking slips—especially useful for large or high-value orders.

You can now include product SKUs on Allied Express labels, making it easier to scan, sort and identify items during fulfilment and delivery.

There’s a new setting that lets you use the Their Ref field as the barcode on packing slips, without changing your existing setup. This is ideal for teams that rely on custom references to match orders in their internal systems.

We’ve added a new button to the Quick Print page in Classic UI that appears when an order errors. You can now jump straight into the order to fix the issue, keeping things moving without leaving your workflow.

We’ve expanded Starshipit’s Recommended Packaging feature to work at checkout, helping you improve shipping accuracy, reduce costs, and provide better rates to your customers.

Previously, this feature only worked when orders were imported—but now, Starshipit can automatically determine the best packaging in real-time during checkout, ensuring live rates are as accurate as possible. For more details, check out our support article.

✅ Smarter package selection at checkout – Starshipit now assigns items to the most efficient packaging before rates are calculated, ensuring you don’t overpay or undercharge for shipping.

✅ Uses product dimensions from Product Catalogue at checkout. Starshipit matches SKUs with the Product Catalogue to retrieve item dimensions.

✅ Optimized for cost-saving – Our packing algorithm minimizes the number of packages while ensuring everything fits, selecting the most space-efficient packaging option.

✅ Live rate accuracy – The final package dimensions are sent to the courier, so the rate shown to customers at checkout is as close as possible to the actual shipping cost.

To start using Recommended Packaging at checkout:

1️⃣ Ensure your Product Catalogue is set up with product dimensions.

2️⃣ Set up your available packaging under Settings > Packaging.

3️⃣ Enable Recommended Packaging in Settings > Checkout Rates.

You can now limit checkout rates to a single package (22kg domestic, 20kg international). By default, eParcel splits larger orders into multiple packages and combines rates (e.g., a 25kg order becomes one 22kg package and one 3kg package). Enabling this setting prevents rate calculation for orders exceeding the single-package limit.

We've added an option to map Address Line 2 to the Building field in 3PL Central, providing more flexibility in how address data is handled. To enable this, navigate to Settings > Integrations > 3PL central and tick Map Address Line 2 to the Building field
