We want to keep you up to date as we release new features and improve ShipStation's functionality. This release information highlights what's new or changed in ShipStation recently.
The following enhancements have been released for existing ShipStation features:
We have updated the Order Details Cost Summary to reflect regional differences in how taxes apply. Merchants in the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand will see that the Order Total will be Tax Inclusive, since VAT is added at the time of purchase in those regions. US and Canadian merchants will not see any changes to the appearance in Order Details.
We adjusted the order of operations to apply service mapping automation before product default automation. Please see our updated Automation Basics KB article that accurately reflects the current order of operation and state of Automation.
We have corrected an issue so that now when you include a return label with your outbound label, it will print with your outbound shipment’s label as expected. Previously, return labels were not appearing with the first PDF that generates with an outbound shipment. Merchants had to go back to reprint it.
The following updates were released in January of 2023 or earlier.
For new UK, AU, and NZ merchants, Kilograms are supported as a unit of weight measurement. This should be more in-line with the standards of most carriers.
We have increased the character limit to 100 characters for the customs description field for each item in the declarations section. Previously, it was limited to 35 characters and descriptions on shipments were getting cut off for some line items despite the carrier having no limitations to descriptions.
We have updated our integration with FirstMile, now allowing you to declare your shipment contains Dangerous Goods.
The Rate Browser now allows you to compare rates side-by-side for connected carriers. The All Rates view shows the recommended service and then the rates from cheapest to most expensive.
