After submitting your information, ShipHero will send a verification email to the address you provided. Open the email and click the verification link to confirm your account.
Set Up Your Account
Once your email is verified, log in to your new ShipHero account. You’ll be guided through an onboarding process where you can set up your company profile, add your warehouse locations, and configure your shipping preferences.
Connect Your Sales Channels
ShipHero integrates with popular e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and others. In your ShipHero dashboard, navigate to the integrations section and connect your online stores by following the prompts. This allows ShipHero to automatically import your orders and sync inventory.
Add Products and Inventory
You can add products manually or import them in bulk using a CSV file. Make sure to include product details such as SKUs, descriptions, weights, and dimensions. If you already have inventory in your warehouse, update the stock levels in ShipHero to ensure accurate tracking.
Set Up Shipping and Fulfillment Preferences
Configure your shipping carriers, rates, and rules within the ShipHero platform. You can set default shipping methods, add carrier accounts (like UPS, FedEx, USPS), and define how orders should be fulfilled.
Test the System
Before going live, it’s recommended to run a few test orders. This helps ensure that your integrations, inventory, and shipping settings are working correctly. ShipHero provides tools to simulate orders and check the fulfillment workflow.
Start Fulfilling Orders
Once everything is set up, ShipHero will automatically import new orders from your connected sales channels. You can manage picking, packing, and shipping directly from the ShipHero dashboard. The system will update order statuses and tracking information back to your sales channels.
Seek Assistance if Needed
If you need assistance during setup, you can contact ShipHero support through their website for guidance and troubleshooting.
