ShipStation
Shipping software for ecommerce order fulfillment
ShipStation is a multi-carrier shipping and fulfillment platform that brings parcel and LTL freight into a single workflow. Orders are imported from connected stores or CSV files, then managed, labeled, and dispatched from one dashboard, alongside returns, inventory, and warehouse tasks.
Core capabilities include automated rate shopping across parcel and LTL carriers, quote and booking for LTL shipments with BOL generation, order combining and auto-splitting, address validation, returns and exchanges portals, inventory management with purchase orders and forecasting, and warehouse features such as pick lists, mobile picking, and pick-to-tote. Automation rules, a shipping API, webhooks, and custom analytics are available on higher tiers, and an AI Copilot is listed as coming soon. The platform connects to 400+ integrations, including store platforms, carriers, QuickBooks, Zapier, and MailChimp.
ShipStation is aimed at businesses ranging from ecommerce startups to larger operations managing complex logistics. It is offered in Starter, Standard, and Premium editions, with a free plan and a 30-day free trial. Plans are priced by monthly shipment volume, include a set number of users (additional users can be purchased), and can be billed monthly or annually. Optional add-ons cover 3PL, dropship, and fulfillment features.
