Frequently asked questions

How to rate shop between specific services?
VESYL allows customers to rate shop not just for the lowest possible rate, but also between specific services.
To accomplish this, create an automation where the "Do This" Action is "Set Lowest Rate." Then, select the services you would like to rate shop between such as FedEx 2 Day and UPS 2nd Day Air.
This can be helpful if you want to exclude a service from the Rate Shop, as opposed to rate shopping "All Carriers and Services."

How to create automation rules?
Automations can help with a variety of different tasks, from setting shipping services, box sizes and weights, to setting prices in the VESYL Rate Shop so that labels can be generated and printed with minimal manual work.
If an order has multiple automations, the last one it hits will override the others.
Automation Rules are created on simple If/Then Statements. Set your criteria (If) at the top and your action (Then) at the bottom. You can set as many criteria and actions as you would like.

How to set a residential flag with automations?
To distinguish between Residential or Business addresses when importing orders. Start by creating an automation.
The "Condition" for the automation can often be "Is Domestic=True." The "Action" in the Automation will be "Set Verified Destination Address as Residential."
This action will set the Residential Flag to either be True or False based on the result of the address validation. You will want this automation to run before any automations that set shipping services in order to correctly set a rate.

Ivy City saves $1+ per order with VESYL
"The VESYL Rate Shop resulted in significant savings over our previous software. Our warehouse was doing over 150k orders a year using ShipStation. We knew by not having rate shopping capabilities, we were losing out on potential savings.
Since we switched to VESYL, we are saving on average more than $1 per order, now that we can rate shop and automate the system to choose the lowest cost shipping method.
It is very easy to integrate with our other software solutions. We ship hundreds of orders every day now, with very few problems."
