Shipping & labels

Settings → Shipping & labels (shown as Shipping on a phone) is where a label comes from when you ship an order, and what size it prints at.

Five providers are listed, each as its own card, because they aren’t five of the same thing:

Provider Kind What it needs
Mercari Marketplace label Nothing to set up — Mercari issues its own label when a sale goes through, and nothing is bought here.
Shippo Buys labels An API key, from Shippo → Settings → API. A test key starts shippo_test_; there’s a Test mode checkbox for it.
EasyPost Buys labels An API key, from EasyPost → API Keys. A test key starts EZTK, a production key starts EZAK; there’s a Test mode checkbox for it.
Pirate Ship CSV round trip No credentials. Export your orders from the ship dialog, buy the labels at Pirate Ship yourself, then bring their tracking CSV back in with Import tracking on this page (or the Orders page).
eBay labels Buys labels Marked Coming soon — not built yet.

See Buying and printing labels for what each provider actually does at ship time.

A key you enter is never shown back to you — the page only shows the last few characters of what’s stored, so replacing a key means typing a new one, not editing the old one. Click Replace key to do that. A Forget key button removes a stored key entirely.

Under each configured provider, tick which of your connected channels should use it by default. One channel can only have one default provider — ticking it here for a channel unticks it everywhere else that channel appeared.

Choose 4 × 6 (thermal) or Letter. This is remembered on this device only (like Appearance), so a packing bench with a thermal printer and a laptop upstairs can print at different sizes. 4 × 6 is the default.
