Shipping Cost for Shipments

Overview

A Shipping Amount can be set on individual Shipments to track how much each individual Shipment cost to ship. This value can be displayed on the Shipment Grid, and will be exported in Shipment Exports.

You can use the Shipment Import to set this value when creating a Shipment.
If you are Invoicing your Order through the Shipment import, the Shipping Amount will be set on the Invoice.
An Invoice Automation Rule can be configured to set the Invoice Shipping Amount from the Shipment.

🚧
The Shipping Amount on an Invoice will not be automatically set on the Shipments unless you are using Invoice & Ship, the Shipment Import, or an Invoicing Automation Rule configured to do so.

When using Invoice & Ship to simultaneously Invoice and Ship the Order, the resulting Shipment will take the Shipping Amount set on the Invoice as its own cost.

When using an Invoice Automation Rule, the Invoice can choose to include the Order's shipping rate estimate, or the Shipping Cost set on the shipment which caused the rule to run. Learn more here.
