Shippo

Live Evri, DPD & DHL prices at checkout. Labels in a click.

Connect your own Shippo account to your Freewebstore store. Shoppers see the real delivery price for their order, and you buy, print and track the label from the order page. We add nothing to your postage.

Stop guessing postage

Flat delivery charges mean one of two things: you overcharge the shopper buying one small item, or you quietly pay the difference on the heavy order. Neither helps.

With Shippo connected, each shopper sees live prices for the services you’ve chosen, worked out for their basket and their postcode. Charge what it actually costs to send.

Free to add on Startup, Pro and Ridge.

Stop copying addresses

Labels: open the order, pick the service, buy the label. No retyping the address into a courier website.

Tracking: the tracking number sits on the order with the label, so “where’s my parcel?” takes seconds to answer.

Returns: create a return label from the order. You’re only charged if your customer uses it.

Voids: bought a label by mistake? Void it from the same place. Shippo refunds your Shippo account.

Customs forms: sending abroad? They’re made from the order page along with the label.

Works with Royal Mail and your own rules

Royal Mail

Royal Mail delivery prices keep working alongside Shippo, so shoppers can pick 1st Class, Tracked 48 or a Shippo courier in the same checkout.

Manual postage rules keep working too, for local delivery, collection or flat-rate offers.

VAT on delivery: choose whether Shippo prices include VAT, have VAT added, or never carry VAT, on Manage > Shipping.

Labels ship from the Ship From Address on Manage > Shipping.

Frequently asked questions about Shippo on Freewebstore

Which Freewebstore plans include Shippo? +
Shippo is free to add on every paid plan: Startup, Pro and Ridge. It isn’t available on the free Community plan. You can build your store on Community and upgrade when you’re ready to connect Shippo.
What does it cost? +
Freewebstore adds no fees and no markup to your postage. You pay for labels from your own Shippo account, at your Shippo prices. Your Freewebstore shipping credit isn’t used for Shippo labels.
Which UK carriers can I use? +
Evri, DPD and DHL Express. You can also add your own carrier accounts, such as UPS or Parcelforce, inside Shippo and use them from Freewebstore.
Can I still offer Royal Mail? +
Yes. Royal Mail isn’t one of the Shippo carriers, but Royal Mail delivery prices (Manage > Shipping) keep working alongside Shippo, so shoppers can pick a Royal Mail service or a Shippo carrier at checkout. You can still post Royal Mail parcels through the Post Office, your own Click & Drop account, or Generate Labels.
What happens to my existing shipping rules? +
Your manual postage rules keep working, and so do Royal Mail delivery prices. Connecting Shippo moves your checkout onto our new shipping system, so the old automatic carrier rates stop showing. Shippo rates replace them.
How is VAT handled on Shippo delivery prices? +
You choose on Manage > Shipping > VAT on delivery charges. The default is that delivery prices include VAT, so shoppers pay exactly the price shown and the invoice splits out the VAT. You can add VAT on top instead, or never charge VAT on delivery if you only sell zero-rated goods. It only applies if your store charges VAT, and only on UK deliveries.
Can I void a label or make a return label? +
Yes, both from the order page. When you void a Shippo label, Shippo and the carrier refund your Shippo account, which can take up to 14 days. A label the carrier has already scanned can’t be voided. Return labels are only charged if your customer uses them.
Where do labels ship from? +
From the Ship From Address saved on Manage > Shipping. If a label shows the wrong sender address, check that page first.
