Hi Sellers! 👋
We’re excited to announce that we’ve added the ability to purchase shipping labels directly within Dashboard for Canada Sellers! We’ve partnered with Shippo to give you the ability to create a free Shippo account and be able to purchase shipping labels directly from eligible carriers within Dashboard. This update is now available to Canada sellers.
This update can also help you:
-
Purchase discounted shipping labels versus retail pricing
-
Manage all shipping orders without having to leave Square
-
Add shipping insurance and signature confirmation to orders
-
Create customs forms for international shipping
What do I need to do to get started?
-
Create a new Shippo account for free or connect to your existing Shippo account in the fulfillment settings
Where can I purchase shipping labels?
-
All Shipping orders can be found on the Shipments page within Dashboard. Once you select an order from there, you will see the option to purchase a label.
I already purchase shipping labels through Square Online. Do I need to do anything else?
-
You’ll need to go through the process of re-connecting your account in the fulfillment settings. Through that process, you’ll also verify all of your other shipping settings (carriers, fulfillment locations, shipping boxes, etc).
Which shipping carriers are supported?
-
We currently have support to purchase Canada Post, UPS, FedEx and DHL labels through our Shippo integration. To ship with UPS, Canada Post and/or FedEx, you’ll need to sign in directly with those services at this time.
Can I use my own negotiated rates from carriers?
-
Yes, you can add your own personal carrier accounts from UPS, Canada Post and/or FedEx. This can be added via the carriers settings page
Which orders am I able to purchase a shipping label for?
-
Any orders created in Square Online or orders from the Square for Retail POS or Square Point of Sale that have been flagged as a shipping fulfillment type can have a shipping label purchased. We plan on supporting Square invoices for shipping labels soon.
