Automatically generating shipments

You can enable a setting to automatically retrieve the courier shipment for an order without having to click Create Shipment on the Scan Actions page. For more information, please review our Auto Request Courier Label help guide.


Platform availability

The Scan Actions page is only available on the web-based version of Mintsoft. It's not available on the Mobile App.


Printing shipping labels

Shipping labels are generated one per parcel. The number of shipping labels printed depends on the number of parcels on the order.
