Shipping — fulfillment account, carrier, default weight and routing on the left; warehouses on the right

Fulfillment account

Choose who buys the shipping label:

Orbitra FulfillmentIn effectBuy labels through Orbitra’s connected Shiprocket account. Each label is charged to your Orbitra billing at fulfillment.
My own Shiprocket accountConnect and use your own Shiprocket account. Orbitra buys nothing on this path, so no label is ever charged to you.

The provider is picked first — Shiprocket or ShipStation — and the two cards above are the accounts available under it.

Carrier & defaults

Set an active carrier and service, applied automatically at fulfillment; a green banner at the top of the card states the one in force — here Active preference: Delhivery Surface — Delhivery Surface. Package and Confirmation are both optional: leave Package blank for the carrier default (package, flat_rate_envelope and the like), and Confirmation on Default (carrier decides).

Default package weight is the fallback used when an order’s weight can’t be calculated from your product variant weights — 200 grams on this account.

Warehouses & packages

The right-hand column holds the warehouse list itself. This account has two — Manchester Street (2000 Cross Beam DR, Charlotte, 28217 · US) and Lucknow-old-service (B-42, Gomti Nagar, lucknow, 226020 · IN), marked Default. Add Warehouse adds another.

Package presets sit below them, and are empty here. Without a preset, weight comes from your product variants, then the default package weight above — which is exactly the order the next section describes.

Warehouse routing

Set a default ship-from warehouse per sales channel — Amazon and eBay each have their own row, and both sit on Use the default warehouse here, so both ship from Lucknow-old-service.

How weight is decided for a shipment, in order

  1. 1A matching package presetif one exists for that product/package combination.
  2. 2The product variant’s own weightwhen no preset applies.
  3. 3The default package weight aboveas the final fallback, when neither of the above is available.

How to set up shipping end to end

  1. 1Choose a fulfillment accountOrbitra Fulfillment for simplicity, or your own Shiprocket/ShipStation account if you already have rates negotiated.
  2. 2Pick a carrier and serviceand optionally a package type and confirmation setting.
  3. 3Set a default package weightas a safety net for products missing variant weight.
  4. 4Add your warehouse(s)under Warehouses & packages — mark one as default.
  5. 5Route each channel to a warehouseor leave it on “Use the default warehouse.”
