ShipStation

ShipStation Prints the Label. We Connect Everything It Touches.

ShipStation pulls orders in from every channel you sell on, shops rates across your carriers, and prints the label, and it does that part well. What it doesn't do on its own is tell your CRM a package shipped, hand your books the real freight cost, or route an order to the right warehouse before a label even exists. We build that layer on top of it.

What we build on top of ShipStation

Order and tracking data reaching systems ShipStation never talks to. ShipStation knows the moment a label prints and a package starts moving. Your CRM, your support desk, and your accounting system usually don't, unless someone copies that information over by hand. We connect that handoff so a shipped order updates Salesforce, Zendesk, or QuickBooks the moment ShipStation knows it happened.

Shipping cost flowing into your real numbers. Whatever the carrier actually charged on that label is the real cost of that order, but it usually sits inside ShipStation instead of your accounting system. We get it into QuickBooks or your ERP as part of the order's real cost, not an estimate from three months ago.

Routing rules that use information ShipStation doesn't have. ShipStation's own automation rules work off what's inside ShipStation: weight, destination, order tag. The moment a routing decision depends on something else, current stock in a specific warehouse, a customer's account tier, a production status from another system, those native rules stop being enough. We build the check that happens first.

Exceptions that reach a person instead of getting lost. A failed address validation, a stalled tracking update, a split shipment. We set up the alert so someone finds out when it happens, not when a customer calls asking where their order is.

Where that shows up

Tracking that updates itself everywhere

The moment ShipStation marks an order shipped, the tracking number and carrier show up in your CRM and your support desk too, so nobody has to go hunting for it.

Freight cost in your actual books

What the carrier charged becomes part of that order's real cost in QuickBooks or your ERP, instead of a number someone estimates later.

Routing that checks more than ShipStation can see

When the right warehouse or carrier depends on something outside ShipStation, we build the check that runs before the label does.

Exceptions that reach a human

A failed address, a stalled tracking update, a split shipment. Someone finds out when it happens, not when a customer asks.

Shipping through ShipStation and still copying tracking numbers into other systems yourself?

Tell us which systems need to know what ShipStation already knows, your CRM, your support desk, your books. We'll map out what it takes to connect them for real. And if shipping isn't where your business actually loses time, that's fine too, we automate whatever's manual, anywhere in the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ShipStation?+
ShipStation is shipping software that pulls orders in from the channels you sell on (Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, your own store, and more), lets you compare rates across carriers, and prints the label. It's built for businesses shipping real volume who need one place to manage that instead of logging into each carrier separately.
Where do I log into ShipStation?+
At ship.shipstation.com, with the account your business already has set up there.
How much does ShipStation cost?+
Plans are priced by how many shipments you process a month, with higher tiers adding more automation rules, users, and branded tracking pages. Pricing and the current free trial terms live on ShipStation's own site since they change; tell us your volume and we can help you work out which tier actually fits.
Is ShipStation better than Shippo, or should I look at a ShipStation alternative?+
That comes down to what you're actually optimizing for. ShipStation tends to win on multi-channel order management and built-in automation rules; Shippo tends to come up for simpler, API-first setups with lower per-label pricing. Neither is a wrong answer. What matters is whether the tool fits how you already sell and ship, not which one wins a feature checklist.
Does ShipStation have an API?+
Yes, ShipStation has a documented API alongside its dashboard. If the native automation rules and built-in integrations don't cover a workflow you need, you can build directly against it, which is usually where we come in: building the specific logic ShipStation's interface doesn't offer out of the box.
