No, you don’t have to buy shipping labels on Shopify. You can use a shipping service like Shipstation or Stamps.com to print your labels for you. Or, you can use a label printer like Dymo or Brother to print your labels.

If you’re using a shipping service like Shipstation or Stamps.com, you can use their interface to generate your labels. Either way, you’ll need to purchase shipping labels from the carrier of your choice.

PRO TIP: If you are using Shopify to sell products online, you may be wondering if you need to purchase shipping labels in order to fulfill orders. The short answer is no – you do not need to buy shipping labels from Shopify in order to ship your orders. However, there are some benefits to using Shopify’s shipping labels that you should be aware of before making a decision.

Shopify’s shipping labels include insurance and tracking at no additional cost, which can save you money if you were to purchase these services separately. Additionally, using Shopify’s shipping labels can help streamline your fulfillment process as your orders will be automatically sent to the correct carrier and service level.

If you decide not to use Shopify’s shipping labels, you will need to purchase labels from your chosen carrier (such as UPS or FedEx) and then attach them to your orders before sending them out. This can add an extra step to your fulfillment process, so keep that in mind when making your decision.

You can also use Shopify’s built-in label printing tool to print your labels. To do this, go to your Shopify admin and click on Settings. Then, click on Shipping.

Next, click on Print Shipping Labels. Finally, select the orders that you want to print labels for and click Print Labels. Shopify will generate a PDF of your labels which you can then print.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, you don’t have to buy shipping labels on Shopify. You can use a shipping service or label printer to print your labels for you.

Or, you can use Shopify’s built-in label printing tool. Whichever option you choose, make sure to purchase shipping labels from the carrier of your choice.
