For assistance with this process, email Rakuten customer support at support@rakutensl.com or contact your Rakuten Super Logistics representative. You will also need to create test orders and have a Rakuten Super Logistics Specialist verify them before you can start using the service in ShipStation.
-
Create the following tags in ShipStation:
RSL-ASSIGNED
RSL-PULLED
The spelling must be the same as shown above for Rakuten Super Logistics to identify the orders and update order statuses as they fulfill them.
If you've never created tags in ShipStation, review our Create and Edit Order Tags article.
-
Select the orders in your Order grid you wish to send and apply the RSL-ASSIGNED tag.
Rakuten Super Logistics will update the order status and apply the RSL-PULLED tag once they fulfill the order.
To have ShipStation automatically apply the RSL-ASSIGNED tag to orders as they import, create an automation rule.
If you have never created an automation rule before, review our automation rules article.
Use the following configuration for your automation rule:
-
Select Only apply these actions to orders that match the specific criteria.
-
Set your criteria.
For example: Marketplace (or store) : Equals : Shopify.
-
Set your action to Add a tag... and select RSL-ASSIGNED from the tag drop-down menu.
-
Save your rule.
Here is an example of how the rule configuration should look:
ShipStation will now automatically apply the tag to any order that imports and matches the criteria in the rule.
