Add-Delete Products

Help Table of Contents

If you ship the same products over and over again it will be beneficial for you to navigate to the Add-Delete Products Tab in the Shipping Saver application and add your product information to the database. There are benefits that come with adding your products to the Shipping Saver database. When you ship a package, on the Customer-Order View Tab, your specific product or products being shipped will be displayed in the Order Products List. The Shipping Saver application will also keep track of how many products you are selling and alert you when inventory reaches a reorder level that you set. The details of the product information, such as comodity codes, will be very helpful if you ship packages internationally.  The international forms such as commercial invoice and Certificate of Origin will automatically be filled in with your product information.

Adding your own products to the database in order to ship a package is not mandatory. You can just use the default item to ship which is Package or Letter. Please see Choose Item to Ship.
