3. Smart Shipping
What is smart shipping?
Smart shipping is a shipping method in which the seller directly packages the product and sends it to a courier or QX fulfillment center. We recommend this method for sellers who sell products that have low sales volume or are difficult to keep in stock.
When registering an order in Smartship, there are two ways to link it using the API or register it manually. Please check the guide below for more details.
3-1. How to register API integration order
API integration order registeration steps
Create API KEY for each sales site > Register sales site API > API order integration > Print shipping label > Request pick up
This is a method of automatically importing orders for each sales site by registering the API KEY provided by each sales site to the smart ship. If you register an API for each sales site, you can set it so that orders from the sales site where sales occurred are automatically registered in Smart Ship. If you do not want the order to be automatically registered, you can set it up individually by referring to the API integration setup page guide.
You can check how to link each sales site API through the link below.
Please check the guide below for details.

This is a shipping method in which Qxpress ships a product with a registered SKU once it is in stock at the Qx warehouse and the product is sold.
Before using fulfillment shipping, you must register the product you are selling in the sales site as an SKU. After completing SKU registration, you must ship it to the Qx warehouse. Incoming products are stored in the Qx warehouse, and the fulfillment order registered by the seller is confirmed by Qx before being shipping to the buyer. There is no need for the seller to print a shipping label and request pickup.
Fulfillment order processing sequence
Register/confirm fulfillment order > Assign to Qxpress Fulfillment
(Preparation: SKU registration > QFC warehousing)
Sellers only need to register orders, and those who register orders through API integration only need to register items when set to automatic. Please note that in order to be able to ship normally, you must restock in advance to avoid running out of stock in the future.

Bulk registration through Excel

The Excel upload function can be executed by selecting “Inventory > SKU Management” from the Smartship menu, entering the SKU management page, and then clicking the [Upload Excel] button at the top right of the screen.

What is the difference between CSV and XLSX?
The template for entering product information can be downloaded from the upper right corner of the upload pop-up window. There is a [CVS format download] button and a [XLSX format download] button. Generally, people use XLSX files.
Some Excel versions cannot recognize more than 60,000 rows in one file, so if the data size is very large, please register using the CSV file format.
Fill out the template
Enter the information below in the downloaded template.
1.
Item Description [Required]: Enter the product name.2.
Option Description: Enter the option name. For single products without options, you do not need to enter them.

Currency [Required]: Enter the currency code using three digit alphabetic characters. (e.g. Korean Won = KRW, US Dollar = USD, Japanese Yen = JPY, etc.)The order of each field in the template is important when uploading Excel. If you arbitrarily change the order of each column in Excel, it will not be registered correctly after uploading, so please keep the order of the fields as they are in the original form.
Register Product through Page
Path : Inventory > SKU Management
You can register products by entering them one by one through the SKU management page. The SKU management page provides an option creation tool that allows you to quickly and easily register list-type and combination-type options, so if the number of products you want to register is not large, product registration through the page may be easier and faster.

•
Tax type : You can set tax types for products defined by SKU. (‘Unknown’, ‘Taxable’, ‘Non-taxable’)
How to Register Seller Defined Code
Why register a seller defined code?
In order to recognize an order from an sales sites as a fulfillment shipment, the system must know which SKU in the QFCs is matched with the sold product. Typically, this matching is done using the “Seller Code” field on the product on the sales site.
Most sales sites have a field to enter a separate code such as “SKU”, “Seller Product Code”, or “Seller Management Code” when registering a product/option. The value registered here can be the SKU number (of Smartship), or you can register your own seller management code and then register the same code value to the corresponding Smartship SKU.
•
Using Smartship SKU number in management code of product on sales site
•
Using seller management code to a Smartship SKU
You must choose one of these two methods to register your information.
This seller management code is entered into the product in the case of a single product, but is entered into each option in the case of an optional product.
E.g.)1: Tmon option management – “Product Management Code”
E.g.)2: “Seller product number” in Interpark’s product management
Enter the SKU Number in the Seller Defined Code of the Sales Site’s Product
If you do not define and use a separate seller defined code for the product you are selling, you can just use the SKU number as the defined code. The SKU number can be checked directly in the SKU number column in the inquiry grid of the SKU management page.
Even in the case of a single product, a SKU number is created for actual stock management, so you can use this information as is. Usually, the SKU number of a single product is ‘-00001’ followed by the product number (12 digits starting with 7 or 9).
Register this SKU number as the management code for each product/option on the product management page of the sales site.
How to Register a Seller Management Code to a Smartship SKU
If you use a separate management code, a unique management code is usually registered in the product information on the sales site. This means that there is no space left for the SKU number on the product on your sales site. In this case, just register the seller defined code in the Smartship SKU.
On Smartship, in the case of a single product, there is an item called “Seller Defined Code” in the representative product information. In case of a multi-option product, the field is present in each option information tab. Register your seller management code here.
When registering in bulk using Excel file upload, you can register by entering the seller management code for each SKU in the “Seller’s SKU Code” column.
[Single product]
For a single product, you can edit product information by selecting the product row and representative option row.
