We Built Pirate Ship for Batch Shipping: Pirate Ship was originally built for batch shipping identical packages! For example, if you're shipping 100 of the same size packages, that's super easy with Pirate Ship.
What if I need to buy batches for packages that aren't all the same?
Sending Batches of Different Boxes: In a lot of cases, you may want to ship 100 packages that are all totally different 😅 Here's what you can do to make that happen:
There are 2 ways to create a batch of labels:
Upload a Spreadsheet: You can upload any type of spreadsheet, and that sheet can include columns for Weight and Dimensions, so you can buy a mixed batch of labels as long as they're all the same package type.
Integrate Your eCommerce Platform: You can connect your eCommerce platform, which allows you to see all your unshipped orders, filter for identical orders, and buy a batch of labels for them.
Some other strategies...
You Can't Batch Single Labels: If you're using the Ship / Create a Single Label form to buy labels one by one, there's currently no way to "batch" them 😅 We know it's not ideal...but in the meantime, here are a couple of ways to make your life easier:
1. Set a Default Payment Amount: When you set a higher Default Payment Amount, you can load up your account with credit instead of paying one by one.
2. Print Multiple Labels at Once: You can print multiple labels at the same time from the Ship page after you've bought them.
