Shipping Label Printing on Shopify – Shopify Ship, Rate, and Track for FedEx FAQs

Can I connect a thermal printer using ZPL directly to the PluginHive app for label printing?

No, direct connection of a thermal printer using ZPL to the PluginHive app is not necessary or supported. The app uses PDF as the default label format in its new UI. You can print labels generated as PDFs using any printer that supports PDF printing. The system’s print preview lets you select your printer and adjust settings before printing. This eliminates the need to add your thermal printer to the app specifically.

Can I generate and print multiple shipping labels at once with PluginHive, or do I have to print each label individually?

Select the unfulfilled orders for which you want to generate shipping labels. 3. Click on the "More Actions" dropdown and choose "Auto Generate Label" to create labels for all selected orders simultaneously. 4. After labels are generated, select the relevant orders again. 5.

Can I prevent an order from being automatically fulfilled in Shopify after printing a shipping label using PluginHive?

No, it is not possible to stop the automatic fulfillment process once a shipping label is generated through PluginHive. By design, when a label is created, the app automatically marks the order as fulfilled in Shopify, and this behavior cannot be bypassed or disabled within the app.

Can I print FedEx shipping labels in advance with a future ship date in the PluginHive app, similar to how it works with USPS in Shopify?

Yes, PluginHive allows you to generate FedEx shipping labels with a future shipping date. To do this: 1. Go to the specific Shopify order in your store. 2. Click on "More Actions" and select "Generate Label." 3. In the label generation page, locate the field labeled "Ship After These Many Days." 4. Enter the number of days (up to 7) for which you want to delay the shipment date. 5. Generate the shipping label. This feature lets you print FedEx labels today but set shipments to be processed on a future date within a one-week window.

Can I print product details on the shipping label using PluginHive?

It is not possible to print product details directly on FedEx shipping labels because FedEx does not support this feature. Instead, you can print a packing slip that includes product details alongside the shipping label. To do this: 1. Go to the PluginHive App > Settings > Print Settings. 2. Enable the "Packing Slip" option to allow printing of the packing slip along with the shipping label. 3. Customize the packing slip template under App > Settings > Documents/Label Settings > More Settings > Packing Slip Settings. 4. Print the shipping label and packing slip together; they will appear as separate pages but can be printed in a single flow.

Can I print shipping labels using non-primary FedEx accounts in PluginHive? If yes, how?

Yes, you can print shipping labels using any of your connected FedEx accounts, not just the primary one. While generating shipping labels, you have the option to select your preferred FedEx account for the shipment. The process involves: 1. Initiating the label generation for your shipment. 2. Selecting the desired FedEx account from the available connected accounts before confirming the label creation. This flexibility means you do not have to switch your primary account if you want to print labels from other accounts. Support can provide detailed steps or demonstration if needed.

Can I use a scanner to print shipping labels with the PH Ship Rate & Track app for FedEx?

No, printing shipping labels through the PH Ship Rate & Track app for FedEx can only be done by clicking the "Print Document" option within the app. Using a scanner to print labels is not supported. To print your shipping labels, generate the label in the app and then use the Print Document function to physically print the label.

Can I use the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app to print labels with my FedEx account on a Shopify Basic plan without upgrading to Shopify Plus or using real-time rates?

Yes, you can use the PluginHive PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app on your Shopify Basic plan to generate and print shipping labels using your FedEx account. There is no requirement to upgrade to Shopify Plus or any higher Shopify plan. The app supports label generation and printing on Shopify Basic, even if you charge fixed shipping rates instead of using real-time FedEx rates. You can install the app and start with a 14-day free trial to test its functionality. After installation, onboarding support via a Zoom session is available to help you set up the app for your store.

Can PluginHive help set up FedEx shipping with Shopify to apply my FedEx discounts and print shipping labels for shipments outside of Shopify orders?

Yes, PluginHive supports FedEx shipping integration with your Shopify store to automate shipping processes and display your FedEx account discounted rates directly at checkout for customers. Additionally, you can create and print FedEx shipping labels for other business shipments that are not related to Shopify orders using the app’s manual label generation feature. This allows you to generate labels for any shipment by entering the necessary shipping details without needing those orders to come from Shopify.

Can PluginHive Ship Rate & Track for FedEx be used only to display calculated shipping rates without printing labels?

Yes, the PH Ship Rate & Track app for FedEx supports displaying calculated shipping rates at checkout without requiring you to print shipping labels. You can configure the app to show real-time FedEx shipping charges so customers see accurate rates during checkout. Label printing and shipment tracking are optional features you can enable separately based on your operational needs. This setup allows seamless integration with your storefront to calculate and present FedEx shipping costs while continuing to use your existing label printing system, such as Starship.

Can the PluginHive app generate and print the necessary Hazmat shipping documentation like OP 900 and OP 950 for FedEx shipments?

The PluginHive app currently supports generating and printing the Hazmat shipping labels and OP 900 document required for FedEx Hazmat shipments involving Lithium Ion Batteries. However, the OP 950 end of day manifest is not available through the app at this time. You will need to continue managing OP 950 documentation outside the app. The app covers the key shipping label and OP 900 requirements to help streamline your Hazmat order fulfillment process.

Can the scheduling of pickups be automated when printing a shipping label using PluginHive?

No, the scheduling of pickups cannot be automated when printing shipping labels in PluginHive. Pickup requests need to be submitted manually from within the app for each order with a generated label. Automation of this process is currently not supported.

Does the PluginHive app support bulk printing where I can select multiple orders, edit box sizes, and print labels from one screen?

Currently, the PluginHive app does not support selecting multiple orders and manually editing box sizes or labels from a single screen for bulk printing. However, you can use the app’s bulk label generation feature by configuring your app settings to automatically select appropriate boxes and shipping services for your orders, which enables automatic label generation in bulk. If you require a customized automation setup tailored to your specific needs, you can schedule a consultation via a Zoom call with PluginHive support to explore possible configurations.

Does the PluginHive Multi-Carrier Shipping Label app provide any visual or user interface indicators to differentiate order statuses like "Label Created," "Label Printed," and "Fulfilled"?

Yes, the PluginHive Multi-Carrier Shipping Label app enhances your order status workflow by providing an intermediate status of **"Label Created"** immediately after label generation, which indicates the label has been generated but not yet printed or shipped. However, the designation of **"Label Printed"** is tracked by your manual confirmation before you mark the order as **Fulfilled**. The typical UI flow is: – **Label Created:** Appears automatically once labels are generated via the app. – **Pending Printing/Manual Check:** Before fulfillment, you must print the labels and confirm printing. – **Fulfilled:** Manually mark the order as fulfilled after label printing and package dispatch. While the app itself doesn’t add a separate automatic “Label Printed” status, this manual step gives you flexible control to ensure orders are not fulfilled until labels are physically printed. This fulfills the need for an order status progression from label creation through printing to fulfillment. For enhanced visibility, you can monitor these order statuses in your Shopify admin or via the app dashboard.

Has the "Dangerous Site Warning" issue affecting PluginHive label printing been resolved?

Yes, the malware warning issue that caused the "Dangerous Site Warning" in browsers for PluginHive apps has been resolved. The PluginHive apps are now functioning normally, allowing you to generate and print labels without encountering any security warnings or interruptions. You can resume your usual label printing workflow directly through the app. If you experience any further issues or have questions, support is available to assist.

Has the dangerous site warning issue when printing shipping labels been fixed?

