Why Use Ecwid’s Discounted Shipping Labels

Unless you make your money on digital products exclusively, shipping labels are probably a critical component of your store’s fulfillment process. Some other ways you might describe shipping labels include: confusing, expensive (especially for international sellers), and time-consuming.

A mistake in the address, the wrong product weight, or any number of other typos can mean extra fees, delayed delivery, and even lost customers.

To help our small businesses avoid these missteps (and just generally make shipping more pleasant for everyone), we launched Discount Shipping Labels — an Ecwid service that allows you to print package labels right from your control panel and at the lowest possible cost.

Here are the highlights:

  • It’s cheaper. We use the collective power of Ecwid merchants to save your budget on domestic and international shipping costs with. The latter is especially helpful for international sellers as shipping abroad can be rather expensive. Not anymore!
  • It’s faster. Skip the post office visits to spend less time on shipping labels, and more time on … whatever you want!
  • It’s convenient. Everything happens in the Ecwid admin. You don’t need to have a 3rd-party account to order the shipping labels. No need to remember access credentials and share credit card information.
  • It’s automated. The shipping labels are automatically prefilled to save you time and avoid typos.

How to Print Labels

You can find the shipping labels tool in “order details.”

To print a shipping label for an order:

    1. Log in to your Ecwid store, and go to My Sales → Orders → View Order.
    2. Click the “Buy shipping label” link in the right column to go to the shipping label settings.
    3. On the right, in the Shipping details section, click Buy shipping label.
    4. Before purchasing a shipping label, you can select the package type provided by the carrier.
    5. If you’re shipping internationally, fill in the Customs Declaration and click Continue.

  1. Select a shipping service.
  2. Specify your printer settings.
  3. Click the “Buy shipping label” button to purchase and print your new shipping label.

Keep in mind that when shipping internationally, all customs duties are paid by the receiver. You don’t have to pay customs duties.

Merchant’s voice

Read what real merchants are saying about our Shipping Labels tool.

The shipping labels tool has been a game changer for me! Some background information, I work for a non-profit but I work from home, so my home has become the “fulfillment center” for our online orders. Typically I have to package the order and drive to USPS to print the label. But now, I am able to get our orders out much more quickly because I no longer have to go to the post office. Our USPS mailman just picks up the order during his regular route!Alexis M, Lifeline Animal Project

 

Loving this feature, it saves me so much time. I just click “buy shipping,” and I’m done. I personally wouldn’t change a thing … Super easy to use too.Uriel B, Rbia Shades

Ecommerce that has your back

So simple to use – even my most technophobic clients can manage. Easy to install, quick to set up. Light years ahead of other shop plugins.
I’m so impressed I’ve recommended it to my website clients and am now using it for my own store along with four others for which I webmaster. Beautiful coding, excellent top-notch support, great documentation, fantastic how-to videos. Thank you so much Ecwid, you rock!
I’ve used Ecwid and I love the platform itself. Everything is so simplified it’s insane. I love how you have different options to choose shipping carriers, to be able to put in so many different variants. It’s a pretty open e-commerce gateway.
Easy to use, affordable (and a free option if starting off). Looks professional, many templates to select from. The App is my favorite feature as I can manage my store right from my phone. Highly recommended 👌👍
I like that Ecwid was easy to start and to use. Even for a person like me, without any technical background. Very well written help articles. And the support team is the best for my opinion.
For everything it has to offer, ECWID is incredibly easy to set up. Highly recommend! I did a lot of research and tried about 3 other competitors. Just try ECWID and you'll be online in no time.
