With the ShippyPro connector you can connect iPacky and ShippyPro directly. This means that you don’t need to go into another app to create the shipping labels but can get it directly after checking the order.
.When the order check in iPacky is complete, the shipping label will be printed instantly on your printer via the PrintNode connector.

- Shopify’s shipment texts will show a list of delivery types. These are all the available shipping rate texts in the Shopify admin. By selecting a text here and clicking on the Copy to clipboard, you can paste this text into the Shipment text. That way, you will be sure not to make spelling mistakes. There might be texts that are not listed here, such as pickup at a store. The text for that will be different for each store. This text can be found on the order.

Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Shipment text | The shipment delivery text selected at checkout on the order. The match must be exact and is case sensitive. Wildcards are not supported. A * (by itself) means that this rule will be applied when no match is found in the other rules. If this is not specified no rule processing will be performed if a matching rule is not found. |
Carrier | Which carrier to use. The carriers available are the ones set up in your ShippyPro portal. |
Insurance | If shipping insurance is being used. |
The rules are used as a default for the shipping dialog when the order check is complete, and can be overridden there.
Also remember to fill out the Sender address tab.
Save the changes.
In order for this shipping connector to be used, you also have to set the Fulfillment rules.
Please note that first the Fulfillment rules are matched, and then the ShippyPro rules. If there is no match on Fulfillment rules where the Label drop-down should be set to ShippyPro, it will not reach the ShippyPro shipping rules match and ShippyPro will not be used.
At the end of an order check (and if ShippyPro based on rules is selected as the handler), a dialog like this will appear:
Here you can select the dimension and weight of the shipment. The Box drop-down shows the boxes defined in Dashboard→Tools→Boxes.
The Shipment note is used to write a note to the carrier. This might not be visible with all carriers.
Parcels can be added by selecting Add parcel. Delete it again by using the trash can icon. Please note that the carrier/service you have selected might not support multiple parcel shipments.
By default, it will use the shipping rules set up in the iPacky ShippyPro setup, and it shows the available shipping methods and their price.
If you make changes to any dimensions or properties, click on the Get rates button to get updated available shipping methods since they might have changed.
Select the shipping method you want to use, and click on Print.
The shipping label will be printed.
If any errors during shipping label generation, they will be shown here.
If for example message about address validation error, you can click Cancel, edit the shipping address on the iPacky order check screen. And then Retry shipping label from the Actions drop-down.
Troubleshooting
- Check that the API key is correct. If it works once, it should work forever, unless you change the API key in ShippyPro portal.
- If the label is not printed, check that PrintNode is up and working and that the printer is turned on. Also check the print queue in View PrintNode jobs.
