Shippo

Shippo is a multi-carrier shipping platform that lets businesses compare real-time rates across 40+ carriers, buy and print shipping labels, validate addresses, track shipments, and manage returns from a single dashboard or via a REST API. It is aimed primarily at e-commerce sellers, marketplaces, and platforms that want to avoid integrating and maintaining each carrier connection individually, instead routing all carrier interactions through one standardized interface. Shippo provides access to negotiated discount rates on carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, and supports both a no-code web application and a developer API for embedding shipping into other software.

The product is offered in two forms: a web app for merchants who manage shipping through a browser dashboard, and a shipping API used by developers to embed rating, label generation, tracking, and address validation into their own applications. The web app connects to e-commerce stores and marketplaces through prebuilt one-click integrations that automatically sync orders and write tracking data back, while higher-volume or custom workflows (including ERP systems such as NetSuite) are typically connected through Shippo's API or third-party iPaaS connectors. Shippo reports serving millions of customers and processing over 200 million shipments annually.

For ERP buyers, Shippo functions as a transportation/parcel-shipping layer rather than a full enterprise TMS: it concentrates on parcel carrier rate-shopping, label production, international customs documentation, and post-purchase tracking and returns. ERP integration is generally indirect — orders flow from the ERP to Shippo for rate-shopping and label creation, and tracking numbers and statuses flow back — commonly implemented through Shippo's REST API or an integration platform such as Celigo or integrate.io. There is no Shippo-published native NetSuite connector certified by Shippo; NetSuite connectivity is delivered through the API or partner middleware.
