Shipping shouldn’t slow you down. With intelligent workflows and real-time insights, you can reduce manual tasks, rein in shipping costs, and offer flexible delivery options—all from a single, easy-to-use platform.
Cut shipping costs, not corners
Stop guessing at shipping rates. Rate Shopper compares real-time carrier options, applies discounts, and chooses the best service for each order—helping you save money, reduce errors, and ship smarter.
Save time with automated workflows
Repeating the same tasks over and over? ShipStation’s intelligent automation applies rules, presets, and bulk actions to handle workflows in seconds. Your team spends less time clicking and more time getting orders out the door.
Deliver better customer experiences
Give shoppers better visibility with clear shipping options, accurate delivery windows, and real-time tracking. Branded tracking pages and proactive notifications keep customers informed at every step. Centralized order data helps your team deliver consistent, reliable service—turning every shipment into a seamless, on-brand experience.
Profitable shipping starts here
Access top carriers and instant discounts
Connect with the carriers you already use, or start shipping with built-in discounts from leading services like USPS®, UPS®, FedEx™, DHL Express, GlobalPost, and more. Compare rates and delivery times in one view, so you can always pick the smartest option for every shipment. Whether you’re a small business or an enterprise team managing complex logistics, ShipStation helps you save.
*Rates are limited to shipping from the U.S. only. Rates and applicable discounts may be changed by carriers at any time without notice.
Print labels in bulk and move orders faster
Transform orders into labels in seconds. Use the Configure Shipment Widget to set service, package type, insurance, and confirmation, then create and print labels in batches. Apply presets to automatically fill in weight, dimensions, and preferred carriers. Whether you’re handling a handful of daily shipments or large batch runs, stay efficient and error-resistant.
Automatically find the best service
Stop guessing which service is cheapest or fastest. ShipStation’s intelligent Rate Shopper compares carrier services and finds the best shipping rate based on your rules. Optimize for lowest cost, fastest delivery, or best value, then apply the winning service with one click. You can also automate selection across multiple orders.
Set up your shipping preferences up front
Set up your shipping preferences once and apply them to single orders or in bulk. Schedule future ship dates so labels and manifests stay accurate. ShipStation automatically updates rates as you change weight, package type, or options, helping you see true shipping costs before printing.
Move faster with shipping presets and hotkeys
Save common combinations of carrier, service, package type, weight, dimensions, and insurance as presets. Apply them quickly using a dropdown, hotkey, or barcode scan. ShipStation reduces repetitive clicks and helps new staff get up to speed fast.
Protect every shipment with ParcelGuard
Unexpected issues happen. ParcelGuard™ insurance protects every shipment with affordable coverage and a simple claims process, all managed from your shipping software. Add coverage automatically for certain order types, or let your team apply it as needed.
Catch address errors before they ship
Incorrect addresses cause delays, returns, and extra support work. ShipStation’s address verification checks customer information in real time and flags risky or incomplete addresses before you ship. Fewer failed deliveries mean lower shipping costs, faster fulfillment, and a smoother experience for your customers. Everyone wins.
Track every package and keep customers notified
Give customers a tracking experience that reflects your brand. Branded tracking pages, proactive emails, and clear status updates turn ordinary tracking into a powerful engagement tool. ShipStation’s intelligent tracking system updates delivery status in real time so your team can resolve issues faster and keep customers happier than ever.
Reach new markets with international shipping tools
Expand your reach without adding complexity. ShipStation makes international shipping a breeze. The software generates customs forms, verifies international addresses, and applies the right duties and tax preferences for each shipment. Use saved presets for common destinations, then let intelligent automation handle the heavy lifting.
