ShipStation is shipping software for ecommerce sellers. It imports orders from your stores and marketplaces, lets you compare carrier rates and prints shipping labels.
You can create rules so ShipStation batches orders, routes them and prints labels on its own as volume grows. Returns are handled in one place, with prepaid return labels and a self-serve portal on a URL you control that shows your logo, colors and messaging. You can apply your branding to labels, packing slips, tracking pages and notification emails, though some advanced options, such as layout templates and promotional images, depend on your plan. ShipStation also helps you spot carrier, shipping and delivery trends.
ShipStation describes options for small businesses, growing midsize companies and enterprises. Beyond parcels, it says you can manage inventory, warehouse workflows and shipping for both parcel and freight from one platform. Sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, TikTok Shop and Temu can connect those channels, along with stores built on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace and Wix.
ShipStation also lists connections to business tools such as Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, QuickBooks, Klaviyo and Gorgias. Carriers it works with include USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Canada Post and Royal Mail. A developer-friendly API lets you extend the app with custom automated workflows. ShipStation says every plan comes with live chat, phone and email support, plus an online Help Center.
