About Shippo

Shippo is a shipping platform founded in 2013 in San Francisco by Laura Behrens Wu and Simon Kreuz. It gives online sellers and software platforms discounted carrier rates, label printing, tracking and returns through a web app and a developer-friendly API.

Merchants connect stores such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, eBay, Amazon and BigCommerce, compare rates from carriers including USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL Express, and print single or batch labels with packing slips. Tracking pages and notifications keep customers informed, return labels can be generated on demand, and customs forms support international shipments. The Shipping API lets marketplaces and SaaS platforms embed rating, labels and tracking into their own products. The free Starter plan charges per label, Pro removes the per-label fee for a monthly subscription and adds users and automation, and Premier covers high volumes with custom terms.

Shippo suits small and growing US sellers and developers building shipping into their apps. It is US-centric, so sellers elsewhere, including Turkey, usually rely on local carriers and integrators for domestic shipping. Compared with ShipStation it has fewer warehouse automation and multi-channel order management features; Pirate Ship is a free option for USPS and UPS labels, EasyPost competes on the API side, and Easyship focuses on international shipping.
