Found on your account
CanShip reads the carriers from your ShipStation account each time, never from a fixed list. You can limit CanShip to some of them.
ShipStation integration
Your ShipStation carriers, inside CanShip.
Connect your ShipStation account with its API key. The carriers on it join CanShip's rate shopping beside your direct carriers, and you buy the label without leaving the packing station.
What this integration does
What you can do with ShipStation in CanShip.
Priced beside your other carriers
ShipStation's rates show in rate shopping with the carrier and service named, next to your directly connected carriers.
Bought from the rate you picked
CanShip buys the label from the exact ShipStation quote you chose and stores the PDF with the shipment.
Void from CanShip
Void a ShipStation label from the shipment in CanShip. If ShipStation refuses, you see its message.
Tracking under the real carrier
The tracking number goes back to your store. Shopify shows the carrier that delivers the parcel, such as Canada Post or Canpar, not ShipStation.
Canpar through ShipStation
Canpar labels come through ShipStation today. Connect your Canpar account in ShipStation and it shows up in CanShip.

From API key to first label.
Create a V2 API key in ShipStation
In ShipStation, go to Settings, then API Settings, and create a V2 API key.
Add it in CanShip
On the Carriers page, set up ShipStation and paste the key. CanShip fills a blank ship-from address from your first warehouse.
Ship
Rate an order at the packing station, compare ShipStation's carriers with the rest, and buy the label.
Why this integration is different
One system, not two.
No tracking hop between systems
If you buy labels in ShipStation and run the warehouse somewhere else, tracking has to travel between them to reach the store. Inside CanShip, the system that buys the label is the one that writes the tracking back.
Your ShipStation carriers stay
If a carrier account already lives in ShipStation, you don't have to move it to use it from CanShip.
Plan availability
Available on every CanShip plan.
Your own ShipStation account
ShipStation is on Starter, Grow, Pro and Enterprise, like every carrier CanShip supports.
No fee per label
Labels are paid through your ShipStation account, as they are today. CanShip adds no fee per label. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial.
Honest about the edges
Three things to know.
Better you hear these now than at the packing station.
Every label is real
ShipStation has no test environment, so every label bought through it is a real purchase.
Manifests stay in ShipStation
Labels bought through ShipStation are manifested on ShipStation's side, not in CanShip's End of Day.
An old rate needs a fresh one
If a ShipStation quote has expired by the time you buy, CanShip asks you to rate the shipment again.
