How to Choose

• Identify your shipping pain point: rate calculation, label printing, multi-carrier comparison, or local delivery.
• Match scale to tool: use built-in Shopify shipping or UPS for simple needs; choose ShipStation or Easyship for high volume or international shipping.
• Check pricing structure: monthly fee versus per-label or tiered plans and test expected costs at your monthly shipment volume.
• Confirm carrier coverage: ensure the app supports your carriers, countries, and package types.
• Test rules and checkout: validate rate rules in a staging environment to avoid incorrect customer rates.

Common Mistakes

• Relying on a single app without testing checkout scenarios across regions and product types.
• Ignoring package dimensions and weight rules, which can lead to undercharged or overpriced rates.
• Overcomplicating rules early on; start simple and add rules as shipping patterns emerge.
• Not verifying how returns, insurance, and tracking are handled by the app.

FAQ

Which Shipping App is Best for International Shipping?

Easyship and Packlink PRO focus on comparing carrier rates and providing discounted international shipping options. Compare rates for your target destinations and test customs and duties workflows before committing.

Do I Need a Separate Label-Printing App?

If you use a carrier’s official app like UPS Shipping (Official) or a platform like ShipStation, label printing is built in. For complex label workflows, choose apps that explicitly mention bulk label printing and order sync.

Are There Free Shipping Apps for Shopify?

Some official carrier apps like UPS Shipping (Official) are free to install. Many apps offer paid tiers for advanced features; review pricing tiers to see which features are included.
