Tophatter Sellers: Top 5 Reasons to Choose ShipStation
What is ShipStation?
ShipStation is web-based shipping made easy. Their unique software provides a one-stop solution for shipping, fulfilling, and even returning orders from many online marketplaces, including Tophatter, Amazon, eBay, and more.
With its ease of use and outstanding utility ShipStation is one of Tophatter’s earliest integration partners. Tophatter sellers are able to connect to ShipStation directly via API or simply using CSV spreadsheets downloaded from Tophatter and uploaded to ShipStation for processing.
Whether you use USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL, ShipStation has the capability to print labels and packing slips for each order that comes through your seller accounts.
Benefits of using ShipStation
- Discounted USPS rates: ShipStation accounts include a free Stamps.com account, which gives you access to special rate reductions without any additional fees or surcharges.
- Compatible with multiple marketplaces: ShipStation is already integrated with many marketplaces, including Tophatter, and all orders come in through a single feed if desired. Each marketplace can be configured to account for any small nuances involved with a single marketplace.
- Batch shipping: Fulfill all your orders from all marketplaces from one window! Instead of printing and packing orders one at a time, you can have every unshipped order printed out for fulfillment, with a single SCAN form ready to save time and reduce the risk of losing packages due to the post office having to scan each item individually upon collection.
- Easy integration: ShipStation can connect with your Tophatter account through an API integration, which means your orders can be automatically retrieved in real time to fulfill. Once orders are fulfilled, ShipStation also updates your Tophatter orders with the appropriate tracking number to keep your order statuses up-to-date.
- Volume potential: When sellers save time that would otherwise go toward fulfilling orders and updating inventory, that time is now freed up to take on more order volume on Tophatter! More orders means more cash flowing into your bottom line.
“ShipStation is an integral part of every eCommerce tech stack. We provide a seamless solution that allows merchants to focus on growing their business rather than fulfilling orders.”
— Robert Gilbreath, VP of Marketing and Partnerships at ShipStation
