Shopify Shipping is a built-in shipping suite that gives merchants tools to calculate real-time shipping rates, purchase and print shipping labels, and track shipments. Although Shopify Shipping is free for Shopify users on every pricing plan, you should note that it’s only available for orders shipped from the United States and Canada.
You might be wondering “What is Shopify shipping and how does it work?”
Shopify Shipping is available for orders shipped from fulfillment locations based in the United States (USPS, DHL Express, and UPS) and Canada (Canada Post). There is no per-label fee when purchasing a shipping label. Instead, you are charged the cost of the discounted label purchased through Shopify Shipping.
You can ship with any carrier, but Shopify has partnered with specific carriers to make the process even easier for you. If you ship through Shopify Shipping with USPS, UPS, or DHL Express in the United States, Canada Post in Canada, or Sendle in Australia, you’ll be able to pay for and print shipping labels directly in Shopify.
For Shopify sellers based in Canada, Canada Post is the only national shipping carrier available through Shopify Shipping. It is also available exclusively to sellers who ship from Canada; sellers in the United States cannot ship to Canada using Canada Post. Canada Post is a great option for sellers shipping domestically within Canada.
