00:00:13:20 - 00:00:14:00
In this

00:00:14:00 - 00:00:17:13
tutorial we learn how
to configure Easyposts and the Easypost

00:00:17:13 - 00:00:21:21
plugin within Infigo
to automatically place a shipment order.

00:00:22:07 - 00:00:24:27
And this is when a customer completes
the checkout process

00:00:24:27 - 00:00:28:10
on one of your storefronts.

00:00:28:20 - 00:00:30:13
So a use case for this.

00:00:30:13 - 00:00:32:29
So we use case for automatic shipment
orders.

00:00:33:20 - 00:00:38:10
Let's say an online store that ships
a large number of identical items

00:00:39:00 - 00:00:41:24
can use an instant label purchase system

00:00:41:24 - 00:00:45:03
for fast and efficient shipping.

00:00:45:03 - 00:00:48:21
As the items are predictable in size
and weights, the label can be generated

00:00:48:21 - 00:00:52:05
automatically without the need
for a human eye to verify it.

00:00:52:28 - 00:00:56:14
This system is particularly useful
when there are no customs involved

00:00:56:21 - 00:01:00:10
or the courier is not overly strict
around the accuracy of the label.

00:01:01:07 - 00:01:03:27
Additionally,
if production offsets are used,

00:01:04:03 - 00:01:07:25
the label can be generated immediately
for the correct shipment date.

00:01:07:28 - 00:01:12:13
Streamlining
the shipment process even further.

00:01:15:01 - 00:01:17:06
So the first thing we need to do to set up

00:01:17:06 - 00:01:21:05
this process is to enable
the buy shipping instantly option.

00:01:21:16 - 00:01:24:20
So this is within our Easypost
configuration settings.

00:01:25:03 - 00:01:27:08
Down to the general section.

00:01:27:08 - 00:01:29:13
And then by shipping instantly.

00:01:29:13 - 00:01:31:26
And then make sure you save that
to confirm the settings.

00:01:37:12 - 00:01:39:13
So when enabled,

00:01:39:22 - 00:01:41:18
this option will send

00:01:41:18 - 00:01:44:25
a request to Easypost
as soon as an order is placed.

00:01:45:07 - 00:01:47:27
This means that you won't have to trigger
the shipment manually,

00:01:48:07 - 00:01:52:08
but you will also not necessarily
be able to control on an order

00:01:52:08 - 00:01:56:01
by order basis things such as the parcels
and the sizes

00:01:56:01 - 00:01:57:02
that are sent.

00:01:57:18 - 00:02:00:12
Just a quick note
on some associated settings here.

00:02:00:14 - 00:02:03:12
If I scroll all the way down
to the parcel section

00:02:03:12 - 00:02:05:09
on the same screen

00:02:06:08 - 00:02:07:11
when by shipping

00:02:07:11 - 00:02:11:11
instantly is set to true,
we will request a shipping label

00:02:11:11 - 00:02:14:29
for every predefined parcel size
that you have figured.

00:02:15:21 - 00:02:18:26
If you also have your parcel allocation
level set to order

00:02:18:26 - 00:02:21:26
line or order and quantity,
then your predefined

00:02:21:26 - 00:02:24:27
parcels will be requested
for each of those as well.

00:02:25:27 - 00:02:29:10
And we go into the parcel settings
in a bit more detail,

00:02:29:18 - 00:02:32:12
in a different tutorial video.

00:02:36:10 - 00:02:39:06
Next, we'll go ahead and place
an order on our storefront.

00:02:39:12 - 00:02:42:14
Selecting a carrier
which provides rates via Easypost.

00:02:45:01 - 00:02:47:13
So with this order
now placed, we're going to verify

00:02:47:13 - 00:02:51:00
that the shipment order has been placed
within our Easypost account

00:02:51:19 - 00:02:53:23
from within Easypost, click on shipments.

00:02:54:07 - 00:02:56:25
Make sure you've got
the correct environment selected.

00:02:56:26 - 00:02:59:07
So at the moment,
by using our test environment

00:02:59:21 - 00:03:02:06
and this is where it shows
you all the orders that have come through

00:03:05:23 - 00:03:06:20
our latest

00:03:06:20 - 00:03:09:26
shipment order can be seen
with an Easypost and we can click

00:03:09:26 - 00:03:19:21
the details tab on the right hand side
to access some additional information.

00:03:20:08 - 00:03:23:19
So this includes details on the order,
origin and destination,

00:03:23:27 - 00:03:27:06
as well as tracking information, access
to the shipping label

00:03:27:15 - 00:03:35:09
and a receipt.

00:03:36:28 - 00:03:37:22
Next, we'll take a

00:03:37:22 - 00:03:41:23
look in our shared print operations
area with it Infigo to verify

00:03:41:23 - 00:03:47:01
that the information from Easypost
has been passed back to our Infigo system.

00:03:47:25 - 00:03:48:08
So here's

00:03:48:08 - 00:03:51:12
the latest order
that we've just put through.

00:03:51:12 - 00:03:55:06
If I expand those order details
and go down to the shipping information,

00:03:55:17 - 00:03:59:15
we can see that all that information
has already been populated for us,

00:03:59:23 - 00:04:03:05
which shows
that it's been fed back from Easypost.

00:04:05:27 - 00:04:06:28
Tracking information

00:04:06:28 - 00:04:12:02
can also be directly accessed
from this location,

00:04:12:22 - 00:04:15:28
and we can click the view button
in the shipping information section

00:04:17:03 - 00:04:19:01
to get additional information

00:04:19:01 - 00:04:21:20
on that shipping order.

00:04:21:24 - 00:04:25:25
This shows additional commands
such as allowing you to download and view

00:04:25:25 - 00:04:30:29
different elements of that shipment order,
such as recreating the shipping label.

00:04:31:13 - 00:04:33:02
We can view the postage label,

00:04:34:18 - 00:04:36:12
packaging, slip

00:04:36:14 - 00:04:39:11
information for the job and tracker
URLs.

00:04:40:16 - 00:04:42:27
All this is accessible from within Infigo,

00:04:43:05 - 00:04:48:04
but it's information
provided via Easypost.
