How Shipping Label Integration Works

Squarespace lets you create shipping labels for U.S. orders using UPS and USPS services. This keeps everything in one place and makes order fulfilment much simpler.

What You Need Before Starting

Your website's billing address and currency must be set to the United States and USD. You'll need one of these plans: Core, Plus, Advanced, Business, Commerce Basic, or Commerce Advanced.

You can buy labels on your computer or through the Squarespace iOS app. The Android app doesn't support this feature yet.

Setting Up Your First Shipping Label

The first time you set up labels requires a few specific steps, particularly if you already have a UPS account.

For UPS Labels

Go to the Orders panel and select a pending order

Click 'Purchase label' then 'Get UPS rates' to either log into your existing account or create a new one

If you have an existing UPS account, you'll need to connect it through a fulfilment service like Shippo, Shipstation, or Easyship

For USPS Labels

Select a pending order and click 'Purchase label'

Add and save your return address, which opens the label creation screen

Creating and Printing Labels

Once you've completed the setup, creating labels for new orders is straightforward.

Your Packaging Options

You can choose between custom packaging or standard carrier packaging:

Custom packaging: Enter your package dimensions and weight

Standard carrier packaging: Select the carrier's packaging type and enter the total weight

How to Print Your Labels

After you've selected packaging and compared services, choose your label format. Confirm your payment details, then print directly from Squarespace.

Pixelhaze Tip: If you're reusing packaging, remove all old labels and markings first. This prevents shipping mix-ups.

Common Questions

Can I print a label for an order that's already fulfilled? Yes, just access the order and select 'Print label'.

Can I create multiple labels for one order? No, Squarespace allows one label per order. You'll need a third-party service for additional labels.

Can I speed up a shipping label refund? No, refund timing is controlled by the carrier and can't be expedited.
