Create Custom Shipments

You may encounter situations where you need to handle orders outside your regular processes. For instance, you may need to fulfill prizes for customers or send gifts and supplies to your employees. Such orders do not follow the usual path through your OMS, so they are not automatically visible on Delivery Hub. Furthermore, they require less data since they are separate from your sales records.

You can send these shipments using Delivery Hub by creating a custom shipment. This automatically creates the connected orders and fulfillments.

If you need access to the custom shipments feature, contact your administrator or Bringg customer service representative.

Before You Begin

• Confirm you have the Admin or Packer user type.
• Gather the required data:
  • Package type
  • Product quantity and price (for commercial invoices)
  • Recipient details

Enter Source IDs

(Optional) Enter Order Source ID, Fulfillment Source ID, and Shipment Source ID.
Entering source IDs lets you update this shipment and the connected order and fulfillment via specific API endpoints. It also allows you to add this order to other systems using the same reference, such as for inventory tracking.
