Create and Purchase Shipping Labels in Square Dashboard
On September 30, 2023, the shipping label feature on the Square Online orders page will be 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.
Once you connect your Shippo account with Square, you can create custom shipping labels from your Square Dashboard.

Click the To-do tab.
Select an individual shipment order and click Create label.
Add the package details. Note: For Shipment insurance, $50 insurance is included. To add additional insurance for an extra cost, enter the insured value.
Add any additional options and click Save. Note: The carrier and service level will default to your preferred settings, and the Shipping Box will automatically populate your default box if you have one set up.
Review the order details and change the carrier or service level if needed. Note: You will only see rates for carriers that you have enabled in your settings.
A confirmation screen will pop up with the total cost of your label. Click Buy shipping label or click the X to cancel.

Your printable shipping label will open in a new tab.
You can also print the label at a later date by going to your Shipments, selecting the shipment label you want to print, and clicking Print label.
