Thanks for choosing Shippo. Shipping your first package is simple, and our platform helps you save money from the start.
You're joining a community of over 100,000 brands and 85+ carrier partners that ship through Shippo. You'll get access to some of the best rates from top carriers, plus everything you need to run professional shipping in one place.
Setting up your account only takes a few steps. Here's how to get started.
Sign up for Shippo
- Visit the sign-up page. Then choose how you'd like to create your account:
- Click Continue with Google to sign up with your Google account, or
- Enter your name, email address, and password, then click Get started.
Add your company information
After you sign in for the first time, we'll ask for a few details about your business:
- Your current store platform
- Your primary preferred carrier
- Your average monthly shipment volume
You'll connect your store during final setup, so you don't need your store login handy yet.
| Note: When you enter your monthly shipment volume, use an average between your highest and lowest months. We use this number to get you the best rates. |
Set your shipping preferences
Next, set your default label, package, and carrier preferences. These are the settings we'll use automatically whenever you buy a label.

Add your orders
Once your preferences are set, you're ready to add orders. If you sell through one of our ecommerce store integrations, you can connect your store right here.
You can also add orders by uploading a CSV file or creating them manually as you go. See Uploading Orders via CSV for more detail.
You'll also enter your sender address during this step. It becomes your default address, and you can update it anytime from Settings.
That completes your initial setup. Before you create your first label, let's update your account information, which we'll cover next.
