Automatically create and print shipping labels
Creating and printing shipping labels is tedious and takes up time you should be spending on your online business. With Billbee, you can automate both starting today.
How can I automatically create and print my shipping labels with Billbee?
1. Connect sales channels and shipping providers
If you are just getting started with Billbee, first connect your sales channels and shipping providers. Thanks to our pre-built integrations, this only takes a few minutes.
2. Create a rule for generating shipping labels
Next, set up a rule so that your shipping labels are created automatically. The rule determines when an order is shipped and, consequently, when the shipping label should be generated.
3. Print shipping labels automatically
If you also want to print your shipping labels automatically, you will need cloud printing. This is simply a technology that sends a print job to the cloud, from where it is automatically forwarded to your printer.
To use cloud printing in Billbee, the best approach is to connect comrce cloudprinting (formerly Druckerwolke). This is a cloud printing service that, like Billbee, is part of the comrce software hub and is free for you as a Billbee user is.
Add comrce cloudprint as a printer and configure it in your shipping settings. This allows you to print shipping labels (and other documents, such as invoices) automatically and directly.
