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.
Pro Pirate Tip: Need to buy a big batch of labels? Connect your bank account to make ACH payments! Unlike credit or debit cards, ACH payments have no transaction limits as long as the funds are available. That's why we recommend connecting your bank account to buy labels... especially big batches 😉
