Easy Ship Setup

The Easy Ship tools should be included with your site setup. There are a few setup tasks that must be completed before you can start generating your shipping labels:

Step 1. Connect your Canada Post account to WineDirect.

Step 2. Ensure that all products have weights assigned to them to calculate rates accurately. These can be added manually per product or using mass export/import tools.

Step 3. Navigate to Settings > Misc > Pickup Locations and mark the pickup location where Canada Post will pick up the package as Is Default Fulfillment Location. For complete setup instructions, please see the Pickup Locations Documentation >

Step 4. Navigate to Settings > Misc > Package Types to create the different packaging options for boxing various wine orders (i.e., 3-bottle, 6-bottle, 12-bottle packaging). For complete setup instructions, please see the Package Types Documentation >

Step 5. Update your shipping types by going to Store > Shipping > Choose your shipping strategy > Manager Shipping Types, then change the code field to be the corresponding shipping Canada Post type codes from Easy Ship Codes here >
