# Ship your orders

> How to ship nocnoc orders from Shopify — consolidated shipments vs. individual orders.

When selling on nocnoc via Shopify, you have two ways to ship your orders: **consolidated shipments** (multiple orders in a single master box) or **individual orders** (one package per order). We recommend consolidating whenever possible — it significantly reduces shipping costs and makes your operation easier to scale. Individual shipping is available for specific cases where consolidation isn't practical.

## Scenario 1: Consolidated shipments

<Note>
  This is the **recommended** approach. Consolidating multiple orders into a single master box reduces your shipping costs and is the best way to scale your nocnoc operation.
</Note>

Since nocnoc's internal label isn't sent through the Shopify integration, you'll need to configure a custom packing slip in Shopify to identify each individual package inside the consolidation.

Once your packing slip is configured:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Print the packing slip">
    Print the packing slip from Shopify for each individual order.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach the packing slip">
    Attach the packing slip to each individual package.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pack the master box">
    Place all packages inside the master box.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a carrier label">
    Generate a single carrier label for the master box.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the tracking number">
    Upload the master tracking number to each individual order in Shopify. Every order inside the master box gets this same tracking number — there is no bulk option in Shopify, so each order must be updated one by one.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Shopify does not support bulk tracking uploads. You must open each order individually and enter the master tracking number. All orders inside the same master box share that single tracking number.
</Warning>

This way nocnoc can correctly identify every package inside the consolidation and match it to its tracking.

## Scenario 2: Individual orders

For cases where consolidation isn't possible, you can ship each order separately. No extra setup is needed — nocnoc doesn't require its internal label for individual shipments.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pack the product">
    Pack the product for shipping.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a carrier label">
    Generate a carrier label (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ship the package">
    Ship the package.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the tracking number">
    Upload the tracking number in Shopify.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once the tracking is added, Shopify automatically notifies nocnoc and the order is marked as shipped.
