Order Creation

How to create orders manually or in bulk on the Shiprocket panel, resolve panel issues, and understand order features

Product Info

Order Statuses

Forward Journey: Pickup Scheduled → Out For Pickup → Picked Up → Shipped → In-Transit → Reached at Destination Hub → Out For Delivery → Delivered → Undelivered

Reverse Journey: RTO Initiated → RTO In-Transit → RTO Reached at Hub → RTO Out For Delivery → RTO Delivered → RTO Undelivered

Key Concepts

  • Dead Weight: The actual physical weight of the package in kilograms. Minimum chargeable weight is 0.5 kg.

  • Volumetric Weight: Calculated as L × B × H / 5000. The higher of dead weight and volumetric weight is used as Applicable Weight for freight charges.

  • Order Tags: Labels assigned to orders for identification and filtering. Multiple tags can be added per order.

  • MPS (Multi-Packet Shipment): Available for Delhivery only. Allows up to 20 packets (1 Master + 19 Child AWBs) with a combined max weight of 1,000 kg. Minimum chargeable weight is 10 kg. Works for manual orders only — not for channel integration orders.

  • Self-Fulfilled Orders: Shipments managed directly by the seller instead of using Shiprocket courier partners.

  • Quick Shipment: A shorter version of the single order creation process for domestic shipments only.

Order Creation Options

Two modes available:

  • Single Order: Fill in all fields manually — pickup address, delivery details, product details, payment method, package details, and optional other details.

  • Bulk Order: Upload an Excel or CSV file using a downloaded template (Advance Excel, Basic Excel, or CSV format). Upload file → check errors → fix and re-upload if needed → ship from Processing tab.
