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.

Integrate with Shippo

To connect a Shippo account and set up shipping label purchases:

  1. Log in to your Square Dashboard and click Account & Settings > Fulfillment > Shipment.

  2. Click Get started > Connect account. If you already started connecting your account, click Continue setup > Connect account.

  3. Create a new Shippo account by entering your full name, email address, password, and billing information, then click Sign Up. Click Log in if you already have a Shippo account. If you set up a new Shippo account, check your email to complete your account activation.

Carrier Rates

When connecting to carriers, you have two options: Square rates or pre-negotiated rates with your own account. If you use a Square account, the Square carrier rates will show and you may need to review and agree to the terms and conditions. You can only enable one type of account per carrier.

UPS

You can connect UPS as your carrier using your personal carrier rates. If you enable UPS with your own account, you will no longer be able to access UPS with Square-negotiated rates. If you were previously using UPS with Square-negotiated rates, you will now find those rates automatically enabled in Shipments on your Square Dashboard. At this time, you can only use Square rates through Dashboard Shipment Manager if you had previously connected to UPS using Square rates.

To connect to UPS using your personal carrier rates:

  1. Log in to your Square Dashboard and click Account & Settings > Fulfillment > Shipment.
  2. Click Shipment carriers to view more details.
  3. Under Add Carrier, click UPS (Add your account).
  4. Enter all of your UPS account information including your UPS username and account number.

UPS carrier rates will now appear when purchasing a shipping label. Please visit your carrier account’s website for more information on how to access your account information.

FedEx

You can connect FedEx as your carrier only using your personal carrier rates at this time.
