As your business grows, it may make sense to upgrade your plan. We offer subscription plans built to support your business wherever it is in its journey.

We offer three subscription plans:

  • Starter Plan: a quick and easy way to start shipping.
  • Professional (Pro) Plan: grow your business with branded shipping and more support.

Pro plan overview

Pro plan 30-day free trial

All Shippo customers start on the free Starter Plan and can create up to 30 labels per month.

Every customer can try the Pro Plan free for 30 days. If it's not the right fit, downgrade before the 30 days are up to avoid the subscription fee.

  Note: The plan fee you select is what you'll be charged at the end of the 30-day free trial if you haven't downgraded to the Starter Plan.

Pro plan FAQs

How do I know how long is left in my free trial?

The Plan Settings Page shows how many days are left in your trial at the top of the page, along with the date your plan changes to Pro and what you'll be charged.

What happens after the free trial?

On the date shown on the Plan Settings Page, your account is charged the first subscription fee you selected.

  • Monthly: if you selected the $19/month plan for up to 200 labels, you'd be charged $19.
  • Annual: if you selected the same plan but chose annual billing, you'd be charged $205 (a 10% discount for paying a year in advance). No refunds are given if you cancel before the year is up.

What are the fees and volume tiers for the Pro plan?

Monthly plan fee Expected monthly shipping label volume Number of login users
$19/month 31–200 labels 5 login users
$29/month 201–500 labels 7 login users
$54/month 501–1,000 labels 10 login users
$79/month 1,001–2,500 labels 15 login users
$139/month 2,501–5,000 labels 300 login users
$199/month 5,001–10,000 labels 300 login users
Contact for pricing 10,001+ labels 300 login users

 

  Note: We calculate subscription periods in 30-day cycles, starting the day your plan begins. Label volume limits and billing reset every 30 days, not on the first day of each calendar month.

 

Does the Pro plan fee include the cost of postage?

No. The Pro Plan fee doesn't cover postage or shipping rates. It gives you the ability to connect your carrier accounts to retrieve rates and buy labels, plus access to advanced features like customized email notification text and applied Company Branding on packing slips, tracking pages, and email notifications. It also unlocks priority chat and phone support.

When am I billed for the Pro plan fee?

Pro plan fees bill monthly at the start of your subscription cycle, prepaying for the upcoming cycle. A payment on October 15th, for example, covers the plan from October 15th through November 14th.

What happens if I buy more labels than my plan covers?

We still let you buy shipping labels, even after you've exceeded your plan's volume before the next billing cycle. You'll never be blocked from shipping.

When you buy the first label that exceeds your plan allowance, you're upgraded to the next plan level and billed at the start of your next billing cycle. For example, if you're on the $19/month plan for 200 labels and buy your 201st label, you'd move to the $29/month plan for 201–500 labels starting your next cycle.

How does this affect labels I buy on other platforms?

These price changes only apply to labels purchased directly through the Shippo Web App. They don't apply to labels bought through an e-commerce platform, 3PL, or similar.

Can I get a refund for subscription fees?

We don't offer refunds, prorated or otherwise, if you downgrade or cancel your plan before the end of the billing cycle. Changes take effect on the first day of the next cycle.

How do I cancel my Pro plan?

  • Click the Account Settings icon.
  • Select Plan.
  • Click Adjust Plan.
  • Click Downgrade within the Downgrade Plan section.
  Note: If you've exceeded the lower plan's volume, you won't be able to purchase new labels until it resets.
