The ShipLeap Batch upload feature allows you to create labels for several addresses at the same time. This works well if your client sends you a CSV file that contains addresses you have to print labels for each line item.
First, click on the the BATCH tab.
You can upload a file that contains all your shipping addresses by clicking on the UPLOAD SHIPMENTS button and selecting the file. Reference this article to get the file format https://shipleap.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/48001080247
Once you do that successfully, you'll see something like the screen below:
Click on the blue "Get Rates" button on the bottom right to start seeing some rate information. You'll see a screen like this below.
You'll notice that there is a column (3rd from the right) that shows shopping carts with different colors. If the color is greener, it means you have a relatively good price. If the color is more red, then the the price is not so great.
Let's see if we can improve the color on the last item (currently red). Click on the 2nd line item and you'll see a screen like this:
From here, you can make changes to the current shipment if needed. Instead, let's click on the SHOP tab located right next to the SHIPMENT tab towards the top right. You will only be able to shop AFTER you have pressed the GET RATES button.
The lowest rate, fastest rate, and recommended rate will be options for you. If you click on the recommended rate (top right), then that service will be selected. You can select any price on this list. The transit time and price is listed there.
When you are done, click on the left arrow (towards the top left) to go back to the list of shipments. The price is now the best, so the color of the cart has changed from yellow to green.
From here, you can place orders to start the label creation process. Notice the charges listed bottom center. You are authorizing the purchasing of the labels once you press the blue button.
Here are the carriers names and services you can use in the file https://shipleap.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/48001161179
USE ANOTHER ACCOUNT (3rd PARTY)
(OPTIONAL) You can print labels in batch and charge the client's account (Third Party). If you select that service, you will only be able to print labels for 1 carrier in a file. In other words, the entire CSV file will have to be sent using the carrier UPS (for example).
GROUPING
(OPTIONAL) You can click on the right to GROUP BY the reference1, reference2, or invoice number. EXAMPLE: Say there are 5 boxes that all are going to the same place but the addresses are not grouped in a file with several other addresses. You can setup the labels (Box 1 of 5) by grouping by reference1, reference2 or invoice. The addresses must all be the same and the group by field must match.
