Processing EOD

From the Process EOD (End of Day) page a hub administrator or operator performs a partially automated process that sends the order details made on a merchant's behalf by Global-e. These orders are cross border orders made from the Global-e Checkout page.

Processing an EOD in fact requires two different activities, or procedures, which are performed by different people in an order's life cycle:

  1. Processing orders - hub operators

  2. Processing all EOD's - hub administrators

To process an order

A merchant hub operator located on site at the merchant hub is responsible for physically processing an order.

  1. Perform a "pick & pack" to physically include all required order related items in the packaging.

  2. Print the AWB (Airway Bill) or Global-e shipping label provided by the carrier.

  3. Attach the AWB or Global-e shipping label on the packaging:

    • Attach an AWB - process an order to send from merchant's warehouse to the buyer

    • Attach a Global-e label - process an order to send from Global-e to the buyer

  4. Continue with processing an EOD below.

To process an EOD

A hub administrator is responsible for processing all orders made during the day using the Global-e platform. Alternatively, merchants can process EOD's using their own Third Party Logistics (3PL) platforms.

    • Airway bill number

    • Parcel ID

    • Shipment value

    • Billing account

    • Number of pieces

    • Shipment weight

    • Terms of trade

    • Order reference

    • Dispatch date

    • Warehouse

  9. Navigate to General from the Order Details results.

  10. Scroll down to Basic Information and see Order Status in the table.
