Driving fulfillment for the world’s leading brands
Build an international fulfillment strategy that grows with every market
Expanding into new countries adds complexity to your shipping operations. ShipStation helps turn that chaos into a process you can repeat each time you enter a new market. Design a strategy that protects margins and scales smoothly as you expand internationally.
Grow your global customer base
Reach more international customers without overwhelming your team. ShipStation centralizes everything. International orders are in one dashboard, the right services are applied automatically, and customs documents are generated as soon as they’re needed. You deliver a reliable experience across borders and scale with confidence.
Ship packages faster to boost customer satisfaction
Fast, predictable shipping wins customers. Use ShipStation to compare services and delivery time estimates, then offer a mix of shipping options that fit your buyers. Real-time tracking, proactive notifications, and accurate customs data reduce delays, increase customer satisfaction, and cut “where is my package” tickets.
Control costs as you scale
International shipping gets expensive when you’re just guessing. ShipStation’s built-in shipping rate calculator and discounted carrier rates help you choose the right service every time. See costs upfront, avoid surprise fees, and protect profitability as you add fulfillment centers, 3PL partners, and new regions. Plus, ShipStation guarantees the cost of duties and taxes for international shipments during label creation.
Features that keep every cross-border order moving
Compare rates across carriers in seconds
Instead of jumping between carrier websites, enter your package details once and compare rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, GlobalPost, and others. ShipStation’s built-in shipping cost calculator provides clear rates upfront so you can set customer expectations, prevent margin loss, and simplify checkout pricing.
Get discounted rates without negotiating
ShipStation includes pre-negotiated discounts for leading carriers that always beat the standard published rates for domestic and international shipments. You can check services side-by-side, compare savings, and choose the option that matches the order’s size, urgency, and destination—all while keeping your preferred carrier mix intact.
Automate customs paperwork
Don’t let customs slow you down. Use ShipStation to automatically create customs declarations, populate Harmonized System (HS) codes, and pull product data into forms. No more customs bottlenecks or border delays.
Track every shipment and notify every customer
It’s time to improve cross-border communications. ShipStation pulls tracking updates from carriers into one place and automatically sends customers updates about their order. This matters especially for international shipments where customs, local handoffs, or weather add transit time. Fewer surprises, clearer communication, less “where’s my order?” chaos.
Route orders from the best location
If you use multiple warehouses or 3PLs, ShipStation helps you route international orders to the location that makes the most sense—whether that’s the closest, fastest, or most cost-effective option. Real-time inventory tracking helps you avoid backorders and keep orders from shipping across the country when you’ve got stock nearby.
Connect your existing tech stack
Keep your global supply chain running smoothly. ShipStation integrates with selling channels, ERPs, and warehouse tools so order processing, labels, and shipment updates always stay in sync. Automation rules apply shipping preferences, add Tax ID numbers, and set customs defaults to reduce with every new market you enter.
