Write packaging type back to Shopify on dispatch
V
Vervain Stoat
Currently, StarShipIt writes back the order status, tracking number, carrier name, and fulfilment location to Shopify when a label is generated, but the packaging type used for the order is not included in this writeback.
We would like the option for StarShipIt to write the packaging name back to Shopify as an order note attribute (or similar field) at the time of dispatch.
Use case: We need to track how many of each packaging type (boxes, satchels, mailers, etc.) we are consuming across our orders to manage consumables stock. While this data exists within StarShipIt's reporting, having it written back to Shopify would allow us to consolidate reporting and make it accessible alongside other order data without needing to export from multiple platforms.
Ideal implementation:
- A toggle in Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings to enable packaging writeback
- The packaging name written to a Shopify order note attribute (e.g. "Packaging: Large Box") or as an order tag
