Shippo
What it is
Shippo connects online stores, marketplaces, platforms, logistics providers, and shipping carriers through one API and dashboard. It offers carrier rate comparisons, label purchase and printing, shipment tracking, and return labels. The API handles labels, manifests, tracking, returns, international customs forms, carrier comparisons, address validation, and batches of up to 10,000 shipments in one request. Integrations include Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, Wix, BigCommerce, Magento 2, Squarespace, TikTok, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, and Amazon. Shippo for Platforms supports white-label and grey-label experiences plus embeddable no-code Elements. The free App Starter plan allows up to 30 labels monthly for one user; Pro starts at $17 a month and allows up to 10,000 shipments monthly before its listed overage. API Starter gives 30 free labels monthly, then charges 7¢ per label. Shippo states SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS compliance and encryption in transit and at rest.
