Shipping software comparison FAQs
What should I compare when choosing shipping software?
Start with the work your team needs to do every day: importing orders, choosing carriers, printing labels, handling exceptions and keeping customers updated. Then compare carrier coverage, rate and label-fee models, automation, integrations, post-purchase tools, reporting and the support included on your plan.
Can I use my own negotiated carrier rates with Starshipit?
Yes. Starshipit lets you use your own contracted carrier rates without hidden or additional per-label fees within your plan. If you are starting out, you can also access available plug-and-play carrier options, then move to your own rates as your operation grows.
Does Starshipit charge a fee for every shipping label?
No. When you use your own negotiated carrier rates, Starshipit does not add a hidden or extra per-label fee within your plan. This is worth checking closely when comparing shipping platforms, as label-fee models can affect costs as order volumes increase.
How much does Starshipit cost?
Starshipit offers Starter, Professional and Enterprise plans based on your monthly order volume and the features your team needs. Compare our shipping software pricing and plan inclusions to find the right fit, including custom options for operations shipping more than 10,000 orders per month.
Can Starshipit connect my eCommerce platform and couriers?
Yes. Starshipit connects major eCommerce platforms, marketplaces and sales channels with 60+ domestic and international couriers. That gives your team one dashboard for orders, carrier services, labels and dispatch rather than switching between separate systems.
Can Starshipit automate dispatch and shipping decisions?
Yes. Use shipping rules to automate decisions such as carrier and service selection, packaging, address checks, batching and label printing. This gives your team a consistent workflow and reduces the manual steps that slow dispatch down.
Does Starshipit support live rates, tracking and returns?
Yes. You can add live rates at checkout, branded tracking pages, delivery notifications and a self-service returns portal to create a more connected post-purchase experience. Check the features included in any plan you are comparing, as these tools are often packaged separately across the market.
Does Starshipit support international and multi-location fulfilment?
Starshipit supports domestic and international shipping workflows, including customs documentation for supported carriers, Duties and Taxes tools, and shipping from stores or other locations. Carrier services, destinations and setup requirements vary, so confirm the details for your operation with our team.
Do I need Pick & Pack or WMS to use Starshipit shipping?
No. Starshipit’s shipping platform works on its own, with 5-star customer support and onboarding on every plan. If your workflows become more complex, you can add Pick & Pack for scan-led picking and packing, or Starshipit WMS for broader inventory and warehouse workflows.
