help ShipStation FAQ

Which marketplaces does ShipStation connect to for order shipping?

ShipStation is built for merchants selling through multiple channels, including platforms such as Shopify, Amazon, eBay, WooCommerce, and Etsy. The value is that orders from several storefronts can be handled from one shipping dashboard.

Does ShipStation buy postage directly or only print labels?

ShipStation lets merchants create and print shipping labels through connected carriers and postage providers. In the United States, many sellers use it with carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL depending on account setup.

Can ShipStation automate shipping rules?

Yes. Sellers can create automation rules for tasks like assigning a carrier service, applying package presets, adding tags, or sending notification emails. That matters for stores with repeatable workflows, such as always using a specific service for lightweight domestic orders.

Is ShipStation mainly inventory software?

No. ShipStation is primarily a shipping and fulfillment platform, not a full inventory management system like Cin7 or NetSuite. It can show and sync order-related inventory data in some workflows, but shipping labels, tracking, and carrier automation are the core use case.