Yes, the issue causing dangerous site warnings during label printing has been resolved. You should now be able to print shipping labels directly through the standard process without encountering any security warnings. If you still face any problems, it is recommended to clear your browser cache and try again or download the label as a PDF and print from the local file.

How can I adjust the orientation and size of laser-printed FedEx labels for label stock in the printer?

To adjust the orientation and size of FedEx labels printed on label stock using a laser printer: 1. Go to the PluginHive app’s **App Settings**. 2. Navigate to **Documents/Label Settings**. 3. Under **Print Label Size**, select the desired label size and orientation option that matches your FedEx label stock and printer setup. 4. Note that changes made here will apply only to newly generated labels, so you may need to regenerate labels after updating these settings. By configuring these options, you can properly align your labels on your laser printer’s FedEx label stock.

How can I adjust the print size or scale of shipping labels, especially when using 103mm x 164mm label sheets, to avoid labels being cut off or printing over two labels?

To adjust the label size and layout for accurate printing: 1. Open the Print Preview settings on your computer or printer system, where you configure label print settings. 2. Modify the scale or size settings to better fit the 103mm x 164mm label dimensions. This may include percentage scaling, margins, or layout options. 3. Print a test label to check if the entire content, including the postcode, fits properly on a single label without cutting off. If after adjusting these settings the issue persists, it's recommended to record a video of your label printing process and share it with PluginHive support for further investigation. This helps diagnose specific setup or compatibility issues with your printer or system.

Navigate to the User Management or Roles section within the dashboard. 3. Create a new role or edit an existing role. 4. Ensure the role includes permissions related to order management, specifically the ability to create orders and generate/print shipping labels. These permissions might be labeled as "Create Orders," "Print Labels," or similar. 5. Save the role configuration. 6. Assign this role to the relevant user accounts to enable them to perform order creation and label printing functions. By doing this, users with the assigned role will have the necessary access to manage order creation and label printing within the PluginHive platform.

How can I associate one default printer with the PluginHive app to print labels directly?

The PluginHive app does not support associating or setting a default printer within the app itself. Instead, the app generates labels in PDF format, which you can open and print using any printer configured on your local system. To print labels, simply generate the label PDF from the app and then select the desired printer through your computer’s usual print dialog. This allows you to use any printer already set up on your device for printing labels.

How can I cancel a printed FedEx Economy shipping label and reprint it with Priority shipment for an order?

To cancel a printed FedEx Economy shipping label and reprint it with Priority shipment, follow these steps: 1. Access your Shopify admin and go to the specific order page that has the Economy label printed. 2. Cancel the existing shipping label through the shipping provider’s portal or Shopify interface, depending on where the label was purchased. Ensure cancellation is complete to avoid charges. 3. Once the label is canceled, go to Shopify Orders -> Open the order -> click on "More actions" -> select "Generate label". 4. In the label generation window, under service options, select the Priority shipment type instead of Economy. 5. Generate and print the new Priority label. Note: If you need platform-specific help (like with PluginHive), ensure relevant integrations or permissions are set up. It’s recommended to confirm cancellation policies with FedEx to avoid billing issues.

How can I change the ship date on shipping labels to print them in advance without waiting until the actual shipping day?

You can use the "Ship After These Many Days" option when generating labels to print labels dated for a future shipping day. For example, if an order is placed on February 6, 2025, and you set the "Ship After These Many Days" to 5, the label will show the ship date as February 11, 2025. This allows you to print labels ahead of time, reducing bottlenecks in your shipping process. To use this feature, select the desired number of days to delay shipment while generating the label. Test this on a new or sample order to verify proper label date printing.

How can I configure PluginHive to print only the first shipping label and exclude other documents when printing?

To print only the first shipping label and avoid printing additional documents in PluginHive, follow these steps: 1. Go to the PluginHive dashboard and navigate to **App Settings**. 2. Select **Print Settings** from the menu. 3. Locate the option related to the number of copies for other documents (such as invoices or packing slips). 4. Set the number of copies for these additional documents to **0** to disable their printing. This ensures only the shipping label is printed. 5. Save the settings to apply the changes. 6. Generate a new shipping label for an order and test printing to confirm that only the first shipping label is printed without the other documents. This setup allows precise control over which documents are printed, reducing unnecessary printouts and saving resources.

To print two shipping labels per page using the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1.

Check for label layout or format options — look for settings related to label size, number of labels per page, or print layout. 3. Select or enable the option to print multiple labels per page, typically “2 labels per page” or a similar setting. 4. If no direct setting is visible, PluginHive may require specific print configuration via the PDF viewer or printer dialog: – When the label PDF opens, choose “Multiple pages per sheet” or “2 labels per page” in the print setup dialog. – Ensure your printer supports the selected layout and paper size. 5. If this option is not directly available in the app interface, contact PluginHive support for personalized assistance to configure your label printing setup appropriately. 6. During support, have your printing environment details ready (printer model, OS, browser/app version) to aid troubleshooting. Note: PluginHive support also offers direct guidance through Zoom or calls to assist with print configuration if the above settings are not accessible or do not produce the desired layout.

How can I continue shipping label generation and printing despite the recent malware warning on PluginHive apps?

How can I ensure that "Dry Ice" is printed on my shipping label when using PluginHive?

To have "Dry Ice" information appear on your shipping label using PluginHive, follow these points based on the carrier and shipping service: 1. **FedEx Express:** – When creating the label, declare the shipment contains dry ice. – The generated label will automatically include the necessary dry ice details such as the weight and UN1845 marking, complying with IATA regulations. – This ensures the label is correctly marked for dry ice shipments. 2. **FedEx Ground:** – The system does not automatically print "Dry Ice" on ground shipping labels, even if the shipment contains dry ice. – In this case, you will need to manually add a dry ice label or sticker to comply with shipping regulations. 3. **Testing and Verification:** – You can test label generation (e.g., FedEx 2Day) on your PluginHive app interface to confirm the dry ice declaration appears as expected. – Verify the label after generation to ensure it contains the dry ice notation when using FedEx Express or similar services that support this feature. If you encounter issues or need assistance with the app setup for generating labels with dry ice, consider scheduling a support call with PluginHive to walk through the steps.

How can I generate a test shipping label to check if my new printer is working correctly using PluginHive?

To generate a test shipping label for your new printer using PluginHive, follow these steps: 1. In your Shopify store, create a sample order containing an active product. This can be an order created for yourself or a test customer. 2. Once the order is created, go to the PluginHive app and find the order in your Shopify Orders list. 3.

How can I integrate my FedEx account with Shopify to print my own shipping labels?

To integrate your FedEx account with Shopify for printing shipping labels, you need to ensure that the Carrier Calculated Rates (CCR) feature is enabled on your Shopify store because live FedEx shipping rates require this feature. Follow these steps: 1. Contact Shopify Support to enable Carrier Calculated Rates if it is not already active on your account. 2. Once CCR is enabled, use the PluginHive app to connect your FedEx account credentials within the app settings. 3. Verify that all permissions and necessary credentials are correctly entered to allow label printing. 4. After configuration, you will be able to view FedEx live shipping rates at checkout and generate FedEx shipping labels directly from your Shopify orders.

How can I manually generate labels when printing multiple labels at once without using auto-generation?

It is not possible to manually generate multiple labels at once using the Single Label Generation process. The Single Label Generation feature only allows creating one label per order individually. For bulk label printing involving multiple orders, you must use the Auto-Generate Label option, which automatically processes all labels based on your app settings. This means bulk label generation cannot be done manually, and auto-generation is required for printing multiple labels simultaneously.

