Buy a label, print it instantly: introducing click-to-print in Shippo

Printing your Shippo labels just got faster with click-to-print.

Now you can buy a label in Shippo and it prints instantly. No downloading a label file, no hunting through your downloads folder, no extra steps. And those saved clicks? They add up fast across a week of orders.

What is click-to-print?

Click-to-print is the latest addition to QuickPack, Shippo's pick, pack, and print fulfillment suite built for growing merchants. With click-to-print, the label printing step gets out of the way so your team can move through orders faster.

It works alongside Shippo Print, a free desktop app that connects Shippo directly to your printer. Once it's set up, you won't think about it again.

How to get started

Getting click-to-print up and running takes about five minutes.

1. lnstall Shippo Print
2. Save your default printer and settings once
3. Buy a label and it prints instantly every time after

Your printer settings stick across sessions too. No dropdown to select on every order, no wrong-device prints, no reconfiguring when someone else steps in to print. For teams with multiple people packing, that consistency matters more than it sounds.

How click-to-print fits into QuickPack

Click-to-print is the second piece of QuickPack, Shippo's fulfillment suite designed to help growing merchants ship faster without adding complexity.

In April we launched pick lists, letting merchants generate a clear, organized list of what to grab across all their orders in seconds instead of piecing it together by hand.

Click-to-print picks up where pick lists leave off. Once you know what to grab and you've packed the order, getting the label out shouldn't slow you down.

What's coming next

Scan-to-print is coming soon. Scan an item to pull up an order and print the label for faster packing and fewer mistakes every time (especially useful during busy seasons when volume spikes and extra hands are helping).
