Shipping labels in Shopify
You can buy, print, and manage discounted shipping labels from Shopify supported carriers directly in your Shopify admin. Shipping labels help you save money with carrier discounts, save time by avoiding trips to carrier locations, and provide tracking information to your customers automatically.
Getting started with shipping labels
Before you can buy shipping labels, your business needs to have an eligible fulfillment location and accurate shipment details. Eligibility varies by carrier and country. You also need a desktop printer or supported label printer.
Discounts for shipping labels vary based on your Shopify plan. You can calculate shipping rates before you buy shipping labels.
Buying and managing labels
You can buy labels individually or in bulk when fulfilling orders. If your default location is in the United States, then you can also create and send return labels to customers. For international shipments with duties and taxes, you can purchase DDP labels.
After you buy labels, you can print and reprint labels, void unused labels for refunds, track deliveries, and schedule carrier pickups.
Choosing shipping carriers
You can choose from multiple Shopify supported carriers depending on your location. Each carrier has different service levels, pricing structures, and policies. You might use different carriers when you need specialized services such as international shipping or signature requirements. If you ship from the United States, then you can add shipping insurance to protect against loss or damage, and submit shipping claims for lost or damaged shipments.
