How to resolve "This shipment is still syncing" error
Last updated: July 8, 2025
When attempting to create a shipment, you may occasionally encounter the error message "This shipment is still syncing, please wait and retry." This error occurs when a previous shipping attempt encountered issues and the system's sync status became stuck.
Immediate Solutions
First, wait a few minutes and try creating the shipment again, as the sync may complete on its own.
If the error persists, attempt to use the "Ship External" option to process the shipment outside of the automated system.
When "Ship External" Also Fails
If you receive the same error when attempting to ship external, this indicates that the shipment is stuck in a syncing state. In this case:
Contact our support team to have the sync status reset
Once the sync status is reset, you will be able to proceed with shipping the order externally
Common causes for this error include:
Multiple shipping attempts in quick succession
Rate finding issues
Temporary carrier service disruptions
If you frequently encounter this error, please reach out to our support team so we can investigate any underlying issues with your shipping configuration.
