Cloud based inventory management software built for shipping and fulfillment
With cloud based inventory management software inside ShipStation, you can see stock levels, commit inventory to open orders, and ship without guessing. You’ll work in one place, pull orders across sales channels, and act in real time from anywhere. Rate shop across UPS®, USPS®, FedEx®, and DHL Express, then push tracking back fast so your customer gets updates without extra steps.
Protect stock, orders, and the customer experience
Run daily operations with fewer tabs and fewer surprises. Keep inventory counts current, route each order with rules, and keep your warehouse team focused. You get clearer data, faster shipping, and better service.
Manage cloud based inventory anywhere, in real time
When inventory changes, you need to see it now, not tomorrow. Our platform keeps inventory visibility close to the shipping queue, so you can act fast from your desk, your warehouse, or your phone. Check stock levels, confirm what’s committed to open orders, and keep work moving even when you’re off site. This is cloud computing that fits real fulfillment work.
Keep one stock count across sales channels
Multi-channel selling breaks inventory when each store lives on its own island. Bring orders into one queue, then sync the count so the same unit doesn’t sell twice. Connect Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce, then track what’s available as you ship. Your customer gets fewer backorder emails, and you keep more sales you already earned.
Scale warehouse operations without extra headcount
Growth is great until the manual steps stack up. Use automation rules to tag orders, pick services, and apply presets, so your team doesn’t retype the same information all day. Pair that with batch label printing and a clearer pick-pack rhythm. You get consistent service, fewer missed steps, and inventory management software that still feels simple.
Manage inventory, warehouse work, and shipping in one place
Keep inventory levels consistent across channels
Inventory Sync helps you keep stock levels aligned across the stores you sell on. As orders flow in and labels get created, counts can update so your team trusts what they see. This is where cloud based inventory management software earns its keep: one view, fewer manual edits, and fewer oversells. You can also set buffer stock logic so you don’t promise the last unit when you know returns, damage, or promos can swing demand.
Use Reorder thresholds and Reorder Assist forecasting in your supply chain
Reorder Assist uses your order history to guide smarter replenishment. Instead of guessing, you can use shipping and sales data to plan what to order next, and when. You can tune assumptions like buffer stock, sales trends, and lead time so the forecast matches your business. With lookback coverage up to 2 years, you can factor seasonality into purchasing and keep your supply chain steadier.
Use barcode scanning workflows that match real warehouse work
Scan, confirm, ship — that’s the rhythm most warehouse teams already work in, and ShipStation fits into it without adding steps. Barcode-driven receiving and put-away checks cut down on mispicks, and because the right item ships the first time, tracking stays clean all the way from the pack station to carrier handoff. For anything expiry-sensitive, you can layer in FIFO lot tracking where it actually matters rather than everywhere at once.

Save time with order management and automation rules
Inventory and shipping collide at the order level. Pull each order into one place, then use automation rules to apply tags, set service, and route work without constant hand edits. You can split Amazon FBA and Amazon FBM orders by rule, so each fulfillment path stays clean. When it’s time to ship, batch label printing keeps momentum. Click print, and you can print 200 labels in one run.
Connect inventory management systems with the ShipStation API and proven partners
Some teams keep inventory in a dedicated WMS or ERP, then connect shipping on top. That’s fine. We connect you to external inventory management systems through the ShipStation API, including REST API workflows used by partners. For example, SkuVault can pull orders and enable inventory counts to display in ShipStation (when enabled), and it can add bin locations to packing slips.Extensive Warehouse Management can connect with ShipStation and send pick and pack updates into custom fields for easier warehouse tracking.
Make delivery updates and returns feel like part of your brand
Shipping doesn’t end when the label prints. Tie inventory, order status, and tracking together so your customer sees clear updates. Use branded tracking pages and notifications so shoppers don’t have to dig through carrier pages to find information. Returns matter, too. Email pre-paid return labels in one click and track returned items back to the warehouse, so your counts recover faster and your service stays consistent.
