ShipStation's new layout includes many new features and improvements that you will not find in ShipStation Legacy, including automated rate shopping, product bundles, inventory sync, and many other feature improvements that make your interactions faster and easier!
If you would like to take advantage of these new features and improvements, you must switch your account from the Legacy version to the new layout. To switch everyone on your account to the latest version click the Try Now button in the top right of your ShipStation account screen.
Nervous about making the switch? Don't be! The features you rely on for your daily work are still there and in the same place. You can also return to the Legacy layout for a time, if needed.
Layout Setting is Account Wide
Please note if your account has multiple users, every user on the account must use the same layout.
These features are exclusive to ShipStation's current layout:

Automated Rate Shopper |
Let ShipStation automatically select the best rate for every shipment! The new Rate Shopper feature has been one of our most highly requested features and is now available for accounts based in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Review our Rate Shopper help article to learn how this feature works along with step-by-step instructions for configuring your rules. |
|
Product Bundles |
Group multiple product SKUs under a single "bundled" SKU to sell as a single product. Review our Product Bundle article to learn how it works! |
|
Inventory Sync |
The Inventory Sync feature keeps your inventory stock levels synced between ShipStation and your selling channels, eliminating the need for manual inventory updates and ensuring you always have the stock you need to fulfill your shipments. Review our Inventory Sync help article to learn how it works and get step-by-step instructions for using it. |
|
Checkout Rates |
The Checkout Rates feature lets you control the rates and services your customers can select during their store checkout, using the services and rates you use in ShipStation. You can configure Checkout Rates to use live rates or flat rates (or both!) for your store checkout. Review our Send Rates to Store Checkout intro article to learn how it works. |
|
Scan to Verify |
The Scan to Verify feature allows you to scan SKU or UPC barcodes as you pack your shipments to ensure the shipment is accurate and complete before sending it. Combine Scan to Verify with Scan to Print to create a fast scan and print workflow! Verify the items as you pack, weigh the package, and print the label all with the barcode scanner. Review our Verify & Print Shipments help article for details and step-by-step instructions. |
|
Multi-item Order View |
Expand orders with multiple items right in the grid so you can view all line items in an order without opening the Order Details view. When closed, the Item Sku and Item Name columns will display (Multiple), just as before. When expanded, the Item Sku and Item Name columns will display the SKU and name of each item in the order on individual lines. |
|
Pinned grid columns |
You can now pin up to two columns in both your Orders and Shipments grid so those columns will stay stationary as you scroll horizontally to view all of your order and shipment data. The pinned columns remain visible on the left side of your grid as you scroll. |
|
Order reship |
Creating additional shipping labels for already-shipped orders is now easier than ever. You can create a second shipping label for an order that you have already shipped and either include the original order items or not, whichever you need in a single click. |
|
Document print tracking |
ShipStation now displays if you have printed a packing slip, created a label, or printed a label for a shipment. |
|
Access to API endpoints |
With our Shipping API and Inventory API add-ons, you can build custom capabilities that leverage our new API endpoints to send data between ShipStation and other platforms you use. |
|
Dropship Manager and 3PL Add-Ons |
ShipStation's Dropship Manager and 3PL add-ons allow merchants and their fulfillment providers to manage and delegate order fulfillment directly in ShipStation. |
|
Parcelguard and X-Cover insurance |
US accounts can add our discounted parcel insurance from Parcelguard to all shipments. UK, Australia, and New Zealand accounts can add our discounted parcel insurance from X-Cover to all shipments. All insurance fees are deducted from your account balance and claims can be submitted in just a few clicks right in the app. |
