Fulfillment software that simplifies every step

Turn a messy order fulfillment process into a smooth workflow. ShipStation helps you ship customer orders faster, cut costs, and deliver a better experience across every sales channel.

Deliver a better experience on every order

Ship quickly and accurately with orders organized from the start. Central order management, inventory control, and branded tracking set clear expectations and cut costly mistakes, without adding extra steps for your team.

Cut manual tasks and save time and money

Automate the repetitive work that slows fulfillment down. Rate Shopper finds the best option by cost or speed on every order, while automation rules preset services, labels, and packing slips. Fewer clicks, less manual entry, more time to grow your business.

Scale fulfillment without sacrificing control

Connect new sales channels, add warehouses, and plug in additional carriers, including LTL freight for wholesale, B2B, and palletized shipments. Scale with confidence while keeping control of the rates, service levels, and delivery promises that protect your margins and brand.

Savings you can see on every label

We’ve helped over 1 million businesses cut the cost of printing shipping labels.

Explore order fulfillment features built to grow with you

ShipStation brings every part of your order fulfillment solution into a single, flexible platform.

ORDER MANAGEMENT

Order management from a single dashboard

Pull customer orders from your ecommerce platforms, marketplaces, and offline sales channels into one dashboard. ShipStation gives you a complete view of what needs to ship today, what’s on backorder, and what’s ready to pack. Filter, tag, and batch process orders so your team can move through the order fulfillment process with confidence and fewer clicks.

FULFILLMENT AUTOMATION

Reduce busywork with smart automation

Unlock powerful automation to standardize your order processing so you can spend time doing more important tasks. Create rules to pick the right service, set presets, apply insurance, and trigger customer notifications. As your volume grows, automation keeps your fulfillment software efficient. It reduces manual data entry and minimizes errors that lead to costly reships or support tickets.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Run orders with real-time inventory management

Stay ahead of stockouts and overselling with inventory management tools that sync with your stores and warehouses. See real time inventory levels by product and location, allocate stock to priority sales channels, and track what’s reserved, available, or awaiting restock. Keep your fulfillment center operations aligned with what customers see online.

SHIPPING SOLUTIONS

Powerful shipping tools and discounted carrier rates

Get instant access to top carriers like UPS®, USPS®, FedEx®, DHL Express, FedEx Freight, and Old Dominion—plus pre-negotiated discounts you won’t find on your own. Connect your existing carrier accounts or use ShipStation rates, then print labels in batches to move orders out faster while keeping shipping costs down.

FREIGHT SHIPPING

LTL freight shipping, right alongside parcel

Ship oversized, palletized, and wholesale freight in the same platform you already use for parcel. Connect an existing Worldwide Express or Unishippers account to apply your negotiated rates. Compare LTL carrier rates, calculate freight class, add BOL handling instructions, and secure cargo insurance—no separate software required.
Explore the advantages of parcel and LTL shipping with ShipStation and learn how having both shipping modes gives your business more flexibility.

WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT

Streamline order processing and warehouse workflows

Turn your warehouse management into a predictable, repeatable machine. Use pick lists, packing slips, and scan-based workflows to reduce packing errors and keep aisles clear. Assign orders by workstation or location. Support multiple fulfillment centers. Standardize how every team member moves from picking to packing to label printing.

RATE SAVINGS

Find the best rate options, every time

Whether you’re shipping parcel or LTL freight, instantly find the best rate for every order. Use Rate Shopper to automatically compare parcel rates and apply rules—like cheapest, fastest, or best value. Once configured, it works in the background to reduce costs and eliminate manual decisions. For LTL freight, you can view real-time quotes, transit times, and delivery options from top national carriers in one place.

“We used to have to manually enter and then print out the labels and then put them on the windows of the package. Doing that, it was taking her a few hours to ship 10 to 15 boxes. Now she can ship 50 in the same amount of time.”

“When we started the partnership with ShipStation, we were in 1,500 square feet of space fulfilling orders. And if you flash forward to today, we’re at 62,000 square feet of space. And ShipStation has allowed us to handle with ease the scaling journey through that entire time.”

Order fulfillment software FAQs

Order fulfillment software connects your selling channels, warehouse workflows, and shipping tools so orders can move from checkout to delivery with fewer manual steps. It organizes orders and standardizes how they’re packed and shipped. You get visibility into what has shipped, what’s pending, and where every package is in transit.

ShipStation works alongside the platforms you already use rather than replacing them. You can plug in shopping carts, marketplaces, and carrier accounts, then sync order, shipment, and tracking information automatically. Many merchants also connect ShipStation with ERPs, inventory tools, or custom systems via integrations and APIs. Data flows cleanly between teams.

No. ShipStation is used by startups sending a handful of packages each week and by brands shipping thousands of orders per day. Smaller businesses benefit from built-in rate savings and simple workflows. Enterprise merchants can use more advanced rules, multi location configuration, and deeper reporting if needed for their shipping strategy. The same platform scales as order volume changes.

Most merchants can connect their stores and begin printing labels in a short onboarding window. ShipStation uses guided setup checklists and default configurations so you can start shipping while you refine workflows. As you learn more about your patterns and preferences, you can add rules, presets, and permissions that better match how your team operates.

Yes. You can save harmonized codes, descriptions, and values so they populate automatically. This reduces the manual work required to prepare cross-border shipments. It also helps reduce the risk of delays caused by incomplete paperwork.

ShipStation offers onboarding resources, help center content, and support from real people when you need it. You can access articles, videos, and guided tips inside the app. Reach out to support teams for more complex questions. As your operation evolves, training resources help new staff learn the workflows that keep orders moving.