How can I minimize or resolve delays and timeouts when printing labels with the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app, especially when receiving errors about contacting the FedEx server?

Delays and timeouts during label printing in the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app typically relate to connectivity or order processing issues. To minimize or troubleshoot these delays: 1. Verify your internet connectivity and ensure stable access to FedEx servers. Intermittent connection issues can cause timeouts. 2. Cross-check with your fulfilment team if any internal delays in processing orders exist before label generation. Order processing speed directly affects label creation. 3. Monitor print label operations by generating a few test labels to identify if timeouts are consistent or intermittent. 4. If delays persist, consider scheduling a support call involving your fulfilment team and PluginHive’s support to test label generation live and diagnose bottlenecks. The support team can guide you through the process and provide specific assistance. 5. Provide PluginHive support with any error messages or screen recordings illustrating the delay to help recreate and resolve the issue. Following these steps helps isolate whether the delays stem from network issues, order processing backlogs, or API communication with FedEx, thereby enabling targeted remediation to avoid timeouts.

How can I print shipping labels for multiple items in one order when some products are fulfilled outside the PluginHive FedEx app?

The PluginHive FedEx app can only generate shipping labels for products fulfilled through it.

Click on the "More Actions" dropdown menu. 4. Select the "Auto Generate Labels" option to generate shipping labels for all selected orders at once. 5. Once labels are generated, you can print them in bulk.

This is a mandatory requirement imposed by FedEx, not a limitation of the PluginHive app. To fix this issue, you need to ensure that the shipping details entered at checkout are provided only in English characters. This can be done by configuring your checkout process or instructing customers to enter their shipping address in English to enable correct label generation.

To set this up and learn how to use the bulk label printing functionality, follow the detailed instructions provided in the App Setup Article here: https://www.pluginhive.com/set-up-shopify-fedex-rates-labels-tracking-app/#print_fedex_labels_in_bulk. This guide covers connecting your FedEx account, selecting multiple orders, and creating labels efficiently to save time and streamline fulfillment.

How can we track and display the status of an order between label creation and fulfillment, specifically to indicate when a label has been printed before the order is fulfilled?

To track the status of an order between label creation and fulfillment, you can use the PluginHive Multi-Carrier Shipping Label (MCSL) app, which provides additional status options and actions in the order flow. Here's how it works: 1. When you generate shipping labels within the MCSL app, the order status changes to **"Label Created"**. This indicates that labels have been generated but not yet printed or fulfilled. 2. Once the labels are physically printed or the packages leave the store, you manually mark the orders as **Fulfilled** in the system. This step confirms the label was printed and the order is ready for dispatch. 3. This process effectively creates an in-between status that helps you track if the label printing step is completed before the order is fulfilled. 4. The app supports flexible handling of shipping workflows to ensure you do not fulfill orders prematurely before label printing is confirmed. Additionally, to better understand this flow, you can review the provided demo video (link shared during support) showing the order processing steps in the MCSL app. If you need more help setting it up, consider scheduling a consultation call via the plugin’s appointment booking link.

How can you offer two shipping options, like economic and Overnight services, and choose between them when printing shipping labels?

When generating labels in bulk for multiple orders, the system uses either the cheapest available service or the preferred service set in the app for all labels. Therefore, you cannot select different services per order in bulk label creation. To choose between economic and Overnight services per order: 1. Use the **Single Label Generation process**, which lets you select the desired service for each order individually during label generation. 2. This process presents the list of all available FedEx services for that order so you can choose the appropriate shipping option. For more details, see: https://www.pluginhive.com/set-up-shopify-fedex-rates-labels-tracking-app/#auto_manual_label

How do I disable printing the proforma invoice so that only shipping labels are printed when using the PluginHive app?

To disable printing the proforma invoice and ensure that only shipping labels are printed, please perform the following: 1. Navigate to the **App Settings** section in your PluginHive app. 2. Select **Print Settings** from the menu. 3. Find the option related to **ProForma Invoice** (usually under Commercial Invoice/ProForma fields). 4. Set the number of copies for the proforma invoice to **0**. 5. Save your settings. After this configuration, printing will exclude the proforma invoice, producing only the shipping labels.

How do I ensure that all my shipping labels print with the alcohol designation to comply with FedEx requirements?

To have all your shipping labels indicate that the products contain alcohol, you need to mark each relevant product as containing alcohol in your inventory settings. Follow these steps: 1. Identify all products that contain alcohol and need the alcohol designation on shipping labels. 2. Update each product’s settings to reflect that it contains alcohol. 3. To update multiple products efficiently, use the bulk Export and Import CSV feature: – Navigate to the App → Products section. – Export your current product list to a CSV file. – Edit the CSV file by marking all applicable products as containing alcohol. – Import the updated CSV back into the system. 4. After updating, all shipping labels generated for those products will automatically include the alcohol designation. Make sure these changes are completed before you process shipments to avoid any FedEx compliance issues. If you require further help with the CSV export/import process, support is available.

How do I resolve the issue of an order showing the status 'Auto cancell' and unable to print the shipping label due to a problem in the 'Fulfilled from' section?

To resolve the issue where an order is automatically canceled and you cannot print the shipping label due to the 'Fulfilled from' configuration, follow these steps: 1. In your Shopify admin, navigate to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. 2. Check if you have enabled **custom order fulfillment locations**.

How was the critical issue of printing RFC and CURP on Mexican shipping labels addressed by PluginHive?

PluginHive prioritized the enhancement request and upgraded the PH Ship Rate app to include the recipient’s RFC tax ID on invoices and shipping labels for shipments to Mexico. Users need to update to the latest app version and create new labels for the changes to take effect. This eliminates the need for manual addition of tax IDs and helps avoid shipment rejections by Mexican customs.

If I want to print shipping labels for multiple carriers such as USPS, FedEx, and UPS, do I need the PH Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app or a different app?

The PH Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app only generates shipping labels and rates for FedEx shipments since it is exclusively dedicated to FedEx. To print labels for multiple carriers including USPS, FedEx, and UPS, you will need to use the PH Multi Carrier Shipping Label app, which supports all three carriers.

Is a shipping label still valid if it shows as auto-cancelled but I was able to print it out?

When a shipping label is auto-cancelled, it is no longer valid for shipment processing, even if you managed to print it. Auto-cancellation occurs when the order cannot be fulfilled. For example, if you attempt to generate a label for an order that is already fully or partially fulfilled, such as trying to create a forward label for an exchange item, the label will be auto-cancelled and cannot be used for shipment. In this case, despite being able to print the label, it should not be used as it won’t be recognized by the carrier system. Always verify the fulfillment status of your order before generating a new label to avoid auto-cancellation.

Is it normal for printing FedEx labels generated by the PluginHive app to be slower after high-volume order activity?

Yes, occasional slowness in generating and printing FedEx shipping labels can occur due to high order processing and fulfillment activity, especially after peak periods such as holidays. This results in higher system load causing delays in document preparation. This slowdown should stabilize and improve once the high fulfillment volume reduces. If the slow printing persists beyond peak periods or worsens, consider the following: 1. Verify if there were any recent changes in your Shopify store or fulfillment workflow. 2. Ensure your browser and internet connection are optimal and updated. 3. Reach out to PluginHive support to investigate further if the slowness continues or impacts your operations.

Is it possible to print a shipping label for an order to be fulfilled on a future date, and how can this be done in Shopify?

