7. Select the Shipments tab and click the Defaults - USPS (Express1) link to select defaults to be applied to every Express1 shipment (including specifying an origin address, hiding postage, using a specific service, insurance, and so on).

8. The Printing screen allows you to specify whether or not ShipWorks should automatically print your shipping labels after processing and to configure how ShipWorks handles the printing of your labels.

Return Labels: If you will be automatically generating return shipping labels to include in your shipments and you wish for the return labels to automatically be printed, check the box for Automatically print return shipping labels after processing.

We recommend leaving the default settings for the remainder of the options on this screen.

9.Select the Tasks tab and modify settings associated with your Express1 account.

(a) Click the Email Accounts button to configure an email account to use in ShipWorks. (ShipWorks can use these email settings to automatically send emails with shipment details to your customers.)

(b) Use the drop-down menu to modify the order status you want to apply to your order after processing / voiding. Please note: Local Status is a value that is only used within ShipWorks, and never uploaded to your online cart. ShipWorks uses these statuses to direct the workflow of your shipments (shipped, voided, backordered). Local status is not the same as online status (the customer-facing information that appears in your online cart). Unless you have an elaborate custom setup, we recommend using the default settings.
