How does it work?

Imagine a customer orders three items, each needing a separate box. With Ordoro, you can add these packages at once, adjust their dimensions, and generate unique labels for each package. Each package gets its own tracking number, all tied to a master tracking number that is saved in Ordoro and synced with your sales channels.

Follow these steps to create a Multi-Package shipment:

  1. Select an order.
  2. Choose UPS or FedEx and the package type.
