How to connect your store to Pirate Ship

  • Connect your source: The next page will prompt you to select your integration. You can either click the icon for your integration or choose it from the "Connect New Source" drop-down menu:

Follow your integration's prompts

    • Don't walk the plank, matey - it's not nearly as complicated as it sounds 😊 Follow the prompts and you'll be fine!

  • Save Connection: After following these steps, click "Save Connection" in your Integration Settings. YARRrrr ready to start importing y'er orders!

Using the Import grid

  • Pirate Ship imports unshipped orders: By default, Pirate Ship imports orders from your store that are marked as "Unfulfilled" or "Unshipped."

  • Refresh data to see the most recent orders: Our system automatically pulls in orders so you don't have to 👌 However, if you'd like to manually refresh your imports, click the blue "Refresh Data" button.

  • Customize your columns: The data columns displayed in your Import grid are 100% customizable. Learn how to filter and sort the columns on your grid.

    • For example, here's how our Import grid looks when we filter the "Source" column to only import orders from Shopify:

Get rate quotes for all your orders

  • Get rates: You can get instant rate quotes for your orders one at a time, or in bulk by selecting the checkbox in the top-left-hand corner of your grid. Here's how the "select all" function looks:

  • When you check that box, the green "Get Rates" button will display the number of orders you've selected (in this example, there are 28 total orders) 👍

Enter your package information

  • Enter your weight, dimensions, and Ship From Address: When you click "Get Rates," you'll be prompted to enter your package information on the next page. This section looks the same as when you create a single label:

  • Orders with different weights and dimensions: If your bulk order contains packages of different sizes, we recommend

Insurance and Extra Services

  • Protect your orders with insurance: Below your package info, you can select the "Insurance" checkbox to add optional InsureShield coverage to your shipment. InsureShield costs $1 for every $100 of declared value and covers you if something happens to your package during its journey.

Pro Pirate Tip: All UPS labels on Pirate Ship come with $100 of carrier liability, and all domestic USPS services except Media Mail include $100 of USPS insurance. If you need added coverage, InsureShield allows you to declare up to $10,000 per UPS label and up to $5,000 for USPS!

Learn how to add InsureShield coverage to your labels.

  • Extra services: If you click the "+" icon next to the Extra Services, you can choose optional add-ons to your labels. Extra Services include:

    • Signature Confirmation: If you need your package(s) signed for upon delivery.

    • Return Labels: If you need a pay-on-use return label included in your shipment.

    • Qualifies for Media Mail: If your items qualify for specially discounted rates (Media Mail rates are mostly reserved for educational materials or CDs, vinyl records, sheet music, books without advertising, etc)

    • Irregular Package: If your items aren't packed in a standard cardboard box or mailer.

Choose your shipping services

  • Domestic and international rates: In the above example, notice that Pirate Ship displays the rates for both domestic and international shipments. No matter where in the world your customers are located, we've got YARRrrr back!

Buy your labels in bulk

  • Buy all your labels: Scroll down to the bottom of this page and click the big green "Buy Labels" button to purchase all your labels at once. It's that easy!

Pirate Ship sends tracking data back to your integration

  • Tracking data automatically gets sent back: After you buy labels, Pirate Ship automatically sends each order's tracking information back to your online store. Your orders then get marked as "Fulfilled" or "Shipped," and they'll have the corresponding tracking number assigned to them 😎

Printing your labels

  • Printing: Printing your labels in a single batch is as simple as buying them. Click the big green "Print Labels" on the page that appears after you buy them, and you'll be set to sail ⛵

  • The printing process may vary slightly depending on the type of printer you're using, and the size of the labels you have selected in your Settings > General Settings.
