Unlock domestic parcel shipping without paying a dime in licensing fees—meet Order Ship Express for Business Central.
If you ship parcels and you’re using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, then there’s one question you need to ask yourself: Why are you still manually creating shipping labels on carrier websites? Order Ship Express is a license-free, easy-to-configure shipping tool that integrates directly into Business Central, making domestic parcel shipping fast, efficient, and best of all—free.
Whether you’re sending out customer orders once a week or managing daily shipments from your warehouse, Order Ship Express is designed for simplicity and cost savings. Here’s how to get started and why it’s worth your attention.
What Is Order Ship Express?
Order Ship Express is a shipping app designed for Dynamics 365 Business Central users who only need to ship parcels domestically. It connects to up to three carriers of your choice (including USPS, UPS, DHL Express, and others), via the EasyPost connector so you can access built-in discounted carrier rates or your own carrier-linked accounts.
Key highlights:
- No license cost – it’s completely free.
- Supports up to three carriers.
- Perfect for domestic shipping from any supported country.
- Built for quick setup and ease of use.
- Generates shipping and return labels right from the Sales Order.
Getting Started Is Easy
Once connected, you’ll define defaults for dimensions and weight units and optionally add markup rates if you want to make a little margin on shipping.
Create Labels Directly from Sales Orders
You can generate shipping labels straight from the Sales Order screen in Business Central. After selecting your shipping agent (e.g., UPS Ground), simply enter package dimensions and weights, then click Get Rate to calculate freight costs.
Need extra shipping options? You can specify delivery confirmation type, payment method (e.g., third-party billing), and references—all from a convenient popup window.
When ready, click Get Label to generate and print your shipping label. Thanks to Business Central’s print integration, you can even route labels to thermal printers using PrintNode.
Track and Manage Shipments
After labels are created, you can easily view, reprint, or refund them from the Order Ship Express Packages screen. It displays labels by document number, status, and carrier—making it easy to track what’s shipped, what’s returned, and what’s pending.
The Output: A Clean, Professional Label
Whether printing to a thermal printer or just previewing in PDF, the generated labels meet carrier requirements and include tracking numbers, delivery info, and barcode data.
Why It’s a Smart Choice
Order Ship Express is ideal for:
- Companies that ship domestically and don’t need complex freight or international support.
- E-commerce merchants using Shopify or other platforms who want to streamline fulfillment.
- Cost-conscious businesses looking to eliminate license fees while improving shipping accuracy and speed.
