You can now use tote picking in the Starshipit mobile app to keep your warehouse workflow tidy, accurate, and way less chaotic.
Why it’s great:
  • Scan a tote at the start of picking, and everything you scan goes into that tote — no second-guessing what belongs to what
  • Handoff between pickers and packers becomes effortless (totes do the talking)
  • Fewer mistakes, fewer returns, and less back-and-forth with support
Ready to give it a go? Open the mobile app and head to Settings → Tote Settings to get started. Learn more with our support guide.
Here are a few enhancements we've shipped to improve our integrations with your shipping partners to make your setup more flexible, and your shipping experience that little bit easier.
Ship internationally with USPS
You can now process international USPS shipments via EasyPost, extending beyond domestic deliveries. Simply ensure customs details are included when shipping outside the US.
Import barcodes from Cin7 Omni
Product barcodes are now automatically imported from Cin7 Omni using the dedicated API. No manual setup required—barcodes will populate based on the item information.
Parcelpoint Asendia: Support multiple items per shipment
Shipments with Parcelpoint Asendia now support multiple items, passing through all item details during shipment creation to ensure smoother customs clearance.
TGE Priority: Set default pickup package type
A new setting lets you select a default package type for pickup bookings with TGE Priority.
  • Go to Settings > Couriers > TGE Priority > Advanced Settings to select the default under Default pickup package type.
  • Default: Box/Carton (BXCA)
  • Special handling automatically applies for common satchel product codes.
Unleashed Enhanced: Import specific orders
A new tool allows importing specific order numbers from Unleashed, improving control when orders fall outside the auto-import window.
Go to Settings> Integrations > Unleashed > Tools > Import order
UI 2.0 Workflows: Clearer error messaging
Error messages when searching in Workflows now display directly on the page below the search bar, making it easier to identify and resolve issues immediately.

FedEx: Option to disable commercial invoice printing
An optional setting now allows disabling the automatic printing of commercial invoices for international FedEx shipments.
Go to Settings > Couriers > FedEx > Advanced Settings and untick Print Commercial Invoice.
PBT Transport: Remove maximum weight limit
The 30kg weight limit has been removed for PBT Transport shipments. Weight validation will now follow carrier guidelines, without unnecessary restrictions.
Packing Summary: Add barcode value as text
A new field, %ItemBarcodeTableValue%, is now available for Packing Summaries. This displays the barcode value as text rather than an image.
  • Go to Settings > Packing Slips > Customise > Packing Summary Editor to add the field.
New role type: Broker for Additional Party
A 'Broker' option has been added under shipment roles to accurately capture and transmit customs broker information on commercial invoices.
Go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Additional Party > Role Type to select Broker when required.
Set flat shipping rates instead of margins
A new pricing option allows you to set a fixed flat rate for shipping services, instead of using a $ or % margin.
  • To use it, go to: Settings > Customise Rates > Margin Type & Value > Select "Set Flat Rate"
This will override any rate returned by the courier.
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:
  • Serial number
  • Batch number
  • Expiration Date
  • SSCC
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’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.
āš ļø This feature is currently available for Shopify, with support for more platforms coming soon!
What’s new?
āœ… 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.
āœ… Uses product dimensions from Product Catalogue at checkout. Starshipit matches SKUs with the Product Catalogue to retrieve item dimensions.
āœ… Optimized for cost-saving – Our packing algorithm minimizes the number of packages while ensuring everything fits, selecting the most space-efficient packaging option.
āœ… 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.
How to enable it
To start using Recommended Packaging at checkout:
1ļøāƒ£ Ensure your Product Catalogue is set up with product dimensions.
2ļøāƒ£ Set up your available packaging under Settings > Packaging.
3ļøāƒ£ Enable Recommended Packaging in Settings > Checkout Rates.
Give it a try and let us know what you think! šŸš€
