You can assign a batch for delivery on the Assign screen.
Here's how:
On the Assign screen, select the order(s) you want to batch — one, or as many as you like — using the checkboxes.
In the bar at the bottom, click Batch & assign.
A window opens to choose where to send the batch. Pick your preferred 3PL, carrier, or delivery service (any service configured for your account).
The batch details window opens, where you can review and fine-tune the batch before assigning. What you can adjust depends on the delivery service you chose:
For a carrier (rate-shopped batch):
Choose between Recommended, Cheapest, and Quickest. The Recommended tab shows the lowest rates that'll still arrive before each order's delivery promise time (when possible).
Change the carrier / delivery service.
Change the service level for each order.
Change the pick-up date (note: you may get different rates).
Change the package dimensions.
For a 3PL:
The window is the same, just simpler — there's no Recommended/Cheapest/Quickest comparison or service-level rate shopping.
Set the pick-up date and package dimensions as needed.
In both cases, you can rename the batch under +Add name or keep the auto-generated name. Keep an eye out for any "Heads up" warning — it flags when a rate means orders will arrive late. When you're done, click Assign all and your order will be ready for fulfillment.
Batch with carrier:
Batch with 3PL:
The batch continues processing — you'll see it as a progress bar in the top-left ("Preparing batches…").
When it's done, a green popup appears confirming your orders were successfully batched and sent to the carrier. Shipping labels are generated as part of this process. Your orders are now batched and have moved to the Fulfill screen for processing.
That's it!
