Cannot access shipstation api on free accounts anymore


  • I have tried to get my API key and Secret Key to link my store to a shipstation account. I created the free account but they no longer give access to the api and secret keys to 'free accounts' anymore ... its now behind a 29.99 a month paywall. If you are just starting out and you may or may not get sales right away this is a total deterant. I just have a few products that I cant even list for sale because I cant get access to the API keys to be able to ship via your designated shipper. At this point its very frustrating that I can't even get started without extra funds ontop of the funds i have already had to use to make my first few products. I guess I will have to wait till after the new year to even open my store at this point.



  • @Georgene Ford if you can get shipping labels elsewhere, you can copy/paste tracking in your seller panel. Using Shipstation is not a must, but convenience. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.


  • Yes, if your shipping volume is low, manually adding tracking will work.

    If your shipping volume gets higher, it is more practical to use the API.
