In ShipStation, Branding is the ability to extend your brand identity into the shipping experience for your customers.

ShipStation offers several opportunities for branding:

Branding Setting

Description

Branded Email Notifications

Categorize your shipment and delivery confirmation email templates in ShipStation to include your company logo, name, social media links, and more!

Branded Packing Slips

Add your logo and company details to your packing slips.

Branded Shipping Labels

ShipStation can print your company logo on shipping labels for certain carriers and services.

Branded Tracking Page

Instead of sending customers to the carrier's tracking page, ShipStation can direct your customers to a branded page that includes the tracking information, your company logo and color scheme, and links to your social media accounts.

Branded Returns Portal

The Branded Return Portal provides a branded experience for your customers when they need to return their orders.

Branded SMS Notifications

Your customer can opt in to receive SMS notifications for updates about their shipment. This feature works with the Branded Tracking Page and requires using the email notification feature.

You can also override the company name that appears as the return address on shipping labels.

We recommend a PNG or JPG image file no larger than 300 x 300 pixels, with a non-transparent background.

Add your website URL to emails, packing slips and branded customer pages.

Social Links

Add your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram links to branded customer pages and notification emails.

Set each store to have its own Branded Tracking Page settings.

This will override the Branding Defaults and use the store specific settings instead. See the Branded Tracking Page article for more information.
