how to set up shipping labels

[chanarox]

I need help with shipping labels. Does Shopify provide the option to create shipping labels, or do I need to download an app to provide the shipping labels?

Yes, Shopify does offer the option to create shipping labels directly through its platform. Here's how it works:

1. Shopify Shipping: If you’re in the United States, Canada, or Australia, Shopify provides built-in shipping label generation as part of its Shopify Shipping feature. This allows you to purchase and print shipping labels directly from your Shopify admin panel.

2. Shipping Label Purchase: Once you’ve fulfilled an order and are ready to ship it, you can buy a shipping label from Shopify. The cost will be added to your Shopify bill, and you can print the label using your own printer.

3. Carrier Options: Shopify Shipping integrates with major carriers like USPS, UPS, and DHL Express (depending on your region). It provides discounted shipping rates with these carriers, which can help reduce your shipping costs.

4. If You're Outside Supported Regions: If you're in a region where Shopify Shipping is not supported, or if you need more advanced shipping features, you might need to use a third-party app from the Shopify App Store. Apps like ShipStation, EasyShip, or Shippo can provide additional shipping label functionalities and integrations.

For more detailed steps on creating shipping labels using Shopify, you can refer to Shopify's help center: Shopify Shipping Labels.

Hello @chanarox ,

Shopify offers a built-in label creation option for specific carriers depending on your shop's location (country). Typically, the available options include FedEx, DHL, UPS, USPS, Sendle, and others.

In this case, you will use Shopify's partner account with the carrier. If you do not have your own shipping carrier account, this approach may work for you.

However, if you have your own carrier account, I recommend exploring the PH MultiCarrier Shipping Label app. This app integrates with over 30 carriers, including those available through Shopify, and also features other major carriers like Australia Post, Canada Post, TNT, and more. It also comes with a 14-day free trial period. 

Hope this helps!
