Each how-to covers one task or one screen in Zippendo (app.zippendo.com): every field you fill in, every choice and what it does, and the messages you may see. They are not the tutorials. A tutorial walks you through a whole job, such as your first shipment or connecting Shopify. A how-to zooms in on the screens along the way. Use a how-to when you are already on a screen and want to know what a field, a switch or a message means.

Names that are easy to mix up

  • Service point: the shop or parcel locker where the receiver collects a parcel. Some carriers use another name for it in their own fields. See Service points.
  • Webhooks and carrier tracking webhooks: Webhooks send events from Zippendo to your system; Carrier tracking webhooks bring tracking from the carrier into Zippendo.
  • Organization export and dashboard CSV: Export organization data downloads everything your organization has in Zippendo; Export dashboard CSV downloads the dashboard numbers.
  • Hold and Cancel: the shipment page has no Hold or Cancel button, and Zippendo can’t cancel a shipment with the carrier. See Hold, cancel, or delete a shipment.
