Splitting shipping labels for large orders

Topic summary

Main issue: How to ship a single order in multiple boxes and ensure customers are charged the correct shipping.

Key guidance provided:

  • Split the fulfillment and purchase separate shipping labels for the same order. Relevant docs were shared (Split/Merge a fulfillment), with an image showing where to find the “…” menu to split.
  • To charge accurately at checkout, enable carrier-calculated rates and add accurate product weights. Review saved packages, note the default package is used for rate calculations and label purchases, and use markups/discounts to align costs. Run test carts to validate outcomes.

Confusion/points of friction:

  • Some users couldn’t access earlier links or find the screenshot. Later links were said to work, but no step-by-step text was posted in-thread.
  • A user couldn’t find the “…” button to split. Support clarified the option appears when splitting a line item (e.g., more than one of the same product) and requested a screenshot from the user; a support screenshot was provided.

Status:

  • Partial resolution. Guidance and an image were provided, but no in-thread, step-by-step instructions. The discussion remains open pending user confirmation. Images/screenshots are central to understanding the UI steps.

When I follow these directions there is no “…” button to select. I cannot find where to split an order anywhere. Please update this thread again with accurate information and maybe even step by step screenshots. This shouldn’t be so hard.