Yes, you can generate and print a shipping label for an order scheduled for future fulfillment as long as the order remains in unfulfilled status. To do this: 1. Go to the specific order in Shopify. 2. Click on the Order Number to open the order details. 3. Select "More Actions" and then "Generate Label." 4. Use the "Ship After These (0 to 7) Many Days" option to specify how many days after label generation the shipment should be processed. This allows you to prepare labels ahead of the actual shipment date while keeping the order status unfulfilled.

Is it possible to print multiple shipping labels for a single product that requires multiple boxes?

Yes, the app allows you to generate and print multiple labels for orders containing a single product that ships in multiple boxes. This ensures accurate shipment tracking and labeling for each package.

Is it possible to reprint shipping labels for a filtered set of orders within the app?

The app itself does not support order filtering or label reprinting based on criteria like region inside its interface. However, you can filter orders in Shopify by criteria such as destination country, status, or labels, and then select the filtered orders via Shopify’s bulk action feature to print or reprint shipping labels through the integrated shipping app. This method allows controlled processing and printing without in-app filtering features.

Is the customer ID number for shipments to China automatically printed on the shipping labels, or do I need to enable a setting for this?

The customer ID number, specifically the Resident Number for shipments to China, is not automatically printed on the labels by the app. To include it, you must manually add the Resident Number in the shipping address within Shopify. The recommended method is: 1. Update the Resident Number by entering it into Address Line 2 of the Shipping Address in Shopify. 2. Generate the shipping label through the app after updating the address. 3. Once the label is generated, you can revert the address changes if needed. There is no direct setting in the app to automatically print the Resident Number on labels for China shipments.

Is there a way to fully automate printing of labels and accompanying documents through PluginHive?

Currently, PluginHive does not provide full native automation for printing labels and documents separately or on different printers. However, there are two possible approaches for custom automation you can consider: 1. **API Access:** Request API endpoints from PluginHive such as GET /{SHOPIFY_ID}/label and GET /{SHOPIFY_ID}/documents with webhook support. This would allow your system to programmatically retrieve generated shipping labels and documents for automated printing. 2. **Custom Metafield Storage:** Have PluginHive add generated labels (PDF, ZPL2, PNG, etc.) and documents as file objects or metafields within the Shopify order object. This enables your system to automatically query and print these files via Shopify order metafields. Currently, these are feature requests under consideration by PluginHive’s product team and may require future updates or custom development collaboration.

Is there a way to print multiple pages of generated labels at once, or do I have to select up to 50 orders at a time and print them separately?

You can only select and print a maximum of 50 orders at a time, both in Shopify and within the PluginHive app. It is not possible to select orders across multiple pages for printing in either platform. Therefore, you will need to process and print labels in batches of up to 50 orders.

Is there a way to turn off shipping label printing for orders to Hawaii and Alaska and generate labels only for the rest of the U.S. using PluginHive?

PluginHive does not currently support automatic exclusion of orders based on the shipping address for label generation. To manage this, you need to manually exclude orders destined for Hawaii and Alaska within your Shopify admin. Specifically, review your new orders, omit or do not select those shipping to these states, and then generate labels only for orders to the remaining U.S. states using the app. If you want to stop accepting orders from Hawaii and Alaska altogether at checkout, you will need to configure restrictions directly in Shopify’s settings, as PluginHive does not handle checkout-level shipping restrictions. For Shopify-specific restrictions, consult Shopify support or Shopify documentation on shipping zones and shipping profiles.

Is there an audit available to track where and by whom a shipping label was generated and printed for a specific order in PluginHive?

PluginHive does not record or provide audit information regarding the physical location where a label is generated or printed. Additionally, it does not track which specific user generated the label. Labels can be generated by any user with access to both Shopify and the PluginHive app, but detailed logging of user actions or physical print locations is not available within the current system.

Is there an easier way to print FedEx shipping labels without downloading, unzipping, and using printer commands each time?

Yes. By default, if your labels are in ZPLII format, you must download and unzip the label file before printing, which can be cumbersome. To simplify printing: 1. Go to the app and navigate to **App > Settings > Documents/Label Settings**. 2. Under **Image Type**, change the setting from **ZPLII** to **PDF**. PDF labels can be printed directly from the app using any printer. 3. This change applies only to new labels generated after updating the setting, so generate new labels after switching to PDF. 4. To print, open the **Shipping Tab** in the app, select the orders with generated PDF labels, and click **Print Documents**. This opens a new tab where you can adjust print settings and print the labels directly. This method eliminates the need to download or unzip files and supports direct printing from the app.

Is there an option to download shipping labels and invoices separately and collectively for easier printing in the app?

Currently, the app provides a "Download Documents" option where all related documents for an order (labels, invoices, packing slips) are downloaded as separate PDF files, allowing you to print them individually. However, there is no feature to download only labels or only invoices collectively in one batch file for multiple orders. All documents must be downloaded individually per order via the app. If you require collective downloading of only labels or invoices, consider submitting feedback as this feature is not supported at present.

My Shopify locations show the correct company address, but the FedEx labels still print the old address. Could this be because I have not generated new labels?

Yes, the FedEx labels will use the address saved in the Shopify location at the time of label generation. If you updated your address recently in Shopify but continue to use previously generated labels or if the labels were created before updating the address, the old address may still appear. To resolve this: 1. Verify your updated company address under Shopify **Settings** → **Locations**. 2. Generate a new shipping label for your order following the label generation process in Shopify (Orders → Open Order → More Actions → Generate Label). 3. The new label will pull the current address from your Shopify location. Always ensure to generate fresh labels after making any address changes to reflect the correct information on your shipping labels.

What can I do if the shipping labels print incorrectly on my thermal printer using Windows PC?

Label printing issues on thermal printers are typically related to incorrect local print settings rather than the PluginHive app itself. To resolve this: 1. Check the **paper size and print orientation** in your Windows PC’s printer preferences and driver settings. Ensure the paper size matches your thermal label roll size (for example, 4” x 6”). 2. Verify that scaling options such as “Fit to page” or “Shrink to printable area” are disabled to avoid resizing issues. 3. Confirm the print quality settings are appropriate for thermal printing (usually a higher dpi setting). 4. Print a test label from your printer settings to ensure proper output. 5. If you notice label misalignment or cutoffs, adjust the margins or the label size accordingly in the printer preferences. 6. If possible, share screenshots of your current print settings and a photo or scan of the incorrectly printed label to support for detailed suggestions. This step-by-step verification usually corrects printing distortions or content misplacements on thermal labels.

What does the error "Inactive Customer Account" mean when printing a FedEx shipping label, and how can I resolve it?

The error "Inactive Customer Account" indicates that FedEx has marked your FedEx account as inactive, preventing label printing and shipment processing. To resolve this issue: 1. Contact your FedEx account representative directly to address the account status. 2. Alternatively, call FedEx Support at 877-339-2774 to identify the reason for inactivation and get assistance in reactivating your account. 3. Once FedEx reactivates your account, you will be able to print shipping labels and process shipments normally through PluginHive.

What does the FedEx error code C10001 mean and how can I fix it when printing labels through PluginHive?

The FedEx error code C10001 indicates that the FedEx server is rejecting the request because either the maximum number of packages per shipment has been exceeded or the length of the rates request is too large due to a high number of products in the order. Specifically, orders containing around 100 products may cause the request to be too large and fail. To fix this issue, follow these steps: 1. Split the shipment into multiple packages to reduce the size of each rates/label request. 2. To update the package information and generate separate labels: – Go to your Shopify admin and open the specific order. – Click on "More actions" and select "Generate label." – Choose "Generate package" to update the package details, including shipping cost per package. 3. Generate shipping labels for each package separately to avoid exceeding FedEx request limits. If splitting packages is not feasible within the app for some orders, you may need to process these orders manually outside the PluginHive app. For further assistance, reach out to support with specific order details.

