Set up a Shipping Option
Maropost Commerce shipping is split up into two sections, the Shipping Option and the Carrier Account (Label Configuration):
- The Shipping Option includes the shipping different methods that display when the customer places an order and the rates charged to the customer for shipping.
- The Carrier Account is the settings to submit the consignment details to the carrier.
You can also set up the Shipping Options yourself using our shipping set up wizard. In your Maropost Commerce control panel, select Shipping > Shipping Options.

The buttons will display for orders with the status of Pack or Dispatched.

Label Printers
A dedicated thermal printer for your shipping labels will save you a lot of money in the long run. Thermal printers don't use toner or ink, and there's less wastage compared to printing 4 labels on an A4 page. You also have a lot of flexibility with the brand of label printer.
