Ahoy Ginny! For most labels your number isn't included on the label' but if you're sending an international package it will be, so the carrier can reach out to you if there are any international customs details they need sorted out '

Does Square work with Pirate Ship?

Please integrate with PirateShip. This is the shipper that many of us use and since your system doesn't have a report that includes customer addresses, we can't even use it manually. Shopify has an integration with PirateShip and I suspect many in my business will go to them instead. PLEASE integrate with PirateShip!

' Hi everyone! I noticed that Shippo came up in this conversation and wanted to mention that we are hosting a Q&A next week with their team.

I don't know shippo through experience and I see that for me it would be a loss with shippo. My product (jewelry) is small and not heavy. In looking at shippo I could see that their pricing doesn't go light enough. With Pirateship my 2oz packages go for under $3.50 to most US.  So, for that reason I wish square would partner or do the necessary work with Pirateship. Good to compete with other platforms Square. Shippo may be great for some and not for all. Doubt there is a perfect one for all.  Difference matters, too.

Hey @kkoehn , I have a couple of different options set up.  I sell books so this may be completely different based on what you sell. For me, I offer USPS Priority shipping and have it setup based on the number of items in the order. 1-2 items costs $8 to ship, 2-3 items costs $10 to ship, 4-5 items costs $12 to ship, and so on. I came up with this just based on averages and experience. Sometimes it's a little low and sometimes it's a little high, but it about averages out right.  I also offer Media Mail, which is a little different. That's a flat fee of $3.18 per item. Again, if the book is over 1 pound, then I end up eating a little of the cost, but it averages out. It's not a perfect science, but its the best I've come up with so far. I'd be happy to share my shipping tables with you if you want to see them.
