Enter the Shipment ID.

ConnectBooks will spread the fee across all products in the shipment based on the number of units shipped.
Add shipment fees using Excel
You can also import many shipment fees at once using Excel.
On the By Shipment tab, click Import.
Click Sample Template to download it.
Fill in the columns:
Shipment (required)
Amount (required)
Fee Name (required)
Sku (optional)
Upload the file and click Import.
If you leave the Sku column blank, ConnectBooks spreads the fee across all products in the shipment based on the number of units shipped. If you enter a SKU, the fee goes only to that product.
Note: Shipment fees are used for reporting only. They do not create accounting entries or export to your accounting software.
