The [**Product Exporter/Importer** tools](/docs/product-importer) can update your products using a mass import. You can create shipping labels for your UPS labels from within the WineDirect platform using Easy Ship tools. --- ## [](https://documentation.vin65.com/Store/Orders/Order-Actions/Generate-Shipping-Labels)Generating Shipping Labels **IMPORTANT NOTE:** Our system cannot pull Contracted Rates into the shipping label you may have with UPS. However, UPS will only charge your Contracted Rate regardless of what prints on our labels. UPS shipping labels can be generated for single orders or multiple orders**.** ### [](https://documentation.vin65.com/Store/Orders/Order-Actions/Generate-Shipping-Labels)Generating Labels - Single Order 1. Navigate to **Store > Orders** and select the order to generate labels. 2. From the **Actions** menu in the top right of the order window, select **Generate Shipping Label(s).** **![](https://documentation.vin65.com/assets/client/Image/Store/Orders/Shipping-Labels/Order-Generate-Labels.jpg)** 3. Enter the day you will ship the order under **Ship Date.** 4. Using the **Items in Order** as a guide, select the number of packages [boxes] required to fulfill the order(s) you selected. You can add or remove packages to split up or combine the items to create the fewest packages possible for the items ordered. By default, the largest packaging option will be selected. For example, if a customer ordered ten bottles, the 12 bottles packaging you set up would automatically be selected. ![](https://documentation.vin65.com/assets/client/Image/Store/Orders/Shipping-Labels/Generate-Labels-Packages.jpg) 5. Click **Apply Changes.** 6. Next, a progress bar will run as the labels are generated. Once complete, a PDF of all the labels will automatically download (check your downloads folder for your computer or browser). 7. From the printer window, select your label printer to print off your labels. Alternatively, standard 8 1/2" X 11" standard label(s) can be printed using the same PDF and then taped to the package(s) if a standard printer is selected. ![](https://documentation.vin65.com/assets/client/Image/Store/Orders/Shipping-Labels/Printer-Print-Label.jpg) **Why can't I generate shipping labels for my order? The message says, "Error - Missing or invalid shipper number."** A missing or invalid shipper number means the order does not have a **Shipping Type Code** used by Easy Ship (e.g., UPS, UP2, UPAS, UPSNS). The order must be canceled and duplicated, and the correct shipping type must be selected on the new order. Alternatively, use the edit order tool to reselect the shipping type on the existing order and reprocess it. Both scenarios will refund the full purchase amount and recharge the customer. ### [](https://documentation.vin65.com/Store/Orders/Order-Actions/Generate-Shipping-Labels)Generating (or Reprinting) Labels - Mass Orders 1.

Navigate to **Store > Orders** and select the order to reprint labels. 2. Select **Reprint Shipping Label(s) from the Actions menu.** ![](https://documentation.vin65.com/assets/client/Image/Store/Orders/Shipping-Labels/Reprint-Shipping-Labels.jpg) 3.

You can also batch reprint labels; see the mass generate label tool for more info. --- ## [](https://documentation.vin65.com/Store/Orders/Order-Actions/Generate-Shipping-Labels)Voiding Shipping Labels The **Void Shipping Labels** option will only appear on orders with labels generated. 1. Navigate to **Store > Orders** and select the order you wish to void labels. 2. Select **Void Shipping Label(s) from the Actions menu.** ![](https://documentation.vin65.com/assets/client/Image/Store/Orders/Shipping-Labels/Void-Shipping-Labels.jpg) 3. A successful void message of **"shipment [tracking number] has successfully been voided"** will appear at the top of the order window. Voiding a label does not change the shipping status so that it will stay as 'pending carrier pickup.' You can generate a new shipping label for that order or mass-create labels for orders. If you want to change the shipping status, you can do that through the order actions tools on the order list screen.
