Driving fulfillment for the world’s leading brands
Save time with automated label generation

Create shipping labels online instantly
ShipStation is powerful fulfillment software built for real shipping days. As shipping label software, it helps you pull in orders, choose a service, and print labels for packages instantly. Your team stays in one screen with a centralized shipping label management platform that’s easy to learn and quick to repeat.
Create labels from ecommerce orders
Connect to 100+ channels so you can create labels from ecommerce orders across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, BigCommerce, and more. That means you can generate shipping labels from orders automatically, keep shipment statuses updated, and streamline the order-to-label process without copy and paste.

When volume spikes, small errors get expensive. ShipStation helps you reduce manual data entry for shipping labels and keep key shipment details consistent. The result is simple: you improve fulfillment speed and accuracy while keeping your operation steady, even on your busiest days.
Automate shipping label creation workflows
How to create a shipping label step by step
Start by importing your orders, then select an order to configure shipment details. Choose your ship-from location, package type, weight, and service. Next, review the available rates and create the label. ShipStation can automatically mark the order as shipped and send tracking back to your store, keeping your workflow tight and your customers updated quickly.
What information is needed for a shipping label
Most labels need a ship-from address, ship-to address, package weight, and a carrier service. Dimensions may also be required for some services, and they help keep rates accurate. To reduce touchpoints, save common package setups and defaults, then reuse them across orders. That’s a simple way to keep data clean as you scale.
Print labels for UPS®, USPS®, FedEx®, GlobalPost™, and DHL Express
You can create labels for multiple carriers in one place and keep your options open until you’re ready to purchase postage. With ShipStation, you can compare carrier rates before label creation across UPS, USPS, FedEx, GlobalPost, and DHL Express. That makes it easier to meet delivery promises and protect margins without juggling tabs. For more options, visit carriers.
Batch print shipping labels for orders
Big pick runs should feel easy. With batch tools, you can select multiple orders and create labels in fewer steps, supporting batch label printing for fulfillment teams. Add ShipStation Connect to send labels directly to your thermal printer without extra print screens. For experienced shippers, Quickship keeps you moving while labels generate in the background.
Create shipping labels from home or office
Some days you ship from a spare room. Other days you’re on the warehouse floor. ShipStation is built so you can create shipping labels from home or the office and keep the same workflow as you grow. Use the mobile app for quick actions on the go, and keep your tracking experience on brand with branded tracking.
Scaling label creation for high volume shipping
As orders climb, you need an engine, not a patchwork. ShipStation supports scan-to-print flows that cut mouse time and help prevent wrong-box mistakes. Use Scan to Print for quick handling, or Scan to Verify & Print to confirm items before the label prints. This ecommerce shipping automation approach helps you scale shipping label production easily, turning ShipStation into your high-volume shipping label creation system.

Shipping label FAQs for faster fulfillment

Save presets for package types and shipping defaults, then apply rules based on tags, order items, or destination. You’ll spend less time making the same decisions and reduce rework when new staff join.
