ShipStation
Web-based shipping software that imports orders from stores and marketplaces, compares carrier rates and prints labels, for ecommerce sellers.
ShipStation is shipping software for ecommerce sellers: it imports orders from your stores and marketplaces, compares carrier rates and prints labels. Plans are priced by monthly shipment volume, from $14.99 a month for 50 shipments on Starter to $349.99 for Premium's entry tier. There is a 30-day free trial with no credit card, and postage is billed separately.
A solid default for multichannel sellers who ship in-house. Model your shipment volume against the tier table before you commit.
Shipping software that sits between your sales channels and your carriers: orders in, labels and tracking out.
ShipStation covers the shipping job end to end: order import from unlimited stores, rate shopping across a large carrier list, labels, tracking emails and returns. The pricing model is the thing to study. You pay by plan and by monthly shipment tier, so a growing store moves up the ladder twice, and useful features such as your own carrier accounts and phone support sit on Standard rather than Starter.
Unlimited store connections on every plan, a carrier list of 200+ parcel and 50+ LTL carriers, and a 30-day trial with no card make it easy to test on real orders.
Cost grows with shipments, Starter stops at 3 users and email or chat support, and postage is billed on top. Plans registered before July 8, 2025 may pay fees to connect carriers.
