Save Time From Manually Fulfiling Orders
While Interparcel already improves fulfilment using a centralised platform, some small tasks can still take up a bit of time as your order volume grows.
For instance, after importing your orders, you still need to do other tasks such as...
- Manually selecting couriers and options for each order
- Select transit warranty options one by one
- Adjust any secondary pickup locations
Automate Your Workflow with Interparcel Rule Manager
Interparcel Rule Manager allows you to create specific conditions for order imports, applying rules automatically based on your preferences.
With just a few steps, these rules automate your shipping process, allowing you to fulfil orders at the click of a button.
- Reduces Manual Processes: Automated rules eliminate repetitive tasks, saving hours on order processing.
- Customisable & Scalable Rules: Create unlimited rules to suit different orders, destinations, and platforms.
- Minimises Human Error: Automation ensures accuracy, reducing errors and boosting customer satisfaction.

Here’s how to start:

- Add a New Rule: Name your rule, set a condition from the list, and choose the action to apply when that condition is met.

For detailed instructions, check out our Rule Manager guide.
Start Creating RulesSet your Conditions and Actions
A 'Condition' tells the Rule Manager what to look for when an order is imported into the Interparcel system, such as the destination country, postcode, or selected SKU’s.
An 'Action' is the change applied to your imported order - for example, selecting a specific courier service, and adding transit cover, or changing the pickup address.
Start Creating Rules
Examples of rules that can be set via Rule Manager
Example 1 - Ship all parcels to the USA using UPS Express Saver
If you love using UPS Express Saver to send your parcels to the USA, then set this rule to save time when importing your orders:
- CONDITION: Delivery Country = USA
- ACTION: Service = UPS Express Saver
Example 2 - Add transit cover to all Etsy items with UK delivery
Most of our services allow you to purchase additional transit cover if the item value exceeds the amount of free cover included. To ensure all your imported Etsy orders add extra transit cover, you would set this rule:
- CONDITION 1: Shipping Platform = Etsy
- CONDITION 2: Delivery Country = UK
- ACTION: Transit Cover = Add Transit Cover
Example 3 - Send all Shopify items over 5kg from a different collection address
Ship from multiple locations? Set an alternative pick-up address for orders from a specific ecommerce platform over a certain weight.
- CONDITION 1: Shipping Platform = Shopify
- CONDITION 2: Parcel Weight = is greater than 5kg
- ACTION: Ship From Address = [select one of your saved collection addresses]
