What is the Managed Shipping Program?
Webinterpret has combined the power of AI with shipping operations to help you achieve a higher sales conversion. Webinterpret's intelligent shipping options automatically set the most optimal shipping preferences on your listings and take care of routing, shipping label generation and updating tracking information.
Enable the Managed Shipping Program on your listings to ship easier, faster and sell more!
How it works:
1. Set shipping to your listings: Webinterpret sets the most optimal UPS shipping service for your listings and updates the cost in real time (see Webinterpret Shipping: UPS shipping integration for more information).
2. Import orders: Import orders directly from eBay and Amazon.
3. Print labels: Print shipping documentation in one click. All parcel parameters are automatically prefilled with the Managed Shipping AI.
4. Update tracking on sales channels: Webinterpret automatically sends tracking data to the original sales channel after your parcel has been dispatched.
Eligibility
You can use the Managed Shipping Program if you meet the following eligibility criteria:
- You reside and/or sell from the United Kingdom or the United States (see Eligible countries for Webinterpret Shipping)
- You are subscribed to a Webinterpret pricing plan and have live international listings with Webinterpret
- Item prices do not exceed 2500 GBP/USD
Key benefits
Maximize your sales conversion: Competitive shipping options are intelligently added to your listings to achieve top visibility and sales, generating more international orders with a guaranteed optimal cost.
Unlock more listings for international shipping: Webinterpret can apply intelligent shipping options to unlock more items for listing on international marketplaces (i.e. listings that did not have an eligible international shipping method applied or no international shipping method altogether).
All your orders in one place: Orders received outside of the Managed Shipping Program can still be processed in the Webinterpret Shipping Dashboard (look for the mS icon - Managed Shipping - to identify which orders came from the Managed Shipping Program).

Fulfilling ecommerce orders without the Managed Shipping Program
The Managed Shipping Program is a feature of Webinterpret Shipping, and as such, is optional to use. Sellers are able to synchronize orders from eBay and Amazon, as well as import order files from other ecommerce management providers, and continue to access UPS shipping services without opting into the program.
