Shipper 1.4 Now Available

Shipper and Shipper Service 1.4 are now available to automate DHL, FedEx, UPS, and USPS shipment processing for StoreFront, BVC2004, and BVC5 stores.

New Carrier Support

Shipper now supports UPS WorldShip 9.0 beta 1 in addition to UPS WorldShip 8.0.

Shipper now supports Galaxy Ship 4.5. Shipper 1.4 will not integrate completely with previous versions of Galaxy Ship. You can download the latest version of Galaxy Ship from http://www.endicia.com/endicia-usa/hot/galaxyusersguide.cfm.

Shipper now imports the shipment Order Number to the DHL Reference field in DHL EasyShip Connect.

Please see the System Requirements page for a complete list of supported carrier software.

New Online Store Support

Shipper now supports BV Commerce 5 in addition to BV Commerce 2004 and StoreFront 6.0.

Two new fields are now included in the shipment data: OrderID and UserData. Using the OrderID, you can build a link to the order edit page of your site. Using the UserData field and an advanced filter, you can add your own custom field(s) to the shipment information which you can then export to your carrier software. See the new userdata.xslt sample in the Shipper Service xslts folder.

User Interface Enhancements

Two new print formats will help you prepare shipments: Pull Sheet and Pull Sheet Details. Pull Sheet lists the total number of each unique item in the selected shipments. Pull Sheet Details adds the individual quantities for each order including the quantity for each variation.

A new Display Count feature lets you decide how many shipments to include in the Print Preview. Previous versions of Shipper fixed this limit at 100 to ensure fast response time. You can now choose a value between 25 and all shipments. A new tool bar is displayed above the Print Preview Pane to make adjustments to Print Format and Display Count even easier.

Two new features now let you easily move shipments between folders:

• Drag and drop shipments from the Shipments Pane to a folder in the Views Pane. For example you can drag a shipment from the UPS WorldShip folder to the Endicia Galaxy folder.
• Select one or more shipments and then select Edit > Move to Folder from the Shipper menu or the shipments context menu.

Directly access Store Settings from the store's context menu or by selecting a store and then choosing Edit > Store Settings from the Shipper menu.

Send/Receive shipments from a single store by choosing Send/Receive Only from the store's context menu.

Previous versions of Shipper did not reflect changes made to a shipment in the store if the shipment was already prepared for carrier processing. Now a conflict will be generated with the changes identified so that you can decide if the changes affect how you want to process the shipment.

Release Notes

1. If you install Shipper 1.4 on your computer, you must also install Shipper Service 1.4 on your web site(s). Similarly, if you install Shipper Service 1.4 on your web site, then you must install Shipper 1.4 on your computer.
2. Shipper 1.4 will attempt to copy any custom print formats from previous versions of Shipper. However, this only works if Shipper can find them. If your custom print formats are not displayed in the File > Print Formats menu you will need to manually copy them to the new installation directory.
3. The new shipment fields (e.g. OrderID and UserData) will not appear in shipments that you have already prepared for processing. To force the new fields to appear select Tools > Options from the Shipper menu, then select the Application Data tab and click on the Delete Offline Data button. The new fields will be included the next time you run Send/Receive.
4. In Shipper 1.3.6, the IEmailHelper.SendMail method took an integer value as the first parameter. In Shipper 1.4, the first parameter is now a string.
