ShipHero now supports USPS Scan Forms (Shipping Manifests) for all customers using our USPS Modern integration. A SCAN Form is a document with a single barcode that represents all USPS packages picked up from your warehouse on a given day.
Why it matters
- 1 scan, hundreds of parcels: The driver scans the manifest once to update the status of all packages picked up.
- Faster first tracking event: All included labels are immediately marked “Accepted” in USPS tracking, so shoppers see updates sooner.
How to create a manifest (manual)
Go to Orders → Manifests.
Click Create Manifest.
Select USPS Modern, choose the warehouse, and set the date (today).
Click Generate to produce the SCAN Form (PDF) and print.
Automatic nightly manifests
ShipHero also auto-generates USPS manifests at 10:00 PM local time for each warehouse.
You can download these anytime from Orders → Manifests.
Typical workflow
Create a manual SCAN Form at pickup to cover all labels ready at that moment.
Any labels created after pickup will be included in the auto SCAN Form generated that night.
Notes:
You may see two SCAN Forms for the same day (one manual, one automatic) if more labels were created after the pickup-time manifest.
Ensure you select the correct warehouse and date to avoid gaps.
