With the Webshipper connector, you can get the Webshipper barcode printed on the bottom of picking lists and packing slips. This means that you can scan this barcode in the Webshipper autoscan to get the shipping label printed.
Or even better and easier, by selecting Webshipper in Fulfillment rules you can have the shipping label printed automatically after order check. This will mean that you don’t need a separate scanner just to scan the Webshipper barcode, and you don’t need to install Silent printer. Much more efficient and easy.
For automatic print of shipping label without scanning the barcode, you need PrintNode installed.
In order to use this connector, you need to have a working Webshipper Pro plan or higher subscription. The is because the Webshipper Essentials plan does not support API calls. In that case, contact iPacky.
First, you must add the Webshipper connector in Connectors→Manage. After that, the Webshipper connector will appear when you expand the Connectors, and you can select it.

Integration type: Direct
If setting the Integration type to Direct, you will have complete control over the fulfillment process. In order for this to work you must have PrintNode installed, and set the Fulfillment rules.
You can do partial fulfillment by checking the items you want to send, and click Partial fulfill in the Actions menu in the order check screen.
If you have selected not to show the print dialog, iPacky will send the data to Webshipper and Webshipper decides what carrier/service to use based on the rules set up in Webshipper. For many, this will be enough.
The iPacky Webshipper print dialog can be shown by either selecting Show shipping dialog in the settings here, or by selecting this in the Actions menu when checking the order.
The dialog can look like this:
A picking list with the Webshipper barcode can look like this:
Here you can select the dimension and weight of the shipment. The Box drop-down show the boxes defined in Dashboard→Tools→Boxes.
The Shipment note is used to write a note to the carrier. This might be visible with all carriers.
By clicking on Get rates, it will show the available carriers/services and the price.
You can also select some properties of the shipment depending on the carrier/service.
If the carrier/service supports drop point, you can also change this here.
By clicking on Print, the shipping label will be produced.
If iPacky is set up to use Shopify locations, you will also have some drop-downs where you can select the sender address for each location. These sender addresses must be defined in Webshipper.
Note
If the shipping address is changed, and using drop point, it’s highly recommended to go into this dialog to select the correct drop point. Otherwise, Webshipper might select another drop point automatically.
The barcode on the top is the Shopify order number, and the barcode on the bottom is the Webshipper barcode for scan and print.
