Creating and printing labels

Step 1 — Select order(s)

You have two options for how to start:

• From the Orders list: Check one or more orders you want to create labels for.
• From a single order detail: Open the order you want to process.

Step 2 — Open More Actions

• In the Orders list (one or more orders selected): Click the ⋯ (three dots) button to open the actions menu.
• On a single order detail page: Click the More Actions button at the top of the page.

Step 3 — Create Shipping Labels

In the actions menu, select Create Shipping Labels.

This opens the Globe label creation panel where you can review and confirm the order details and select the appropriate service type for each shipment.

Step 4 — Export to carrier

Use the carrier export option to send the shipment data to your chosen carrier. This generates the shipping label on the carrier’s side.

Step 5 — Print labels

Once the export is complete, the shipping labels are ready. Print labels for individual or multiple orders directly from the panel.

Advanced: Overriding export values with order metafields

Advanced feature

This is not needed for most merchants. It is intended for stores with specific requirements around declared values, customs, multi-currency reporting, or COD overrides.

Globe reads order metafields with namespace globe to override the values used during label export. When present, a metafield takes highest priority — above the label creation panel and carrier defaults.

Supported metafields

Namespace: globe

Key	Shopify type	Description
order_weight	Weight	Package weight.
order_value	Decimal	Declared shipment value.
currency	Single-line text	Currency code (e.g. EUR, CZK). Overrides the Shopify currency.
cod_value	Decimal	Cash on Delivery amount. Set to 0 to suppress auto-detected COD.
content_description	Single-line text	Description of goods for customs declarations (e.g. Eshop products).

Priority chain (highest to lowest): metafield → configured defaults → Shopify order data.

Setting metafields

Set metafields directly on the order via the Shopify admin Custom data section, or automatically using Shopify Flow with the Update order metafield action. Flow supports dynamic values via its variable syntax, making it suitable for rule-based overrides based on destination country, product tags, shipping method, or other order properties.

Troubleshooting & best practices

• Ensure your API credentials and sender information are correct
• Test with a small number of orders before bulk operations
• For any issues, consult the carrier-specific documentation or contact support
