Write-Back

 

When you process a shipment, StarShip creates a Magento shipment and writes the tracking information back to the Magento Order. Additional notes can also be written back to the Comments on the Order, if enabled in Write-Back settings.

 

 

Settings

  1. Select Setup > Source Interface > eCommerce.
  2. Click Customize Interface, and select Magento Order under My Interface (or your custom interface name).
  3. Click the Write-Back Setup button.







  4. Under Notes Settings, check the "Write the information below to the Magento Order when a parcel shipment is processed in StarShip" setting to have StarShip write the notes in the grid back to the Comments on the Order. You can select Freight Shipments or Parcel Shipments to view or modify the notes that will write back to the Magento Order.



    Modifying the Notes

By default, Notes DO NOT write back to the Order. The setting is unchecked. If you enable Notes Write-Back, be aware that due to a Magento limitation, Notes that are written back to the Order by StarShip cannot be removed when the shipment is voided.

Order Information

 

Status

When an order is fully shipped, StarShip will set the Order Status to "Complete"

 




Carrier Information

Shipping & Handling Information is updated in the Payment & Shipping Method.


 

 

Comments

The Notes that are set up in StarShip Write-Back Setup are written back to the Order Comments and the Comments History.

 

 

 

Shipments

 

Shipment is created

A Magento shipment is created each time you ship against an Order.

 

 

Partial Shipments

For multiple shipments against the same Order, a separate shipment is created for each one in Magento.

When you only partially ship items from an Order, StarShip will change the order status to "Processing". Items that were shipped are marked as "Shipped". When the remaining items are shipped, StarShip will append the new shipment information to the Comments section (if Notes write-back is enabled) and mark the entire order as "Complete".


 

 

 

Both sets of Notes are appended to the Order Comments and Comments History.





 

Tracking Number

The tracking number is written back to the Payment & Shipping Method, under Shipping and Tracking information.

Note : If you change the imported Shipping Method in StarShip and ship with a different carrier/service than originally on the Order, the carrier/service is updated in the Carrier grid but not under the "Track this shipment" link.