What immediate workaround is recommended if the React App print documents feature is not working properly?

If you are unable to use the React App’s print documents functionality due to persistent loading or freezing issues, the recommended workaround is: – Download the generated shipping labels directly from the PluginHive app or Shopify orders page. – Print the labels offline using your system’s PDF viewer or printing software. – This ensures uninterrupted fulfillment operations while the app-related issue is being diagnosed and resolved. Contact PluginHive support to escalate the problem and receive updates on troubleshooting outcomes.

What information should I provide if I encounter issues printing labels from the PluginHive app to receive effective support?

Providing a screenshot along with these details helps the PluginHive support team diagnose the problem accurately and offer precise solutions.

What is the shipping address information in Shopify’s carrier account settings used for? Does it print on shipping labels or bills of lading (BOLs)?

The shipping address information entered in Shopify’s carrier account settings generally serves as the default sender or return address for shipping purposes. However, whether it prints on shipping labels or Bills of Lading depends on how your carrier or shipping app processes this data. For the PluginHive app integrated with FedEx: – The PluginHive app primarily uses the address configured within its own settings or based on order details. – The Shopify carrier account shipping info may not directly print on the labels or BOLs generated by PluginHive. – To ensure the correct address appears on labels and documentation, verify and configure the sender address within the PluginHive app or during shipment creation. If in doubt, consult with PluginHive support or FedEx directly to confirm which address fields they use for label generation.

What printers are compatible with PluginHive for printing shipping labels?

PluginHive supports all types of printers for printing shipping labels. After generating your labels within the app, click on "Print Documents," which will open the labels as a PDF file.

This approach allows you to use any printer without needing specific compatibility or drivers from PluginHive.

What printers are recommended for label and document printing with PluginHive?

While PluginHive does not mandate specific printers, users commonly use the following models for shipping label printing and document handling: – Brother HL-L2460DW Wireless Compact Monochrome Laser Printer: Suitable for fast, reliable label printing with wireless connectivity. – HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw Wireless Laser Printer: Offers color printing capabilities, wireless convenience, and good compatibility with standard label sizes.

Why am I getting a blank page when trying to generate or print a shipping label for order 6900, and how can I fix it?

The blank page issue during label generation for order 6900 is likely caused by Non-English characters present in the Shipping Address of the Shopify order. To resolve this: 1. Cancel the shipping label from within the PluginHive app (do not cancel the fulfillment manually in Shopify). Canceling the label via the app also cancels the fulfillment automatically. 2. Edit the Shipping Address fields in the Shopify order to use only English characters. 3. Retry generating the shipping label from the app. If the label cannot be canceled from the app because the cancellation was previously done manually in Shopify, you must: – Generate a new label directly on fedex.com by logging into your FedEx account. – Fulfill the order manually in Shopify. Note: You will not be charged for the label generated from the app unless FedEx scans the label during shipment processing.

Why am I getting the error "Failed to Load Document Only Applicable for Labels Generated With PH Ship, Rate and Track App" when trying to print a FedEx shipping label?

This error typically occurs when attempting to print a label that was not generated through the PluginHive Ship, Rate, and Track app. To resolve this: 1. Confirm that the label you are trying to print was created using the PluginHive app. Labels generated outside this app will not be accessible for printing through it. 2. If you are sure the label was generated through PluginHive, try regenerating the label by following the exact process shown in the official PluginHive label generation method. 3. Ensure your store user settings allow the app to fetch rates and generate labels correctly. Navigate to Shopify Settings -> Users and accept any pending collaborator requests from PluginHive to ensure proper app permissions. By following these steps, you can avoid the error and successfully print your FedEx shipping labels.

Why am I getting the error message "FedEx label generation was automatically canceled due to products unavailability at the default address" when printing a shipping label, even though the order is fulfilled and showing sold out?

This error occurs because the products in the order are not available at the default warehouse or location configured for shipping. Even if the order is fulfilled and shows sold out, the PluginHive app checks product availability at the selected shipping address before generating the FedEx label. If the inventory is not present at that location, label generation is automatically canceled. To resolve this: 1. Verify that the default or selected shipping location for the order has sufficient inventory for the products being shipped. 2. Update the inventory levels or select the correct shipping location with available stock before generating the label. 3. Ensure inventory sync processes between your sales channels and warehouses are functioning correctly to prevent discrepancies.

Why am I seeing a "Dangerous Site Warning" when trying to print label documents using PluginHive, and how can I print labels during this issue?

The "Dangerous Site Warning" appeared because the PluginHive apps triggered a malware warning on browsers, causing alerts that the site might install harmful software. During this period, to print labels safely without accessing the app directly via the browser, you should: 1. Download the label documents to your local device. 2. Open the downloaded label files directly from your device. 3. Print the labels from the downloaded files instead of printing through the browser interface. This workaround prevents triggering browser security warnings while allowing you to continue printing labels.

Why am I seeing a "site is dangerous" pop-up when trying to print documents, and how can I print labels in the meantime?

This pop-up occurs due to a temporary security warning detected on the site, which started around 5 pm on December 31, 2024. While the issue is being resolved, you can still print your labels by downloading them first and then printing from your local device instead of printing directly from the site. This workaround ensures you can continue your printing tasks safely until the problem is fixed.

Why am I seeing a "your site is dangerous" warning when trying to print labels through the PluginHive app, and how can I resolve it?

The "your site is dangerous" warning was caused by a malware alert related to the PluginHive apps. This issue has been investigated and fully resolved by the PluginHive team. To ensure you can print labels without interruptions, please: 1. Refresh your browser and clear your cache. 2. Try printing labels again using supported browsers such as Safari or Microsoft Edge, as these browsers have been confirmed to work without triggering the warning. 3. If the issue persists, contact PluginHive Support immediately with details of your experience so they can assist further. This issue should no longer appear as the malware warning has been removed and the apps are functioning normally.

Why am I seeing a red warning page when trying to print labels from the Shopify app in Chrome, and how can I resolve it?

The red warning page appeared due to a malware warning triggered against the PluginHive apps, causing a temporary issue with label printing in Chrome. This problem has now been fully resolved, and the apps are functioning normally again. To resolve the issue on your side, please: 1. Clear your browser cache and restart Chrome to ensure you load the updated, safe version of the app. 2. Retry generating and printing your labels as usual within the Shopify app. 3. If you continue seeing warnings, make sure your browser and antivirus software are updated, and try downloading the labels directly as a temporary workaround. You should now be able to generate and print labels without any interruptions. If issues persist, please contact support for further assistance.

Why am I unable to get FedEx rates when trying to print labels for domestic UK shipments, and how can I resolve this issue?

The inability to get FedEx rates for domestic UK shipments is due to a temporary technical disruption on FedEx's side. To resolve this: 1. Verify the current status of FedEx services on the official FedEx website, as they sometimes experience service interruptions that affect rate retrieval. 2. If FedEx services are down or rates are not being provided, wait for some time until FedEx restores normal functionality. 3. After some time, try generating labels again through the PluginHive app. 4. If the issue persists even after FedEx services resume, contact FedEx support directly for additional troubleshooting. 5. Once FedEx services and rates are visible and available, users should be able to generate labels for UK domestic shipments normally. This approach ensures you distinguish between temporary service outages and configuration issues, preventing unnecessary changes on your end.

