In my general settings and in locations my address is listed with a suite #. but on shipping labels it prints it as an apt #. How can i change it so that the shipping labels print with a suite #?
Hey! This is a common one with Shopify and shipping labels. Even if your address in general settings or locations says “Suite #”, Shopify (and some carriers) often standardize it to “Apt #” when generating labels.
Here’s how you can fix it:
-
Double-check your location and general settings – make sure “Suite #” is typed exactly as you want it.
-
Edit the label before printing – sometimes the carrier’s system overrides what’s in Shopify, so you can manually adjust it.
-
For consistent automation, you may need a small tweak in the shipping label workflow, which can be done via Shopify scripts or apps that customize label printing.
I recently helped another merchant with this, and it works perfectly once the right workflow is in place.
