ShipStation allows you to change your preferred display language. Choose between English, Spanish, French, and French (Canada). Other languages to come!
The language setting is user-specific, so each user in your account can work in their preferred language.

Change your account display language before login:

Your account interface will immediately change to display in the preferred language for the user you are currently logged in as. This is a user-specific setting, which means each user on the account can set their preferred language.

Custom Views are a saved collection of filters, columns, and column sequences. Use custom views to more quickly manage your orders in ShipStation.
Custom Views appear above your Orders or Shipments Grid and are available to all users in your account. There is no limit to the number of Custom Views you can save.
Click the view to quickly see only orders that match the View's saved filters. For example, save a custom view that shows all international orders or all orders that contain an item you've tagged as requiring special packaging.
To create a custom view:
-
Select the filter(s) you want from the filter bar.
ShipStation automatically adds a Custom View above the filter menus with a number indicating how many orders match that filter.
-
Add or remove grid columns by clicking the Columns button (top-right corner) and selecting or deselecting columns in the Manage Columns pop-up window.
-
Change your column sequence by dragging and dropping the column headers.
-
Click the Custom View tab Click to Save option.
-
Enter a view name in the Save View pop-up and click Save View.