Why am I unable to print shipping labels using PluginHive, and how can I print labels while the issue is being resolved?

If you are currently unable to print shipping labels through PluginHive, this may be due to an ongoing technical problem affecting label printing functionality. To work around this issue until it is resolved: 1. Download the shipping labels directly from the PluginHive app. 2. Use the downloaded label files to print manually from your local device or printer software. This approach allows you to continue fulfilling shipments without disruption while PluginHive addresses the printing problem. Stay updated by checking PluginHive’s official communications for status updates on the fix.

Why am I unable to print the shipping label for order 19141?

The issue occurs because the shipping address has a mismatch between the country and the actual address. In this case, the shipping address is in Italy, but the country is set as Germany. This discrepancy causes the shipping rate request to FedEx to fail, preventing label generation. To resolve this, update the shipping address country to match the actual address (Italy in this instance) within your system or app, then try generating the shipping label again. This correction should allow the label to print successfully.

Why am I unable to print the waybill and invoice for order #BLK3643 using the PluginHive app?

The issue occurs because the fulfillment for order #BLK3643 was manually canceled directly in Shopify instead of canceling the shipping label through the PluginHive app. When a label is generated via the app, to generate a new label for the same order, you must first cancel the label within the PluginHive app. Canceling the label in the app will automatically cancel the order fulfillment status in Shopify. Only after this step can you generate a new label through the app for the order. Since the fulfillment was canceled manually in Shopify, the app still shows the order as label generated and fulfilled, preventing new label creation. As a workaround, you can generate a new shipping label outside the app directly on the carrier's website (e.g., fedex.com) and manually mark the order as fulfilled in Shopify. For future cases, always cancel labels through the PluginHive app to maintain synchronization and enable label regeneration.

Why am I unable to select a printer or print shipping labels using the "Print Documents" option, and it only prints the customs invoice?

This usually occurs when labels are generated in the ZPLII format, which is not compatible with the **Print Documents** button in the app. To resolve this: 1. Change the label **Image Type** in the app from **ZPLII** to **PDF** by going to **App > Settings > Documents/Label Settings** and selecting **PDF**. 2. Generate new shipping labels after this change. 3. Use the **Print Documents** option to print the labels. The labels will open as a PDF, which can be printed using any standard printer. 4. Note that when using PDF, you do not have to configure your Thermal Printer within the app. This ensures the shipping labels are visible and printable via the app’s **Print Documents** feature.

Why are customers no longer receiving email notifications about order updates after starting to print labels using PluginHive? How can this be resolved?

FedEx event notifications are managed by FedEx directly and do not require SMTP configuration on your end. Shopify manages the order fulfillment emails, including tracking information. If customers stopped receiving updates, it is likely the option to include tracking numbers in fulfillment emails was disabled. To resolve: 1. Verify that Shopify’s order fulfillment email settings have tracking number inclusion enabled. 2. Once enabled, Shopify will send tracking updates to customers as expected. 3. PluginHive ensures tracking numbers are included when sending information to Shopify. Coordinate with your Shopify admin to confirm fulfillment email settings.

Why are my orders not updating in Shopify after fulfilling and printing labels through the app?

If your orders are not updating in Shopify after fulfilling and printing labels, follow these steps to troubleshoot: 1. Verify if the app has actually marked the order as fulfilled in Shopify by checking the order status within Shopify’s admin panel. 2. Confirm whether you have successfully generated and printed shipping labels using the app for those orders. 3. Check for any errors or notifications within the app or Shopify regarding fulfillment status or label generation. 4. If the app shows the order as fulfilled but Shopify does not reflect this change, try refreshing or syncing data manually if such an option exists. 5. Ensure that your app and Shopify integration settings are correctly configured and active. 6. If the problem persists, provide specific order numbers where label printing succeeded but fulfillment status did not update; this information helps pinpoint issues for further support. By verifying these details, you can identify whether the fulfillment update did or did not propagate correctly from the app to Shopify and take corrective measures or request targeted support.

Why are my shipping labels generated in ZPLII format instead of PDF in PluginHive, and how can I resolve this issue when using a Zebra ZP506 printer?

Shipping labels in PluginHive can be generated in multiple formats, including PDF and ZPLII. If labels are generated in ZPLII format by default and you require PDF, you need to check the format settings within PluginHive before generating labels. Since the Zebra ZP506 printer supports ZPLII format natively, PluginHive may default to that format for compatibility. To resolve this: 1. Verify your label format preference in the PluginHive shipping settings and select PDF if that is your intended format. 2. If labels are generated in ZPLII format and do not display correctly on your end, ensure that your Zebra ZP506 printer is correctly configured to interpret ZPLII commands. 3. If you intend to use PDF labels instead, switch the label format setting in PluginHive accordingly and regenerate the labels. 4. Consult the attached reference video provided by the PluginHive support team for a step-by-step guide on modifying label formats and printer setup. 5. If you continue to experience issues, consider checking printer driver settings or firmware compatibility with ZPLII formats for the Zebra ZP506. 6. For further personalized assistance, schedule a support session with PluginHive at the earliest availability.

Why are my Shopify orders not fulfilling automatically after printing labels using the PluginHive app, and how can I resolve this issue?

If Shopify orders are not fulfilling automatically after printing labels via PluginHive, this can occur due to manual fulfillment or processing delays. To resolve this: 1. Identify any Shopify orders that were manually fulfilled after label generation. Manually fulfilled orders prevent the app from fulfilling them again automatically. 2. Unfulfill these Shopify orders in your Shopify admin panel. 3. Generate the shipping labels again using the PluginHive app for those orders. 4. Allow some time for the app to communicate with Shopify and fulfill the orders automatically. Be aware that during high volume sales periods (e.g., Black Friday, Cyber Monday), there may be delays between successful label generation and Shopify order fulfillment due to processing load. 5. Do not manually fulfill the orders once labels are generated, as this interrupts the automatic fulfillment workflow of the PluginHive app. If the delay in automatic fulfillment is excessively long, contact PluginHive support for further investigation.

Why are shipping labels automatically cancelling when trying to print labels for split orders fulfilled from multiple locations, and how can this be prevented?

The PluginHive app does not support order fulfillment from multiple locations for a single order. It only processes fulfillment from one location per order. To ensure consistency and accuracy, the app now automatically cancels shipping labels if an order attempts to ship from more than one location. This is a built-in safeguard and was implemented to clarify fulfillment behavior. Currently, there is no way to prevent auto-cancellation of labels for split orders shipped from multiple locations. The recommended workaround is to consolidate inventory at one location and fulfill the entire order from there under a single shipping label. For multi-location shipment needs, you must create separate orders per location outside the app. The PluginHive team is reviewing multi-location fulfillment support, but until new features are released, fulfilling one order from one location is the supported practice.

Why are shipping labels not printing properly when the customer enters the address in Arabic?

FedEx only supports English characters for shipping details. If an address is entered in any other language, such as Arabic, the shipping labels will not generate or print correctly. To resolve this issue, cancel any label generated with non-English characters, update the shipping address to English in the order details, and then generate a new label. This ensures the label prints properly with supported characters.

Why did the system print a FedEx Economy Ground label instead of the FedEx Ground shipping option that the customer selected at checkout?

