About

sticky.io is a revenue optimization and growth platform for ecommerce brands. It helps businesses run subscriptions, payments, billing, offers, and recovery workflows in one place. It is known for supporting recurring billing businesses and brands focused on customer lifetime value.

When you run sticky.io with ShipStation, fulfillment gets much easier to control. sticky.io sends shippable orders into a manual store you configure in ShipStation, so your team can manage shipping from one clear workspace instead of bouncing between tools. You can set that order flow to run in real time or once a day, depending on how your operation works.

From there, ShipStation helps you move faster and ship smarter. Compare services across 200+ global carrier integrations, print labels in bulk, apply automation rules, and keep customers informed with branded tracking. sticky.io also retrieves tracking numbers from ShipStation to update orders, and the integration can combine orders with similar addresses to help you save on shipping labels.

Why sticky.io users choose ShipStation

Keep recurring fulfillment organized

sticky.io sends shippable orders to a manual store in ShipStation, giving your team one dedicated shipping workspace. That makes repeat-order fulfillment easier to manage, easier to review, and easier to scale as volume climbs.

Choose the sync schedule

You decide how orders move over. sticky.io can send orders in real time or once a day, so ShipStation fits your shipping rhythm instead of forcing your team into a rigid workflow.

Sync tracking back automatically

After labels are created in ShipStation, sticky.io retrieves tracking numbers to update your orders. That keeps shipping status tied to the original order record without extra copy-and-paste work from your team.

Cut extra label spend

The integration allows you to combine orders with similar addresses, which helps you save on shipping labels. For brands with repeat buyers, family orders, or subscription shipments, that creates cleaner fulfillment and lower shipping waste.
