Generate Shipping Labels

This guide assumes your dispensary is already integrated with your GoShippo account. If shipping has not been configured, complete your shipping setup first under Admin > Settings > Shipping.

You may generate shipping labels either directly from Dispensary Tree or from the GoShippo website.


Generating a Shipping Label from Dispensary Tree

Step 1: Open the Order

  1. Go to Admin > Orders

  2. Open the order you want to ship by clicking the Invoice Number

  3. Navigate to the Details tab

  4. Locate the section labeled Shipping Label Options


Step 2: Create Shipping Label

Click Create Shipping Label.

You will be shown:

  • Sender Address – Pulled from Admin > Settings > Account

  • Recipient Address – Based on the order shipping details

The system verifies both addresses before proceeding.

Important Notes

  • You may edit the addresses on this screen

  • Address changes are saved as new addresses

  • Only postal/ZIP code corrections update the existing address

  • Invalid addresses must be corrected before rates will generate

Click Save and Continue when the addresses are valid.


Step 3: Select Shipping Details

Shipping fields are auto-populated based on the order, but you may adjust:

  • Shipping carrier

  • Shipping service

  • Box size

  • Shipment weight

Only box sizes already created in the system are available.
To add a new box:

  • Click Add New Box, or

  • Go to Admin > Settings > Shipping > Box Sizes

Optional services such as insurance or signature confirmation may be added. Rates update in real time based on your selections.

Click Proceed and Create Label to generate the label.

The label opens in a new browser tab. If it does not appear, check your browser’s pop-up settings.


Tracking Information

Once the label is created:

  • Tracking information is saved to the order

  • Tracking appears in the practitioner’s order history

  • Tracking appears in the patient’s account (if applicable)

  • A shipping confirmation email is sent if an email address exists

Email content can be customized under:
Admin > Settings > Notifications


Creating a Shipping Manifest

Some carriers require a manifest, which summarizes all shipments created for a specific day.

To create a manifest:

  1. Go to Admin > Orders

  2. Select Create Manifest

  3. Choose a Submission Date

  4. Select a Shipping Carrier

  5. Click Create Manifest

The manifest appears in Manifest History, where it can be viewed or printed.

If you are unsure whether your carrier requires a manifest, contact the carrier directly.


Shipment List

In the Orders section, click Shipments to view:

  • All created shipments

  • Shipment statuses

  • Delivery progress

This provides a quick overview of outbound shipments.


Printing a Shipping Label from GoShippo

If you prefer to generate labels directly in GoShippo:

  1. Log in to your GoShippo account

  2. Go to the Orders tab

  3. Select an order that is not marked as pickup

  4. Complete the shipment details and generate the label

Dispensary Tree automatically sends:

  • Recipient address

  • Ordered items

You may still need to:

  • Enter package weight

  • Select carrier and service

Once the label is created:

  • The shipment appears in GoShippo

  • Tracking information is sent back to Dispensary Tree

  • Tracking is visible to admin, practitioner, and patient (if applicable)


Address Change Note

If an address is changed in Dispensary Tree after an order has been sent to GoShippo:

  • A new order is created in GoShippo

  • A note is added to the order in Dispensary Tree

  • The original GoShippo order is not updated


Summary

Dispensary Tree offers full shipping label management with real-time carrier rates, address validation, tracking synchronization, and optional manifest creation. Labels can be generated either within the dispensary system or directly through GoShippo, with tracking automatically synced back to all relevant users.