This issue is usually due to how shipping options are configured in the app’s carrier services settings: 1. The shipping method shown to the customer can sometimes be a fallback rate (a manually configured or generic shipping rate), not the real-time FedEx calculated service rates. 2. When fallback rates are used instead of actual calculated carrier services, the app treats the selected option as a custom rate. 3. Because it’s a custom rate outside of the app’s calculated services, the app defaults to generating the label for the cheapest available carrier service, in this case, FedEx Economy Ground. To resolve this: – Navigate to the app’s settings under "Carrier Services." – Enable the FedEx calculated services rather than fallback or custom rates. – Once FedEx calculated rates are enabled and displayed to customers, the shipping option selected at checkout will correspond with the generated shipping label. – Verify this setup with new orders to confirm labels print correctly according to customer selection.

Why do I need to mark an order as "Unfulfilled" to print shipping labels? Shouldn’t fulfilling the order come first?

Shopify and PluginHive require the order to be in the "Unfulfilled" status to allow label generation because: – "Unfulfilled" means the order is ready to be processed and shipped. – Label generation triggers fulfillment with tracking details. – If the order is already marked as "Fulfilled," it assumes product delivery has been completed, so only return labels can be generated, not forward shipping labels. Therefore, if the order status is "Scheduled," you must first mark it as "Unfulfilled" for label printing and fulfillment to proceed properly.

Why do I receive a dangerous site warning when trying to print a shipping label, and how can I print the label despite this issue?

This warning was caused by a known issue with the label printing process. While the problem persisted, you could bypass the warning by downloading the shipping labels directly to your device and printing them from there. This avoids accessing the site link that triggered the warning. Specifically: 1. When the dangerous site warning appears, do not proceed with printing directly. 2. Instead, use the option to download the label as a PDF or image file. 3. Open the downloaded file locally on your device. 4. Print the label from this downloaded file using your standard PDF or image viewer. This method ensured you could still print labels safely while the issue was being resolved.

Why do I see a dangerous site or malware warning when trying to print shipping labels using PluginHive apps, and how can I resolve this issue?

The malware warning or dangerous site alert occurs due to a temporary issue that affected the PluginHive apps, causing security software to flag the label generation process. This problem has now been resolved. To address this: 1. Ensure your PluginHive app is updated to the latest version where the fix has been applied. 2. You can now proceed to generate and print shipping labels without encountering the malware warning. 3. If you still experience issues, try downloading the labels directly and printing them manually as a temporary workaround. 4. If problems persist, contact support with details for further assistance. This resolution ensures uninterrupted label generation and printing functionality within the PluginHive apps.

Why do my labels print at about half the expected size on a 4×6 Zebra label when printing from the app?

Label size issues typically stem from incorrect printer setup or label settings mismatch. To fix this: 1. Verify that the label size in the app's **Document / Label settings** matches your actual label size, for example, Stock 4 x 6 for 4×6-inch labels. 2. Ensure that the Zebra printer is configured correctly in Zebra Browser Print and supports direct thermal or thermal transfer printing as per your label type. 3. Confirm that the image type is set to **ZPLII** for direct printer commands instead of PDF output, which may scale differently. 4. Check the printer driver settings on your system to ensure the page size matches 4×6 inches and no scaling is applied during printing. 5. If the printer driver or Zebra Browser Print is set incorrectly (e.g., for a different printer model or label size), reset these settings and reconfigure using Zebra utilities.

Why do some orders in Shopify still show as unfulfilled and without tracking numbers even after auto-generating and printing shipping labels using the PluginHive app?

Orders with custom (non-active) products do not support automatic fulfillment through the PluginHive app. The app automatically fulfills only those orders that contain active products listed in your Shopify store. If an order contains custom products (products that do not have active listings on Shopify), the label can be generated and printed, but the order will not be marked as fulfilled automatically, nor will the tracking number update automatically in Shopify. To verify whether a product is active or custom: 1. Click the product name in the order. 2. If it redirects to a Shopify product page, it is active. 3. If it does not redirect anywhere, it is a custom product. For orders containing custom products, you must manually fulfill the order in Shopify and enter the tracking number yourself to update the fulfillment status and tracking info.

Why does an order placed on my Shopify store not show up in the PluginHive Shipping app’s Orders or Shipping tab, preventing me from printing a label?

Orders will only appear in the Shipping tab of the PluginHive app once you initiate generating a shipping label for them using the app. If the order is visible in Shopify but not in the Shipping tab, you need to open the order in the PluginHive app and start creating a shipping label. Once you generate the label, the order will be listed under Shipping for further label printing and management.

Why does Google Chrome show a "site is dangerous" warning when accessing PluginHive or printing shipping labels, while other browsers like Microsoft Edge do not show this message?

Google Chrome may display a "site is dangerous" warning due to several possible reasons: 1. SSL Certificate Issues: If PluginHive’s SSL certificate is invalid, expired, or misconfigured, Chrome flags the site as unsafe. 2. Browser Cache or Cookies: Outdated cached data or cookies might cause false security warnings. Clearing the browser cache and cookies related to PluginHive can help. 3. Chrome Security Updates: Recent changes in Chrome’s security databases or updates may trigger false positives. 4. Browser Extensions: Security or ad-blocker extensions can interfere, causing Chrome to misidentify the site as dangerous. 5. Malware or System Security: Malware on the device or overzealous antivirus/firewall settings may lead to warnings. To resolve: – Verify the SSL certificate validity of PluginHive domains. – Clear Chrome browsing data including cache and cookies for PluginHive. – Update Google Chrome to the latest version. – Disable security-related Chrome extensions temporarily to test. – Run a malware scan on your computer. – Report false positives to Google Safe Browsing as needed. – Use alternative browsers like Microsoft Edge while the issue is investigated.

Why does my PluginHive shipping label print my personal name even after leaving the First and Last Name fields empty in the app?

The First Name and Last Name fields in the ShipFrom address are mandatory for generating shipping labels due to FedEx requirements. If left empty in the app settings, the system defaults to using the First and Last Name configured in your Shopify store for printing on the label. To prevent your personal name from being printed: 1. Navigate to App Settings -> Locations -> Default Location. 2. Fill the First Name and Last Name fields with alternative names you want printed instead of your personal name. 3. Generate a new shipping label to see the updated name on the label. 4. Note that completely removing these name fields is not possible since FedEx requires these details for valid shipping labels. However, with the latest app UI you can omit printing the person name as detailed in the previous answer.

Why does Shopify not immediately update the order fulfillment status and tracking info after printing a shipping label via PluginHive, causing orders to appear unfulfilled and labels to auto-cancel?

This issue occurs due to a delay or syncing lag between the PluginHive app generating the shipping label and Shopify updating the order fulfillment status and tracking information. Although normally Shopify should reflect the fulfillment as soon as the label is created in PluginHive, sometimes the update may take several minutes. During this delay, the orders appear unfulfilled in Shopify, causing PluginHive’s system to auto-cancel the shipping label as it checks for fulfillment status and availability. To manage this: 1. Avoid manually fulfilling the orders or adding tracking details directly in Shopify after label creation, as this interferes with PluginHive’s inventory and fulfillment tracking processes. 2. After printing a label in PluginHive, allow some time (a few minutes) for Shopify to automatically update the fulfillment status and tracking information. 3. Monitor the order to see if it fulfills automatically; if the delay extends or auto-cancel issues persist, contact PluginHive support promptly and refrain from manual updates to facilitate troubleshooting.

Why does the label still show as "label generated" and print the old label even after I press unfulfill in Shopify, and is this correct?

