Dispatched using barcode and click and drop

Currently, we use a barcode printed on an integrated label that's printed on the invoice with the address, So the label has the address and the barcode at the bottom of the label, which we have used for a number of years and works well when marking orders as dispatched, we scan the parcel and it ticks it off on PPV3.

The problem now is that we are moving over to click and drop which print out there own labels etc. So how does anyone else get around this issue when dispatching orders from click and drop.?

At the minute we still our original address label on the parcel and then stick the click and drop label on top just leave the barcode sticking out.

Thanks
In advance

Re: Dispatched using barcode and click and drop

Thanks for the post.

After importing your shipments from Packing Partner into C&D:

You can either then immediately generate all labels in the batch, for printing either on an integrated label or on thermal from within PP, or you can leave them pending on Click and Drop and request labels on demand using the scan-and-print feature.

In either case of the above, you can usually still fit a barcode on your peel off which you can use for despatching orders, eg. Marking Shipped, within PP.

It's important to note that you should be importing your shipments into Click and Drop from Packing Partner.

The general flow is as follows:

1. Use shipping rules / amend carrier to set C&D as the carrier for your orders
2. Go to the Click and Drop website inside Packing Partner's browser
3. Import shipments
4. Generate labels*
5. Labels are now inside Packing Partner with your sale records and tracking numbers.

Some relevant help topics:

Click and Drop: http://www.aimcosoftware.co.uk/v34Help/ … ndrop.html

*Note: If preferred, you can stop after step 3 above, and then use the scan-and-print function on Click and Drop when you have packed an item. This produces the corresponding label on demand and automatically prints to attached thermal printer. You can then over-label your smaller label if you wish.
