Automated inventory management that keeps every order, SKU, and label in sync

With ShipStation, inventory automation isn’t a separate system to manage. It lives where you already ship. Manage orders from all your sales channels in one place, keep warehouse workflows moving, and ship faster with fewer manual steps. Rate Shopper helps you compare options across 200+ carriers so you can choose the best rate for every order.

Ecommerce automation tools that cut busywork and keep operations moving

Replace spreadsheets and tab hopping with one place to manage orders, inventory, shipping, and returns. Stay accurate across every sales channel, choose the best rates with Rate Shopper, and deliver a post-purchase experience that feels like your brand.

Stop oversells before they start

When your inventory data lags, orders pile up and your team scrambles. ShipStation’s automated inventory management software helps keep counts current as you fulfill. That means fewer surprise stockouts, cleaner backorders, and less time fixing mistakes across Shopify, Amazon, and other channels.

Reduce manual fulfillment tasks at scale

High volume days need rhythm, not rework. Use order automation inventory to auto-assign carrier, service, package, and shipping presets. Then move through scan-to-ship and batch label printing without second guessing. Your workflow stays consistent, even when you bring in new staff.

Give customers confidence after checkout

Inventory and shipping don’t end at the label. ShipStation keeps customers informed with branded tracking pages and notifications that look like your store, not the carrier. Pair that with an easy returns portal, and you’ll cut “Where’s my order?” messages and keep repeat buyers coming back.

Inventory automation software meets fulfillment automation software in one UI

ShipStation brings inventory, orders, carriers, and automation together. You can run automated stock tracking, restock planning, batch workflows, and branded post-purchase updates without building a custom tech stack.

Automated stock tracking across your connected channels

ShipStation supports internal inventory tools, and it also connects with select external inventory systems, so you can see stock counts on orders before you ship. With Inventory Sync, updated quantities push to your connected selling channels as orders are fulfilled. You get one source of truth you can trust during launches, promos, and peak season.

ShipStation automation rules that act on inventory and order details

Set shipstation automation rules once, then let them run every day. Route orders by SKU, tag, order value, destination, or shipping promise. Apply presets automatically, split shipments when needed, and keep exceptions from slowing down the line. It’s a practical way to automate inventory and shipping workflows without scripts or heavy IT.

Batch processing for order fulfillment that keeps teams moving

When your days are busy, speed matters. ShipStation supports batch processing for order fulfillment so you can select groups of orders, create labels in bulk, and keep pick-pack-ship flowing. Add scan tools and clear filters to cut mis-picks, print batches of labels and packing slips fast, and keep work organized with views, tags, and presets

Take the guesswork out of restocking with Reorder Assist

Reorder Assist uses your sales history to flag what needs to be replenished, so you’re not relying on instinct alone. Build a simple process with purchase orders, then check inventory in with Scan to Receive using barcodes. It’s a faster, more reliable way to stay stocked without slowing down fulfillment.

Integrations and carrier options that fit how you actually ship

ShipStation connects with 200+ selling channels and pulls your orders into one place—so you don’t have to bounce between tabs. From there, you can compare rates across carriers like UPS®, FedEx®, DHL Express®, and USPS® to stay on budget while still hitting delivery expectations. Explore integrations and carriers to see what works for your setup.
