Hey hunters, I'm really excited to talk about the Shippo for Stripe app, which syncs orders from Stripe to Shippo where you can compare shipping rates, buy shipping labels and track shipments Shippo already provides shipping rates inside the Stripe API responses and with this app, we now make it simpler than ever to print labels and ship packages from Stripe. Our shipping dashboard helps...

Hi, it's Laura from Shippo. Thanks to Harry for the interview! I had a great time talking about what we do at Shippo, and all the thing we've learned over the last few years. If anyone has any questions about shipping, raising, or growing early stage startups, please let me know!

Hi PH! I’m Laura, founder of Shippo. We’ve been working with businesses over the last two years providing them instant access to multiple shipping carriers through one API, we’re really excited to be launching our second product today! Thanks for checking us out! We built this new Tracking API because we’ve noticed this swing in companies who are looking to use shipping information as a...

Hi @blendahtom, great question! Some most significant differences: 1. We're focused on forming partnerships with the shipping providers in addition to the tech solution.

This means, you get rates much faster than before because we don’t have to make a separate API...

We're big Shyp fans, we share the mission of making shipping...

I'm here all day, ask me anything :)

Hi @eriktorenberg! For everybody who doesn't know what Shippo is: we simplify shipping for e-commerce through our multi-carrier API & pass on shipping discounts. It's Amazon level logistics for all e-commerce merchants. This new API update is specifically designed to make shipping for marketplaces easier. It features a multi-account endpoint so that stores built on marketplaces can use their...

I use it because accounting is a pain but necessary!! Extremely glad that I don't have to do it on my own. Startups that solve necessary B2B evils are always much appreciated by their customers who are usually busy growing their own businesses. Plus, their customer service team is super responsive, which I appreciate a lot in B2B companies!

So yummy looking homemade, handmade & hand delivered baked goods in San Francisco. Just looking at the pics made my day.
