    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/599123"&gt;@RGebhardt&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My understanding is the real time estimates for shipping is only with the $75 premium deal.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Well lets use the Mug for example.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What size box would you ship your Mug in.&amp;nbsp; Including packaging material to protect the mug. (Bubble Wrap, Peanuts etc)&amp;nbsp; Say your mug is 4 inches round, 5 inches high, and 6 inches from Handle to opposite size and weighs 3 lbs.&amp;nbsp; Add 1 to two inches for padding and 1 lb for the weight of your packaging on top of the weight of the mug.&amp;nbsp; Should not be that much.&amp;nbsp; So you need a box of 8x7x6 or so if adding 2 inches around the mug.&amp;nbsp; Do you have a box that you have sent these mugs in before that you know the measurements of?&amp;nbsp; Put this into Pirate Ship since that is what you want to use.&amp;nbsp; Find out the rates for your customers that you currently ship to.&amp;nbsp; Then figure out What % go local and what % go the farthest.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For me to find the lowest shipping I ship from my store to my home address, 10 miles.&amp;nbsp; Since I am on the east cost in PA, my highest shipping costs are to FL and or California.&amp;nbsp; So in Pirate ship I would use the 8x7x6 and 4 lbs for the package and my home address for Lowest price, and rates to California for highest.&amp;nbsp; To get an address far from you I use some # and Main St of a city far from me.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes I get invalid address then I use Zillow for an address in that area.&amp;nbsp; Get an average price for the mug shipping then repeat for other items.&amp;nbsp; Now if you are in Iowa for example you would be in the Middle basically of the country and your shipping rates could be lower, or if your in Maine your rates could be higher.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;All shipping is calculated by weight, size, distance and value of the item shipped so no ones shipping calculations will be the same.&amp;nbsp; This is the hardest thing for anyone to calculate when starting and is the hardest thing for software to calculate in real time which is why it is expensive to add to an online store.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The other thing to realize is 1 Mug to ship is more than shipping 4 or 6, since each mug is more expensive to ship individually than 6 in one large shipping box.&amp;nbsp; More calculations to consider.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For my store online shipping of my inventory to me might be 30 cases and cost $500, but I ask if they can ship it LTL and my shipping drops to $130 for a pallet of 30 boxes of the same items.&amp;nbsp; Not only did shipping decrease for the 30 cases but there is also less damage usually.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When pricing things on Pirate Ship, you can get ideas what the pricing is and not Purchase the Label.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;So you can use this to get your rough calculations and then figure out your own formula to come up with a shipping cost or an additional cost to mark your shipped items price at.&amp;nbsp; Plus lately shipping prices change so quickly it is hard to stay ahead of these costs.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Even with paying the $75, you need to enter the shipping box sizes and weights and how many of an item could fit in that box.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Good Luck coming up with an easy solution for different sized items.&amp;nbsp; This is why people limit sizes when doing online stores.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/273101"&gt;@geekster&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;If it doesn't show in the app store, that would mean we're not partnered with them or compatible.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Nothing in the pipeline as of yet, but we'll update our &lt;A href="https://squareup.com/us/en/app-marketplace" target="_blank"&gt;Partnerships page&lt;/A&gt; if anything changes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Please integrate with PirateShip. This is the shipper that many of us use and since your system doesn’t have a report that includes customer addresses, we can’t even use it manually. Shopify has an integration with PirateShip and I suspect many in my business will go to them instead. PLEASE integrate with PirateShip!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I use pirateship and square for my business &amp;nbsp;everyday and it would be perfect for us if pirateship is integrated here. It would be easy, faster for many people right now using both. Please we need this new feature!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;While the 2 do not integrate directly, I do use Pirateship easily. I just copy the name &amp;amp; address from my Square orders into Pirateship. Voila!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I also use Pirate ship.&amp;nbsp; The easiest way to export your order file, add all the weights and dimensions, and then upload the spreadsheet to Pirate Ship.&amp;nbsp; I would love it if they would integrate it with Square.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Actually, it does not.&amp;nbsp; For those of us who use Media Mail for books or other physical media, Shippo doesn't handle it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;How do you determine what to charge for shipping when the customer checks out on your square site?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/405121"&gt;@kkoehn4789&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;, I have a couple of different options set up.&amp;nbsp; I sell books so this may be completely different based on what you sell. For me, I offer USPS Priority shipping and have it setup based on the number of items in the order. 1-2 items costs $8 to ship, 2-3 items costs $10 to ship, 4-5 items costs $12 to ship, and so on. I came up with this just based on averages and experience. Sometimes it's a little low and sometimes it's a little high, but it about averages out right.&amp;nbsp; I also offer Media Mail, which is a little different. That's a flat fee of $3.18 per item. Again, if the book is over 1 pound, then I end up eating a little of the cost, but it averages out. It's not a perfect science, but its the best I've come up with so far. I'd be happy to share my shipping tables with you if you want to see them.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
