How it works?

01

Compare shipping rates

When orders are ready to ship, the integration retrieves rates from multiple carriers through ShipEngine, compares costs and delivery times, and selects the most economical option based on your preferences.

02

Generate shipping labels

As orders are processed, the system creates shipping labels through ShipEngine with correct addresses and package dimensions, then stores the labels and sends them to your warehouse for printing.

03

Validate shipping addresses

Before creating shipments, the integration validates customer addresses using ShipEngine's verification service, corrects formatting issues, and flags invalid addresses for customer contact before processing.

04

Track package deliveries

After labels are generated, the system monitors tracking information through ShipEngine, sends status updates to customers at key milestones, and alerts support teams when delivery exceptions occur.

05

Calculate customs documentation

For international shipments, the integration generates customs forms with product details and values, creates commercial invoices, and ensures all required documentation is included with the shipment.

06

Process shipping insurance

Based on order value, the system adds shipping insurance through ShipEngine, calculates premiums, includes insurance in total shipping costs, and documents coverage for high-value shipments.

07

Update inventory systems

When shipping labels are created, the integration updates inventory counts, records package weights and dimensions, and synchronizes shipping details across your warehouse management and accounting systems.

08

Handle return shipments

When return requests are received, the system generates return labels through ShipEngine, emails them to customers with instructions, and creates tracking entries to monitor returned packages.

Configure

Connect your ShipEngine account to CodeWords to access shipping rates, generate labels, and track packages across multiple carriers through automated workflows.
