Allmoxy provides integrations with UPS and FedEx to help you calculate shipping costs with these major shipping carriers. Additionally, Allmoxy provides custom shipping methods, allowing you to determine your own costs if you have your own delivery trucks!
Will Call:
Shipping Settings start with dictating your Ship From/Will Call Zip.
Designating this address will provide you with a precise tax calculation for all of your will call orders.
Carrier Integrations:
To utilize the UPS or FedEx, input your account credentials and follow the instructions in Allmoxy to provide the necessary information to complete the integration. These integrations send a total order weight to the carrier, which then determines a shipping price based on that weight and the method: Ground, Express, Overnight, etc.
The shipping_price variable is the variable that should be used to pull a calculated price from UPS or FedEx.
Allmoxy only sends the total order weight to the carrier. Carriers typically use weight, height, width, and depth to calculate a price accurately. Take this into consideration when customizing your carrier pricing.
Custom Shipping Methods:
If you have your own delivery trucks or prefer not to use the shipping integrations, you can create your own custom shipping methods! There are several variables available for you to customize a shipping formula, including:
- quantity (total number of items on the order)
- distance (this uses Google Maps to route between your ship from address and the customer's delivery address)
- price (total order price)
- weight (total order weight)
Additionally, you can use round, floor, or ceiling to even off the price calculation.
To ensure the most accurate sales tax calculations, Allmoxy will automatically use the Ship From/Will Cal address as the default for all From Addresses in your custom shipping methods. You can add additional addresses to your company if you need the From Address to reference another address.
Some tax jurisdictions allow you to charge shipping tax on shipping methods that meet certain criteria. If you believe that your shipping methods should always be taxable, contact your customer success manager.
If you need help configuring your shipping price formulas, you can contact your Customer Success Manager! If you have complex shipping price calculations, our integration team can write these formulas for you.
Whitelist and Blacklist Shipping Methods:
Filter which customers can view or not view specific shipping methods. This option is great if you need to filter by certain delivery zones or regions. Use tags to determine which customers have visibility on shipping methods.
Shipping Report:
Reports ➡️Production ➡️ Shipping
Use the shipping report to mark orders shipped and have visibility on orders expected to ship out. The sidebar filters allow you to filter by ship date, order status, shipping method, and order tags. Find the order you want to mark shipped. Use the status column to learn more about the status of the order:
🚚 = Click on the truck to mark the order shipped. This will fire any set triggers and also add the invoice to the Export Invoices Queue.
💵 = Payment is still needed to ship this order. This icon will appear if the customer has any orders past due, not just the order in the shipping report.
❗= Some items on the order have not been marked completed. Labor process tracking is required for this information to be accurate. Click on the❗to see a Completion Checklist showing any items that have not been marked completed via the scanning station. If you try to ship an order that has not been completed, a popup modal will ask you to confirm that you want to ship the order.
B2B Dropshipping:

If you've set up a B2B connection with a supplier and you want your supplies to ship directly to your customers, you'll need to set up B2B dropshipping!
First, you'll need to turn on the dropshipping setting in your B2B Settings.
Once turned on, your supplier's shipping methods will be available in the Shipping section of the order. If your customer has both local (native) products and B2B products, they'll need to choose a shipping method for both suppliers. This will indicate to customers that you are sourcing some of your products from the supplier.
