How to add an InkSoft store to ShipStation, what features are available, and other need-to-know details.
InkSoft is a cloud-based, business-software platform designed to handle the unique needs of print shops and decorators. Our integration sends your InkSoft order data into ShipStation (including specific design, color, and size) to create labels in bulk and get your products to your customers. After you create a label, ShipStation will update the InkSoft order to Shipped status and upload relevant tracking information.
