Here’s how Easyship helps Square merchants to cut costs and coordinate fulfillment in a snap.

Unlock the Cheapest Shipping Rates

Good news! You never have to pay full price for shipping ever again. After a quick two-click integration, Square users get instant access to discounted shipping rates up to 91% off from hundreds of global couriers, including:

  • USPS;
  • UPS;
  • FedEx;
  • DHL;
  • Plus 250+ global couriers.

These savings are available because Easyship is a certified partner with all shipping couriers due to its high volume of annual shipments. We then pass these business-class discounts on to you for all domestic and international shipments.

Finding the cheapest courier rates with Easyship is simple. Just tap the "Get a Quote" button in the Easyship dashboard. In seconds, you'll receive a list of quotes from all the cheapest and fastest courier services available for your shipment.

For example, below are the real-time discounted courier rates for a one-pound shipment from LA to NY.

You save 27% on USPS First Class and 36% off UPS Next Day Air with Easyship, among other courier options.

These savings can make all the difference, says Jacqueline Heubermann, co-owner of the knife company Bone Daddy BladeWerx. “Our shipping expenses would’ve been off the wall had it not been for Easyship,” said Heubermann. Couriers have rolled out new surcharges since the pandemic, so finding the best shipping rates is even more of a priority for small businesses.

Easyship gives Square users the same discounts normally reserved for big companies. Simply browse the discount rates and purchase your label. Easyship then automatically generates your shipping label, invoice, and packing slip automatically – help you save money and time.

Boost Sales with Tailored Shipping Options

In the wake of Amazon Prime, free shipping, free returns, and fast delivery are top of mind with shoppers. So much so that people prioritize brands with premium shipping options. In turn, companies that offer a bouquet of shipping options (similar to Amazon) are being rewarded with greater sales.

Easyship helps you win over choosy shoppers with Rates at Checkout's cart optimization feature. With Rates at Checkout, you can display your choice of three live courier rates in checkout – the cheapest, the fastest, and the best value shipping option. All rates are sourced in real-time from courier sites and pre-calculated to each order.

Below is the shopping cart of design studio Craighill that uses Rates at Checkout. The company uses USPS First Class for standard shipping, USPS Priority for its value option, and offers FedEx Overnight for rush delivery.

Many shoppers opt for standard shipping and a few want rush delivery. But all shoppers appreciate the transparency and the selection. Research shows that buyers are more likely to complete a purchase when they have shipping options to choose from. With Easyship, you can provide a range of appealing options for shoppers as part of seamless, conversion-optimized checkout flow.

Save Money with Smart Automation

Online stores face a challenge: how do you cost-effectively ship to everyone?

As your inventory and customer base grows, the more your shipping costs vary. This is because shipping costs fluctuate based on what you're shipping, where it’s going, and other factors. If you only use a few courier services to ship everything to everyone, you can actually lose money. This is doubly true if you offer free shipping.

The solution is to use a variety of shipping services, then match each shipment type with a cost-effective courier service. For example:

  • US shipments under one pound: USPS Priority Mail
  • Heavy items shipped in the US: USPS Flat Rate
  • Standard free shipping to Europe: DHL Express
  • Rush shipping to Canada: FedEx 2-Day Air

In effect, you can predict, control and minimize your shipping costs by using the right service for every shipment.  

Easyship allows you to automate which courier service gets used for each order. This way, you never overpay for shipping. The Shipping Rules feature in Easyship lets you set rule-based preferences that automate which courier services appear in the checkout based on a range of shipping factors, including:

  • Delivery destination;
  • Package size/weight;
  • Shipment value;
  • Preferred courier;
  • Delivery speed;
  • Insured/uninsured;
  • Duty and tax;
  • And more.

Seen below are the Shipping Rules for a site offering free shipping on orders over $50.

With Easyship, you can ensure all your items ship cost-effectively using the most appropriate courier service. This feature also ensures any free shipping you offer uses a cost-effective courier to any global destination, all without lifting a finger.
