Connect Your Shippo Account to Square
The shipping label feature on the Square Online orders page has been removed for most sellers. Shipping labels can be purchased using the updated shipping label experience from the Shipments page in Square Dashboard. See below for more information on how to get started.
By integrating your Square account with Shippo, you can generate and print shipping labels for shipment orders created in Square Online, Square Point of Sale and Square for Retail.

Manage Your Fulfilment Locations

Log in to your Square Dashboard and click Account & Settings > Fulfilment > Shipment.
Click Manage addresses to view a list of addresses associated with your fulfilment locations.
Click Validate. Previously validated addresses will have a check mark next to them, but you can click a row to edit the Ship From address.
Enter or update Ship From address details and click Save.
Review the address and click Use suggested, if applicable.
Click Done.
Note: Ship From addresses are prefilled with your business location address. To manage your business locations, go to Account & Settings > Business information > Locations in your Square Dashboard.
