The process to create shipping labels on Shopify can disrupt your workflow and consume valuable time.Businesses handling hundreds of monthly shipments face a significant challenge when they constantly switch between different tabs and platforms. Your Shopify store's connection to FedEx helps automate shipping tasks, reduce errors, and improve operations.

Multi-Tab Switching

Switching between multiple tabs quietly drains productivity for e-commerce businesses. Your time and energy slip away with every extra click and tab change while handling order fulfillment.

The problem with traditional workflows

Shopify's traditional shipping label creation method breaks your focus and wastes time. The process starts in your Shopify admin panel. You switch to a carrier website, manually type order details, download the label, go back to Shopify, change the order status, and let the customer know. A few orders might seem easy to handle this way, but these inefficiencies grow faster as your business expands.

Picture yourself processing hundreds of orders each day:

• Tab switching wastes precious time
• Manual data entry causes mistakes 
• Orders become harder to track 

New team members face unnecessary challenges with this scattered process. They must learn multiple platforms instead of mastering a single system.

How a no-tab-switch setup boosts efficiency

Sendoship's no-tab-switch approach revolutionizes your shipping label creation process. FedEx shipping integrates directly with your Shopify dashboard, so you never have to leave your store admin.

Daily time savings add up – Creating shipping labels without switching tabs saves 30 seconds per order. Businesses handling 100 daily orders save 50 hours a month, which equals more than a week's worth of work.  

Better accuracy means fewer returns – Shipping information flows directly from Shopify orders, eliminating typing errors. Packages more often reach the correct addresses, which reduces customer service issues.  

Easier training and operations – Team members learn one interface, which makes onboarding quick and shipping operations simpler.

A tab-switch-free system does more than just offer convenience. It creates a simpler fulfillment process that scales with your business without demanding more time and focus.
