  • Payment Options: There are several ways to purchase postage on Pirate Ship. You can use any credit or debit card, PayPal, and/or connect your bank account to directly make ACH payments.

  • Choosing a Payment Method: You can choose your payment method by navigating to the Settings > Payment Method page, and clicking the blue "Add New" button to add a preferred payment method.

    • Here's how that looks:

When will I be charged?

  • Pay as you Go: You will only be charged when you purchase postage, and you will only be charged the exact amount of the postage.

    • Or Set a Default Payment Amount: You can also configure your account to have a Default Payment Amount, which can be helpful if you’re purchasing lots of postage with a debit/credit card and want fewer transactions on your statements.

Are there any fees on Pirate Ship?

  • Zero Fees or Hidden Costs: With Pirate Ship, you simply pay for postage as you go, at the deepest discounts possible!

    • Since there are no monthly fees or hidden costs, you don't need to provide any payment information to sign up for a free account... but you'll need to add a card when you're ready to buy postage.

Do I have to pay any tax on labels?

  • No Sales Tax on Labels: Shipping is excluded from sales tax, so there isn't any sales tax you'll need to pay on top of the cost of your postage!

How do I connect my bank account for ACH payments?

  • Setting Up ACH Payments: If you'd like to connect your bank account to buy postage via ACH payments, go to your Settings > Payment Method and click the green "Pay with your bank account" banner after you select "Add New Payment Method" 😉