If you have manually fulfilled Shopify orders before generating shipping labels with PluginHive, you need to cancel and unfulfill only those manually fulfilled orders in Shopify. When you press unfulfill on these, the old label status may still show temporarily until you regenerate labels through the app. However, if the app itself fulfilled the orders in Shopify, you should not unfulfill those orders manually. To verify who fulfilled the order, check the Shopify order timeline to see if fulfillment was manual or automated by the app. Also, review the auto-canceled labels in PluginHive for order numbers that require manual unfulfillment. After generating new labels via the app, allow some time for label status updates to reflect correctly and new labels to print. This label status delay is normal during high volume periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Why does the shipping label print incorrectly for orders with Hebrew addresses when shipping to Israel?

Shipping labels may print incorrectly if the address contains non-English characters, such as Hebrew. FedEx, the shipping carrier in this case, only supports English characters on shipping labels. The PluginHive app sends the address exactly as provided by the customer, but FedEx generates the label with a printed address that must be in English. Therefore, if the original shipping address includes Hebrew or other non-English characters, the label may appear incorrect or malformed. To avoid this issue, you should update and convert the shipping address to English characters before processing the shipment. This ensures the label is generated and printed correctly.

Why does the shipping label print my personal name above the business name, and how can I prevent this?

The personal name appearing above the business name on your shipping label comes from the First Name and Last Name fields set for your location within the app. To remove this: 1. Go to the PluginHive app settings in your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to the location settings where your fulfillment location is configured. 3. Locate the fields for First Name and Last Name associated with the location. 4. Clear or remove the entries in these fields to prevent your personal name from printing on the label. 5. Save the changes. After this, the shipping label will no longer print your personal name above the business name. If you need further help, please refer to the video tutorial provided in the app resources or contact support.

Why does the shipping label sometimes print with a different rate than the customer-selected shipping option, such as printing a Ground Economy label instead of the selected Home Delivery option?

This occurs because the label generation depends on the source of the shipping option linked to the order: 1. If the shipping option is selected by the customer at checkout and is provided through the app’s calculated carrier rates, the app will use that exact shipping option to generate the label. 2. If the shipping option is added or modified outside the app context, such as in a manually created order or draft order, the app treats that as a custom shipping method. 3. For custom shipping options not originating from the app’s live carrier rates, the app defaults to generating a shipping label with the cheapest available service instead of the customer’s chosen option. Therefore, to ensure the label aligns with the customer’s selection, always use the shipping options enabled and displayed within the app’s carrier services during checkout.

Why is FedEx Ground shipping not showing as an option when trying to print a label, even though it has been added to my account?

FedEx Ground shipping will not appear as an option if your packaging settings are configured to use FedEx express boxes. To resolve this: 1. Go to the app and navigate to Settings. 2. Locate the packaging settings section. 3. If the box packing method is set to use FedEx boxes (which are express boxes), change this setting to use custom boxes (your own boxes instead of FedEx express boxes). 4. FedEx only offers Ground service for shipments packaged in custom boxes, not their express boxes. 5. After updating this setting, try generating the shipping label again, and the FedEx Ground option should be available. Following these steps ensures the correct packaging type is selected, allowing FedEx Ground service to show up when creating labels.

Why is my FedEx shipping label not printing, and how can I resolve the "There are no valid services" error for my shipment address?

The error "There are no valid services" indicates that FedEx cannot recognize the destination address for your shipment. To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Verify the destination address for accuracy, including postal code and format, directly on the FedEx website or portal. 2. Enter the same "From" and "To" addresses manually on the FedEx portal to check if shipping rates and services are available for that destination. 3. If the FedEx portal does not return valid services or cannot recognize the address, correct the address details as necessary or contact FedEx to confirm if the destination is serviceable. 4. Once the address is verified and valid services are found on the FedEx portal, update the address details in PluginHive accordingly. 5. Attempt to generate and print the shipping label again. This verification ensures that PluginHive can retrieve valid FedEx services for the shipment, allowing labels to be generated and printed successfully.

Why is my printer not connecting to print labels and why are labels not generating in the PluginHive app?

If your printer is not connecting and labels are not generating, follow these steps: 1. Check the Image Type setting under App Settings > Documents > Label Settings. If it is set to EPL2, change it to PDF. 2. When the Image Type is set to PDF, there is no need to connect your printer directly to the app. You can use any printer that supports PDF printing. 3. Ensure you are using the new UI of the PluginHive app, as the old UI may not support proper label generation. Switch to the new UI from the app settings. Note that changes will only affect new orders processed after this update. Implementing these steps should resolve label printing and generation issues without requiring a direct printer connection.

Why is my shipping label printing incorrectly and how can I fix it when the customer’s details are in Korean?

Shipping labels generated via the FedEx API must contain characters in English only. Labels with non-English characters, such as Korean, may print incorrectly or not display as expected. To fix this issue, follow these steps: 1. Cancel the incorrectly printed label via your order management system. 2. Edit the customer’s shipping address by converting all details into English characters. 3. Update the shipping address in your system accordingly. 4. Generate a new shipping label with the updated English-only address. This ensures compatibility with FedEx’s API and resolves printing issues related to unsupported characters.

Why is the FedEx document (Page 10) not being generated for the majority of orders during label printing, and should I be concerned about shipping issues because of this?

The FedEx document, along with shipping labels and packing slips, is generated directly by FedEx through their API integration with the PluginHive app. If the FedEx document is not appearing for some orders, it may be due to FedEx’s own document generation rules or the specifics of those shipments. The PluginHive app does not generate these documents independently but relies on FedEx to provide them when necessary. Therefore, you generally do not need to worry about missing FedEx documents causing shipment issues, as all required documents will be generated and sent through FedEx’s system as per their protocols. If you continue to encounter difficulties or missing documents, you should contact support with specific order details for further investigation and assistance.

Why is the FedEx Ground Economy shipping label printing as FedEx Home Delivery despite having the rate set on the order, and how can I ensure the correct shipping service prints on auto-generated labels?

The app generates shipping labels based on the customer-chosen shipping service if it is available at the time of label creation; otherwise, it defaults to the cheapest available service. If FedEx Ground Economy labels are printing as FedEx Home Delivery, it likely means FedEx Ground Economy was not available from the carrier when generating the label. The app’s rate strategy can prioritize services globally but cannot apply different strategies based on order price. The recommended approach is to keep the strategy set to select the cheapest available shipping service to ensure smooth label generation.

Why is the shipping label showing as generated but not available to print for order #5138?

This issue occurs because no packages were actually created for the order within the PluginHive app, even though the order status indicates the label was generated. In this specific case, the problem was triggered by the order being manually fulfilled and then unfulfilled in Shopify, which caused a mismatch in the app’s processing. As a result, when you try to print the label, no printable document is available since the package was never properly registered in the system.

Why were tracking numbers not added to certain orders even though labels were printed, and why can’t the labels be viewed?

If orders are manually fulfilled outside of the PluginHive app before labels are generated, no labels or tracking numbers will be created within the app. In this case, the affected orders were manually fulfilled in Shopify, which prevented the app from generating shipping labels and tracking numbers. Because no labels exist in the app for those orders, label views and tracking information will be unavailable. To ensure tracking numbers are generated and visible, fulfill orders through the PluginHive app shipping workflow without manual intervention prior to label creation.

Why would a shipping label get auto-cancelled in the PluginHive app after being printed?

Shipping labels can get auto-cancelled if the label was generated using a fulfillment location that does not match the one used to fulfill the order in Shopify. The PluginHive system detects this mismatch and automatically cancels the label to prevent discrepancies in shipping records. When auto-cancelled, the label is removed from the order timeline and shipping page. To avoid this, always ensure that the correct fulfillment location is selected when creating shipping labels through the PluginHive app.
