Shippo + NetSuite Integration

Shippo is a multi-carrier shipping API that gives businesses access to discounted rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and dozens of other carriers through a single platform. For companies running NetSuite, integrating Shippo means you can rate shop, print labels, and track shipments across all your carriers from within your ERP, without building separate integrations for each one.

At BrokenRubik, we build Shippo-NetSuite integrations that simplify your shipping operations. Instead of managing multiple carrier accounts and tools, your warehouse team works from a single workflow in NetSuite with access to every carrier Shippo supports.

How Shippo + NetSuite Works

The integration connects Shippo's REST API to NetSuite's fulfillment workflow. When a sales order is ready to ship, the integration sends package details, ship-to address, and shipping preferences from NetSuite to Shippo. Shippo returns rate quotes from all configured carriers, allowing your team to select the best option. Once a rate is selected, the shipping label is generated, the tracking number writes back to NetSuite, and the label is available for printing.

As the shipment moves through the carrier network, Shippo aggregates tracking events from the carrier and pushes them to NetSuite, giving you unified tracking data regardless of which carrier is handling the package.

Key Features

• Multi-carrier rate shopping: Compare real-time shipping rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and 50+ other carriers within NetSuite before selecting a service for each shipment.
• One-click label generation: Generate shipping labels from any Shippo-supported carrier directly from NetSuite fulfillment records. Labels are attached to the record and ready for printing.
• Unified tracking: Track shipments across all carriers through a single integration. Shippo normalizes tracking events so status updates are consistent regardless of the carrier.
• Discounted shipping rates: Access Shippo's pre-negotiated rates with USPS, UPS, and other carriers, often lower than what you would get with a direct carrier account at lower volumes.
• Address validation: Ship-to addresses are validated before label creation, reducing failed deliveries and carrier surcharges.
• Shipping cost posting: Actual label costs from Shippo post to NetSuite, giving your finance team accurate shipping expense data for margin analysis.
• Return label generation: Create return shipping labels through Shippo for any supported carrier and associate them with RMA records in NetSuite.

Common Use Cases

Growing e-commerce businesses that ship across multiple carriers and want a single integration point rather than building and maintaining separate connections for UPS, USPS, FedEx, and others.

Companies optimizing shipping costs that want to rate shop across carriers for every shipment to find the best combination of speed and price.

Businesses without carrier account relationships that want to leverage Shippo's discounted rates with major carriers, especially for USPS Commercial pricing.

Multi-warehouse operations that need different carrier options at different locations and want centralized shipping management through NetSuite and Shippo.

Getting Started

Shippo integration is often faster than building individual carrier integrations because Shippo handles the carrier complexity. We configure the Shippo connection to NetSuite, set up your carrier accounts within Shippo, and define the shipping rules and rate preferences that match your business requirements.

Most Shippo-NetSuite integrations go live within two to four weeks.
