“I only received two of the three items.” It is one of the most common – and most expensive – messages a store owner gets. Sometimes it’s an honest mistake. Sometimes it isn’t. Either way, without proof you usually end up refunding or reshipping.

Why “missing item” claims cost you twice

Every unresolved claim costs you the product, the shipping, and the time spent going back and forth. Do that across hundreds of orders and it quietly eats your margin. Worse, a slow or uncertain reply damages trust even when you did everything right.

Every unresolved claim costs you the product, the shipping, and your time.

Multi-box orders are covered too

Big orders often ship in more than one box, which is exactly where “I’m missing something” claims spike. Parcel Proof Video lets you attach multiple videos to a single order, so each box has its own proof and nothing falls through the cracks.

Each box in a multi-box order gets its own proof video, all linked to one order.

The fix: show what you packed

When you record the order being packed, the answer to “was it all in there?” stops being a guess. You open the order, watch the clip, and either spot a genuine mistake and fix it – or send the customer a link that shows every item going into the box.

The watermark ties the footage to one order, so there’s no confusion about the shipment.

Answer customers in seconds – and keep them happy

Speed is everything in support. Instead of a defensive “are you sure?”, you can send a friendly, confident reply with a viewer link. If something really was missed, you’ll see it and can make it right fast. If it wasn’t, the video settles it politely.

Reply in seconds with a viewer link instead of a defensive back-and-forth.

Record on any device, right in Shopify

There’s no separate app to log into. Pack at a desk with your laptop webcam, or move around the warehouse with the optional Android app. Either way, the video is watermarked and the secure link lands on the order.

Laptop or phone – the same secure proof link is attached to the order.

Before and after

Proof turns a stressful claim into a two-minute reply.

Make it a habit

A few small habits make partial-order claims almost impossible to lose.

The goal isn’t to fight your customers – it’s to remove all doubt for everyone. Honest shoppers get faster help, and the rare bad-faith claim no longer costs you.

Frequently asked questions

How does a packing video stop “missing item” claims?

It removes the guesswork. Because you recorded every item going into the box, you can either catch a real mistake before shipping or show the customer a clip that proves the full order was packed. Most claims are resolved in one reply instead of a refund.

Can I attach more than one video to an order?

Yes. Parcel Proof Video supports multiple videos per order, which is ideal for multi-box shipments. Each box can have its own recording, all linked to the same Shopify order.

What if the customer really is missing an item?

Then the video helps you too — you’ll see the packing mistake, apologise quickly, and reship the right item. Proof works in both directions: it protects you and helps you give honest customers faster, better service.

Do I need to buy separate hardware or software?

No. Recording happens inside Shopify admin using your laptop webcam, or with the optional free Android app. The watermarked video and its secure link are saved to the order automatically.

How do I share the proof with a customer?

A secure viewer link is stored on the order. You can paste it into an email or WhatsApp reply so the customer can watch the packing clip themselves.

How long are the videos kept?

You control retention. Parcel Proof Video can automatically remove packing videos based on the settings you choose, so you keep proof for as long as you need and no longer.
