Every step of the daily shipping routine, from the CSV export to tracking numbers landing back in Shopify.
Instant Ship! for Click Post bulk-exports your Shopify order data as a Click Post CSV, then reads the tracking numbers off the printed label PDF and writes them back to the matching Shopify orders.
There is nothing to configure. The app is ready to use the moment it is installed.
The app costs USD 8.00 per month, and the first 10 days are free — every feature is open to you during the trial.
The app has two main screens. Switch between them from the navigation at the top.
Lists your unfulfilled orders and exports the ones you select as a CSV file.
Upload the label PDF you printed through Click Post, and the tracking numbers are registered to the matching Shopify orders automatically.
How the Label Issue screen works.
Open the screen and your unfulfilled orders are listed straight away, with the order number, customer name, amount, shipping method and payment status all visible at a glance.
Search by order number or customer name from the search bar. Filters for date, payment status, order status and shipping method are there too.
Tick the checkboxes for the orders you are shipping — up to 40 at a time. The checkbox in the header selects them in bulk, and if more than 40 orders are listed only the newest 40 are picked up. The “Selected: N/40” counter tells you how many slots are left. The cap matches Click Post’s bulk application, which takes 40 entries per upload.
Click Export CSV and a Click Post-format file downloads. The address is distributed automatically across the four address fields (20 full-width characters each), so long building names and room numbers rarely end up truncated. Export without selecting anything and the first 40 orders on screen are used.
Turn on “Include order number in address” and the order number is printed in the address block of the shipping label. It makes matching the PDF back to the right order noticeably more reliable.
How to get the CSV onto the Click Post website and print your labels.
Sign in to the official Click Post website (clickpost.jp).
Choose the CSV file from the bulk application menu and upload it. Each upload takes up to 40 entries, so split larger batches across several rounds.
Check the imported entries, complete payment and download the label PDF. That PDF is what you need for the next step.
Keep the downloaded PDF exactly as it is. A printout that has been scanned back in, or a PDF edited or merged in another tool, can no longer be read.
How the Shipping Notification & Tracking screen works. A wizard walks you through it in three steps.
Drag and drop the label PDF you downloaded from Click Post, or click to pick it out. Multi-page PDFs are fine.
Tracking numbers and postal codes are read out of the PDF and matched against your Shopify orders. Orders matched automatically carry a green badge; where several orders are possible, choose the right one from the dropdown.
Look the results over and click Register. The orders move to Fulfilled, and your customers automatically receive a shipping notification email carrying the Japan Post tracking URL.
Clear the checkbox on any tracking number you would rather skip. Numbers with no matching order are skipped on their own, so nothing goes out to the wrong customer.
The daily shipping routine we recommend.
Select the unfulfilled orders on the Label Issue screen and download the CSV.
Import the CSV on the Click Post site, complete payment and download the label PDF.
Print the labels, stick them on your parcels and drop them in a mailbox.
Upload the label PDF on the Shipping Notification & Tracking screen. Matching and registration finish the job.
Even 100 shipments come in under 10 minutes — one CSV export, one import, one PDF upload.
Use the PDF exactly as Click Post hands it to you. Printouts that have been scanned back in, and PDFs edited or merged in another tool, are not supported.
When several orders share the same postal code, the app offers you the candidates rather than guessing. Pick the correct order from the dropdown. Switching on “Include order number in address” makes this come up far less often.
The app handles that for you, spreading the address across fields 1 to 4 so each stays within its 20 full-width character limit. There is nothing to trim by hand.
Check that orders are actually selected. Orders with no shipping address on file are also left out of the export.
Yes. Downloading the CSV and uploading the PDF both work from a smartphone, iPhone included, so shipping keeps moving even when you are out.
