StarShipIT Scan and Pack

StarShipIT offers a scan-and-pack feature. While there’s no specific "barcode" field in their interface, the API requests a SKU for each item.

Our system will now send identifiers in the following order of priority:

• Manufacturer SKU code (if available)
• Supplier code
• Product code
• System PID

This approach assumes that the manufacturer code is the barcode, as it’s typically the code printed on the manufactured item.

Types of Integrations

1. Courier Fulfilment Integration

This setup simply allows order details (such as the shipping address) to automatically flow from your CMS to your courier, saving you from manually entering customer information into your courier dashboard.

10. Save, Publish.

11. In your StarShipIT portal,  

• go to Settings > Tracking & notifications.

This step is required if the user wants shipping status updated in our application. The user also has the option to use the Starshipit notifications instead.

2. Live Pricing
