00:00:13:19 - 00:00:16:05
In this
tutorial, we'll be discussing a setting
00:00:16:05 - 00:00:21:19
which is in the Easypost configuration,
which is called buy shipping instantly.
00:00:22:03 - 00:00:25:15
This setting under the general section
allows you to determine
00:00:25:15 - 00:00:29:26
whether Infigo sends a request to Easypost
as soon as an order is placed.
00:00:31:16 - 00:00:34:03
So when this is enabled
00:00:34:03 - 00:00:37:20
and then you save your Easypost settings,
00:00:38:10 - 00:00:42:05
this will send a request to Easypost
as soon as an order is placed.
00:00:42:16 - 00:00:46:07
So this means that you won't have
to trigger the shipment manually,
00:00:46:26 - 00:00:51:01
but you will also not necessarily
be able to control on an order
00:00:51:01 - 00:00:54:18
by order basis the parcels and sizes
that are sent with it.
00:00:55:18 - 00:00:59:14
When you have auto parcel size
calculations sets to true
00:00:59:14 - 00:01:07:19
and will cover that option
in a future tutorial,
00:01:07:19 - 00:01:10:29
we will send all of the calculated parcels
in the request.
00:01:11:17 - 00:01:14:26
When you have auto parcel size
calculation set to false
00:01:15:03 - 00:01:18:18
will send all of your predefined
parcel sizes in the request.
00:01:19:06 - 00:01:21:25
And just as a side note
on where those settings are found,
00:01:21:26 - 00:01:25:06
we scroll down in your Easypost
configuration settings.
00:01:25:20 - 00:01:28:15
You have a parcels section which again
00:01:28:15 - 00:01:31:28
will be covered in a different tutorial.
00:01:37:05 - 00:01:38:03
Now, to test both
00:01:38:03 - 00:01:42:02
scenarios of this
being enabled and disabled,
00:01:42:02 - 00:01:48:18
I've prior to recording this tutorial,
I've sent through a couple of test orders
00:01:48:18 - 00:01:53:16
on our storefront, one Buy Shipping Instantly enabled and one with a disabled.
00:01:53:28 - 00:01:56:16
And we'll take a look at that
in shared print operations
00:01:56:16 - 00:02:00:01
to see what the difference is.
00:02:01:01 - 00:02:04:01
So when Buy Shipping Instantly is enabled,
00:02:04:22 - 00:02:07:26
once we place the order
through the storefront, this bottom entry
00:02:07:27 - 00:02:11:07
here, which is appeared
in blue, is what we'll be able to see.
00:02:11:22 - 00:02:16:04
So the job is automatically set
to shipment created with the relevant data
00:02:16:04 - 00:02:21:27
from Easypost, automatically populated
as a part of the order.
00:02:22:16 - 00:02:25:19
So if I expand that particular order
and we'll take a bit of a closer
00:02:25:19 - 00:02:28:29
look at it,
I scroll down to the shipping information.
00:02:28:29 - 00:02:31:02
You can see
I've got all of that information
00:02:31:02 - 00:02:34:20
populated along with things
such as the tracking number.
00:02:36:19 - 00:02:38:03
If I click on View,
00:02:38:03 - 00:02:41:18
that will take me
to some additional information.
00:02:42:00 - 00:02:45:09
In this section
you have actions such as the ability
00:02:45:09 - 00:02:48:14
to recreate the label
or the packaging slip
00:02:48:25 - 00:02:53:25
along with viewing the postage, labels
and getting access to the tracking URLs.
00:02:54:23 - 00:02:59:21
However, there's no further changes
that can be made in here.
00:03:03:06 - 00:03:05:15
So next, let's
see how the workflow changes
00:03:05:15 - 00:03:12:29
when Buy Shipping Instantly is disabled.
00:03:12:29 - 00:03:16:09
And that can be seen with either of these
other two orders we've got here.
00:03:16:22 - 00:03:17:27
So when disabled
00:03:17:27 - 00:03:22:02
we will not send the request to Easypost
to create shipping labels automatically.
00:03:22:14 - 00:03:25:06
Instead, if you navigate
to the shared print operations
00:03:25:06 - 00:03:27:19
in admin and locate the job and expand it
00:03:28:23 - 00:03:30:01
like so
00:03:30:26 - 00:03:34:02
that you'll see a link under the shipping
information, which is again
00:03:35:05 - 00:03:37:24
the view icon
00:03:37:28 - 00:03:40:27
and this time it will take you
to a slightly different configuration
00:03:40:27 - 00:03:43:24
of options.
00:03:47:25 - 00:03:51:07
So what we're looking at here
is more of a manual shipment management
00:03:51:07 - 00:03:55:12
rather than the automatic approach
taken by the is Buy Instantly setting.
00:03:56:02 - 00:03:59:03
So it displays the carrier and the service
the customer selected
00:03:59:03 - 00:04:00:24
during the checkout process.
00:04:00:24 - 00:04:05:17
It also lets you define the parcels that
you want to send as part of the shipment.
00:04:06:02 - 00:04:10:21
So again, these predefined parcels,
if you do want to have predefined parcels,
00:04:11:00 - 00:04:14:17
is covered in a different tutorial.
00:04:14:17 - 00:04:19:19
Once you've created your parcel sizes or
selected from your predefined parcel list,
00:04:20:24 - 00:04:23:28
you can create the shipment
which at this stage will
00:04:23:28 - 00:04:29:12
then send the request to Easypost
and return the shipping labels.
00:04:32:15 - 00:04:35:17
So just as an additional note here,
for international shipments
00:04:35:17 - 00:04:39:06
that require customs information
to be sent with the shipment,
00:04:39:06 - 00:04:43:14
you must assign items from the order
specifically into the parcels.
00:04:44:06 - 00:04:48:00
So to do this, you click on the add
shipment information button
00:04:48:16 - 00:04:51:08
and then drag each of the order items
00:04:51:08 - 00:04:56:03
into the respective parcels
that you have created.
00:05:00:28 - 00:05:03:21
We also do not support Buy Shipping Instantly
00:05:03:21 - 00:05:07:15
for international shipments
due to the customs related information.
00:05:07:24 - 00:05:15:17
These must be triggered
and handled manually.
