Enhancements & Upgrades

Returns 2.0 is Here: You Asked, We Listened!

As you know, Shiprocket gives you the ability to accept return requests directly from your tracking page. With this new release, you have an option to get a quality examination of the product provided by your customer at the time of pickup. Not just that, while creating a new return order, you can add the reason for return along with the photographs of your product. This helps in a quick and thorough examination of the product in terms of color, size, condition, etc. 

If you want to get a quality examination for all your returns, please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your Shiprocket account and click on the “Post Ship” tab from your left bar.
2. Here, click on returns from the bottom-right corner of your screen.
3. Now, turn the toggle on if you want to enable a quality check on returns placed by your buyer.

Note: After enabling quality check on your return orders, you’ll only see QC couriers at the time of return initiation. 

Cancel the Shipment, Not the Order

Managing your shipment just got a lot easier! You can now cancel the shipment you don’t want to process, and it will automatically be stored as a new order in the “processing tab”. It saves a lot of effort and time at your end as well. 

With this, we have also updated our statuses in which you can cancel your order. Below is the list of all statuses where you can cancel your shipment: 

• AWB Assigned
• Label Generated
• Pickup Error
• Pickup Exception
• Pickup Generated
• Pickup Rescheduled

New Capabilities in App

We have added various new functionalities to your Shiprocket App, along with the minor fixes and other enhancements. 

• We have integrated with Shadowfax Local and Dunzo to help you deliver orders locally and within a few hours.
• Order creation made super easy! To select a buyer pin code, directly pick it up from the Google Map integrated on your order screen. This feature is highly helpful when it comes to Shiprocket hyperlocal orders.
• You can now add multiple products in a single order with the different unit prices and HSN numbers.
• Now, accept or raise a weight dispute directly from your app.
