Vendor-facing shipment request

A Shipwell platform user will initiate a Shipment Request by entering a vendor’s email address and PO #.

This initiation will prompt an email to the vendor. The email will state the user’s company that requested the shipment creation, and will indicate the PO # for the request.

To create the shipment, click on the blue “Create Shipment” button.

This will bring the recipient to a webpage to fill out the necessary details.
