ShipStation is updating how we map some carrier confirmation types to better conform with the carrier requirements. If you have set up presets or automation rules that set a shipment's confirmation type, you need to update these, so the confirmation type provides the expected outcome.
The following carriers are affected:
-
Sendle (US & AU)
-
Royal Mail (UK)
Review the table below to see how ShipStation maps your confirmation.

Shipments in Awaiting Shipment
Existing shipments in Awaiting Shipment that have the affected confirmation types set will need to be reset manually or by reprocessing automation rules after you have updated the rules.
You can manually update your confirmation types in two ways: individually or in bulk.
Update individual orders: Open the Order Details to see the confirmation types available for the selected carrier in the Configure Shipment Widget.
Bulk update orders: Choose your orders in the Orders grid, select the Bulk Update drop-down, and then select Confirmation.
The carrier confirmation types will be listed under the Select a Confirmation Type drop-down. Click Update Selection.
Review the Configure Shipping article to learn how to change shipping options for individual and multiple orders.
To update your confirmation types in your presets, select the Other Actions button in the Orders grid and choose Manage Presets.
Click Edit next to your preset and change the Shipping Options for Confirmation, then Save Changes. Read more on editing a preset.
To change the confirmation type for a rule, go to the Automation Rules settings.
Click Edit from the Action menu next to the rule in the Automation Rules settings window.
Change the Request Confirmation action in the drop-down to the new confirmation type, then click Save Rule. Learn more about creating and editing automation rules.
