How to access the subscription settings to change plan level and options, update billing information, or cancel the subscription.
Review the sections below for details on changing your subscription plan or billing details, viewing past invoices, or canceling your subscription.
You can make changes to your ShipStation subscription plan at any time.
You may be wondering: Can I change my subscription plan at any time?
Yes! ShipStation allows you to change your subscription, which you may need to do if your shipment volume increases or varies by season. Additionally, a change in your plan level allows you to adjust the number of users for your account.
You can upgrade long term, or just for a month. To change your plan, do the following:
-
Find the Current Subscription section and click Change Your Subscription.
-
Select the plan you want to change to (Upgrade/Downgrade) from those listed in the ShipStation Subscription Plan pop-up window.
In this pop-up, you can also add or subtract any additional users as necessary. Review our article about adding and editing users for more details.

If you need to export your order or shipment data over an extended period of time, ShipStation's Data Archive is your best option!
At the end of every month, we create an archive of your account's orders, shipments, and shipment items. Follow these brief steps to download and open your Data Archive in Microsoft Excel or a similar spreadsheet program.
-
Look for the Data Archive section near the bottom of the Subscription page, and then click the link in the description to view your month-by-month archives.
In this archive area, you can see the total value of your orders for a given month as well as that month's total shipping costs.
-
Click Download Archive to download the archive for that month. This gives you CSVs of your order, shipment, and shipment line item information for that month, in a compressed file.
We're sad to see you go, but we know sometimes things don't work out! The information below will tell you all you need to know to cancel your account.

Should you choose to cancel your ShipStation subscription, a number of things will happen.
Your subscription will be valid until the last day of your billing period, so you will still be able to use ShipStation fully until that time.
After Your Subscription Ends
