Shipping label software: labels at the bench, tracking in the store
Every shipment quotes across the carriers you connect, buys the chosen label in a tap, and pushes the tracking number back to the channel before the box leaves the bench.

What is shipping label software?
Shipping label software compares carrier rates, buys the label and sends the tracking number back to the store. Fiftify does this at the packing bench, on the real weighed package, so the label is the last step of packing rather than a separate app. Tracking reaches the sales channel and the buyer without anyone copying numbers.
- What it does: rates, labels and tracking inside the packing workflow
- Who it is for: sellers who print their own labels and want them tied to the packed box
- What you need: a label printer and a packed package - a scale is optional
How shipping works in Fiftify
The box is packed and weighed at the bench - the rate is quoted on the real parcel.
Carrier rates appear side by side; pick the cheapest or the fastest.
One tap buys the label, and it prints together with the packing slip.
The tracking number goes back to the channel per shipment, including partial ones.
The channel tells the buyer which carrier has the parcel and the number to follow.
Compare carrier rates before you buy
Compare before you buy, every time
The quote list is the default screen, not a hidden tab - price and speed side by side per shipment, with options priced before you commit.
Options with price tags
Signature, insurance, service upgrades - each shows its cost next to the rate, so the $3.70 decision is made looking at $3.70.
Real package, real rate
Rates quote from the actual box and its weight, calculated from the items or read from a scale.
Cost summary before purchase
One screen totals the shipment before the label exists, so the cost is clear before you buy.
Tracking back to the store
One tap closes the loop
The label buys at the bench and everything downstream happens alone: tracking to the store, email to the buyer, shipment closed on the order.
Tracking travels by itself
The number goes to the channel per shipment - F1 and F2 each carry their own - and the buyer hears before the truck does.

The label lands on the station printer at the bench that bought it.
Reprint from the shipment
Torn label, jammed printer - reprint from the shipment record without buying twice.
Local delivery and store pickup
Not everything ships in a brown box
Local delivery and store pickup are first-class methods with their own flows - not carrier shipments with the address crossed out.
Local delivery, local paperwork
Delivery orders skip the rate shop and print a delivery sheet instead - the method decides the paperwork.
Pickup desk routing
Store pickup orders route past the carrier step entirely and wait at the pickup desk, packed and findable.
Method-aware printing
Carrier, delivery, pickup - each method brings its own print set to the bench.
Who uses Fiftify for shipping
Labels print where the box is packed, and the order shows as fulfilled with tracking in Shopify.
Orders from every channel ship from one bench, each tracking number returned to its own channel.
No separate shipping app to log into - packing simply ends with a label.
Each warehouse ships from its own address, and rates are quoted from where the box is.

Shipping FAQ
What is shipping label software?
Shipping label software compares carrier rates for a parcel, buys the label and reports the tracking number back to the store. Fiftify builds this into the packing bench, so the label is bought for the package that was just scanned and weighed.
Do I need a separate shipping app with Fiftify?
No. Rate comparison, label purchase, printing and tracking are part of the packing workflow on every plan. Connect your own carrier accounts or a shipping aggregator to buy labels.
How do I compare carrier rates before buying a label?
After the package weight is recorded, Fiftify lists the available services with price and transit time. Pick one, buy the label, and the choice is stored with the shipment.
How does tracking reach the customer?
When the label is bought, the tracking number is pushed to the sales channel for that shipment, and the channel notifies the buyer. Partial shipments each carry their own number.
What is a split shipment?
One order shipped in more than one parcel, each with its own label and tracking. Fiftify numbers them F1, F2 and so on, and the store sees each fulfillment separately.
Does Fiftify support store pickup and local delivery?
Yes. An order can be marked for pickup or local delivery instead of a carrier label, and the packing sheet changes accordingly.
Can I use my own label printer with Fiftify?
Yes. Your label printer works as it is, so there is no new hardware to buy. The label is created after the items are scanned into the box, which means it always matches what is actually being shipped.
