GLS Shipping Company Shipping Made Simple in ShipStation
If your GLS shipping company account handles key lanes for your business, you shouldn’t have to jump between portals to finish every order. With our ShipStation GLS integration, you can bring your own GLS account, buy labels, and keep tracking updates in one place. Then compare UPS®, USPS®, FedEx®, DHL Express, GlobalPost™, and GLS shipping rates side-by-side when you need other options.
Run your GLS shipping company workflow from one screen
Pull orders, pick a service, print labels, and send tracking back to your store. Keep GLS strong where it fits, then switch carriers fast when destinations, package needs, or customer promises change.

GLS shipping company tools that scale past one portal
Connect your GLS account in minutes
Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) is the model. If you already treat GLS as your go-to GLS logistics company for regional coverage, keep that investment and plug it into your day-to-day workflow. In ShipStation, you connect GLS from your carrier settings using your credentials. Requirements vary by country, and some plans may prompt you to enable the Your Carriers Add-On before connecting.
GLS vs other carriers, compared per shipment
The fastest way to choose is to see options side-by-side. When an order is ready, you can compare GLS shipping rates with other carrier rates for that same shipment, then pick the service that matches your promise and budget. This matters when you’re weighing GLS delivery times against a different carrier service level, or when a customer upgrades at checkout and you need a new option right now.
Track GLS shipments and keep customers in the loop
Every label should lead to fewer “where is my order” tickets. ShipStation pushes tracking back to your selling channel, and you can use branded tracking pages and notifications to keep your customer experience consistent. GLS courier tracking starts with the tracking number created on the label, and you can track GLS shipments alongside other carriers in the same workflow. For busy teams, that single view beats searching across tabs.
Support GLS shipping services for domestic and, where available, international
GLS shipping services depend on your GLS program and region. In the U.S., GLS is a regional carrier that offers delivery service to the Western Region, so many merchants use it where that network is strongest. In supported European connections, GLS international shipping services may be available through your GLS account, and international features like customs handling can vary by integration and service.
