Forms with shipping labels

Updated 2026-09-07

On this page

Forms with labels combine intake fields (RMA, event code, serial number, waiver) with rate shopping and label purchase so you capture data before postage is bought.

When to use forms

  • You need an RMA or authorization code before accepting a return
  • Event staff must collect division, shirt size, or waiver acceptance
  • Warehouse needs a serial / barcode reference before inbound freight

Setup steps

  1. Create a form + label portal flow.
  2. Add fields (short text, dropdowns, required vs optional).
  3. Attach the label direction (outbound, return, or as offered).
  4. Connect presets and shipping rules.
  5. Confirm form answers appear on your internal order/shipment record.
  6. Preview: submit the form, buy a test label, confirm data landed.
  7. Publish the link.

Customer experience

  1. Customer opens the form URL.
  2. Fills required fields.
  3. Continues to packaging / rates / payment.
  4. Receives the label PDF; you receive the form payload on the order.

Tips

  • Keep required fields minimal — every extra field drops completion rate
  • Show format hints (order id patterns) in help text
  • Pair with return checkout when the form gates inbound freight
  • For team-only labeling without customer forms, use the orders dashboard
