Getting started
Welcome
How this Support Center works and the fastest path to a working setup.
Welcome
This Support Center mirrors the ShipManta app menus. Whatever screen you are on, the matching section here explains its purpose, every control, and step-by-step usage.
How to use these docs
- Look at the top menu in ShipManta — Dashboard, Orders, Shipments, and so on.
- Open the matching section in the left navigation here.
- Each section starts with an Overview (what it is, statuses, concepts), followed by task guides (Search, Filters, Tags, Labels, …).
- Use header search when you only remember a keyword — “void”, “merge”, “ZPL”, “picked up”.
What ShipManta does
ShipManta turns your Shopify store into a fulfillment workspace:
- Orders sync in from Shopify — the what was bought
- Shipments are the boxes your team packs — read Orders vs Shipments before the first label
- Labels are purchased from your connected carriers
- Apps add checkout delivery dates, shipping prices, and rate shopping
First-time checklist
- Create an account and sign in
- Connect a Shopify store
- Confirm the subscription if prompted — see Profile & billing
- Add a warehouse under Advanced → Warehouses (ship-from address)
- Connect a carrier
- Check Orders → Awaiting and Shipments → Awaiting for synced data
- Set the label format for your printers
- Invite your team with the right roles
Stuck on setup? Open the sparkles assistant at the bottom right (when enabled) and ask what to do next, or email hello@shipmanta.com. See AI assistants.
