Shopify and inventory management that keeps orders moving

ShipStation brings Shopify and inventory management into the same place you print labels. Manage orders from Shopify and other sales channels in one place, keep your stock aligned as you ship, and move faster with fewer tools. Rate Shopper helps you find the best rates across 200+ carriers, so you can ship smarter as you grow.

Shopify inventory and fulfillment, streamlined for scale

Run your store like a pro shop, even if you’re still hands on. ShipStation centralizes inventory, orders, and shipping so your team can move fast, stay accurate, and keep customers informed.

Never oversell again

When orders hit, stock changes. That’s normal. What isn’t normal is selling the last unit twice. With Inventory Sync and clear item status inside ShipStation, you can spot low stock, split shipments when needed, and keep Shopify counts from drifting.

Fulfill in batches, not one by one

Print hundreds of labels in a few clicks, with packing slips, pick lists, and scan-to-ship workflows that new hires learn fast. Automation rules pick the right carrier and service based on what you sell, where it’s going, and what it costs.

Keep your brand front and center

Tracking shouldn’t feel like a handoff to the carrier. Use branded tracking pages and notifications that look like you, not them. Add a returns management portal so shoppers can self-serve and you can keep exchanges and revenue in play.

Shopify fulfillment automation built into your shipping workflow

ShipStation isn’t just a connector. It’s the daily UI your team lives in, from order import to label print to inventory updates. Turn repeat steps into rules and stay ready for the next spike.

Native Shopify inventory sync and order import

Connect your store through our Shopify integration and your orders flow into ShipStation automatically. Set a Ship From Location, choose Shopify as your inventory source, and you’ll see Shopify stock counts right on the order. When you create shipments and send the update back, Shopify can deduct stock from the right location. That’s ecommerce inventory sync you can trust as you add warehouses.

Inventory tools that replace extra apps

As you grow, you need more than a simple count. ShipStation inventory management gives you Purchase Orders, Scan to Receive, Lot Tracking, and Reorder Assist in the same place you ship. Your team can receive stock, adjust on hand units, and plan reorders without bouncing between tabs. If you’re shopping for shopify inventory management software, start with the platform you already use to fulfill. See inventory management in action, then tie it to purchasing, receiving, and daily picking for a cleaner count across every shelf and bin each day.
