Shipment Block (Admin Block)

​

What it is

The FEMA block appears in the sidebar of each order in Shopify Admin. It lets you create a shipment, check tracking status, and print the label, all without leaving the page.

​

Adding the block (first time)

If the block isn’t visible on the order page, you need to add it once manually:

1. Open any order in Shopify Admin.
2. In the right sidebar, click the + button.
3. Search for FEMA in the list of available blocks and click to add it.

​

Creating a shipment

When no shipment exists for the order, the block shows:

1. Package: select from your configured packages (if any). If none are configured, FEMA’s default dimensions are used.
2. Volumes: number of volumes (1 to 10).
3. Click Create shipment.

The app automatically fetches the delivery address from the order and creates the label in FEMA. The tracking number is added to the Shopify order.

​

Viewing an existing shipment

When a shipment already exists, the block shows:

• Tracking number
• Current status (colour-coded badge)
• Last updated (date and time)

Click Refresh to query the status directly from FEMA and update the database with the latest information.

​

Printing a label

1. Click Print label.
2. The label opens in a new tab as a PDF, ready to print.
