ShipStation, the leading cloud-based shipping solution from
Auctane, today announced the launch of a suite of innovative
features designed to help online businesses in Australia streamline
their shipping processes, enhance customer experiences, and achieve
new levels of efficiency.
“For over a decade, ShipStation has helped tens of thousands of
businesses conquer the complexities of order fulfilment, turning
shipping from a chore into a strategic tool that drives brand
loyalty and growth,” said Alexander Stevenson, Chief Product
Officer at Auctane.
“As demands evolve, we’re committed to continually advancing our
solutions,” Stevenson continued. “We’re constantly impressed by the
passion and valuable feedback from our incredible customer
community, which directly influences our product development. With
these new features, we aim to drive even more efficiency across our
customers’ order management and delivery processes, streamline
their backend operations, and unlock additional time and resources
for them to focus on innovation in other areas of their
businesses.”
ShipStation’s latest features include:
- Inventory Sync: Ensure accurate
inventory levels across sales channels, eliminating unexpected
backorders and accelerating order fulfilment.
- Deliver-by Date: See, organise,
and prioritise shipments for on-time arrivals, exceeding customer
expectations and meeting marketplace requirements like Shopify’s
“Shop Promise” and Amazon Prime.

Automate the import of Harmonization Codes from Shopify, eBay, and
BigCommerce, simplifying cross-border shipping compliance and
reducing customs delays.
- Checkout Rates: Control the exact
shipping services and rates displayed at checkout for platforms
like Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, and Wix. This empowers
end customers with a clear and transparent view of their delivery
options, fostering trust and potentially leading to higher
conversion rates.
- Custom Labels: Design bespoke
labels for in-house delivery fleets, PUDO (pick-up/drop-off) and
Click & Collect. These labels, featuring customisable QR codes

shipping, tracking, and customs clearance.

ShipStation by selecting only the features needed. This marketplace
expands functionalities through customisable integrations with 3PL
providers, Cubiscan for dimensional weighing, dropshipping
solutions, and more.
High Volume Plan
In addition to these new features, ShipStation released its High
Volume Plan for retailers in Australia and New Zealand. This plan
is tailored to meet the demands of enterprise parcel delivery, with
new levels of advanced automation and operational efficiency. High
Volume Plan users can also access ShipStation features such as:
- Shipping Strategies: Automated
rate shopping that optimises shipping costs by comparing preferred
shipping services and applying the lowest rate. This feature
simplifies decision-making, ensuring cost-effective and efficient
shipping methods for every order.
- Auto-Split: Automated order
splitting to save time and eliminate manual entry errors,
streamlining warehouse operations. This feature reduces processing
times and improves overall efficiency by automating the splitting
