    }
  }
]

Getting started

Before running a Medusa please remember to set your SHIPPO_API_TOKEN in configuration.

After plugin installation, you can go to one of your orders and you will see additional UI element at the bottom.

You have there two tabs - Shipping and Return.

Shipping

This tab is used for creating a shipping label to send your items to customer.

Before that, you need to create a fulfillment using Create fulfillment option, which is visible above (it is a part of default Admin UI functionalities).

After creating a fulfillment, you can choose such fulfillment from the list and the label configuration will be automatically filled by the items which you have chosen in fulfillment. For your convenience, also the weight is calculated, so you have all information needed to generate a label.

Return

This tab is used for creating a return label which can be used by your customer.

Before that, you need to create a return using Create return option, which is available on the right sidebar (it is a part of default Admin UI functionalities).

After creating a return, you can choose such return from the list and the label configuration will be automatically filled.

NOTE: Shippo Elements does not provide ability to change sender address from API level. It means that you need to do manually through Shippo Elements. Please remember to switch addresses for the returns.

Configuration

Weight unit

By default Shippo Elements are using g (Gram) as the weight unit. If you would like to change it, you have 4 options:

• 'g'
• 'kg'
• 'oz'
• 'lb'

To apply other weight unit, please export environment variable called MEDUSA_ADMIN_SHIPPO_WEIGHT_UNIT. For example: export MEDUSA_ADMIN_SHIPPO_WEIGHT_UNIT='oz'
