Shopify integration: an order becomes a parcel in two clicks

Setup takes five minutes inside your own admin — no developer, no App Store, no review queue. After that the address, phone and order contents fill themselves in, and the buyer gets the tracking number from your store, not from us.

What changes in your day

Today, by hand

  • Open the order and retype the name, address, postcode and phone into a shipping form
  • Estimate the weight, compare rates, buy the label
  • Go back to Shopify, mark the order fulfilled and paste the tracking number

Two to three minutes per order. Plus the address typo that sends the parcel straight back.

With the integration

  • The order is already in your cabinet: recipient, address, phone, contents and weight
  • Pick a rate and buy the label
  • Shopify marks the order fulfilled and emails the buyer the tracking number

Under a minute per order. The address comes from Shopify, so there is nothing to mistype.

Fifty orders a month is about two hours of manual work that comes back to you every single month.

How it works

1

Create the app

Five clicks in your own Shopify admin. No App Store, no review queues.

2

Paste the token

Store address and token on the Shopify page of your YouSend cabinet. One time only.

3

Create shipments

Unfulfilled orders are already in the cabinet with addresses and weights: pick a rate, buy the label.

4

Tracking goes back by itself

The order in Shopify is marked fulfilled and the buyer gets the tracking number by email from your store.

Setup: three steps, five minutes

Everything happens in your own store admin, no developer needed. The button names below are exactly the ones Shopify shows.

1

Open the apps section

In your Shopify admin: Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps. If Shopify asks to confirm, press Allow custom app development.

We open the right Shopify page in a new tab. The address is only used to build the link, we do not store it.

2

Create the app and tick four permissions

Create an app → name it YouSend → Create app. Then on the Configuration tab, next to Admin API integration, press Configure, tick the permissions listed below, press Save and then Install app.

read_orders
write_fulfillments
read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders
write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders
3

Copy the token into your cabinet

Open the API credentials tab → Reveal token once. Paste the line that starts with shpat_ together with the store address on the Shopify page of your YouSend cabinet — the orders appear straight away.

In stores opened after January 2026 Shopify hid the Develop apps section. If the button is missing - message us and we will connect you together in 10 minutes.

Questions

Do I need a developer?

No. Creating the app is five clicks in the Shopify admin, and every button name is right above on this page and on the connection page in your cabinet.

Which couriers are available?

Every courier connected to YouSend: UPS, FedEx, DPD and others — at your personal rates. The list keeps growing.

Is the token safe?

The token is stored encrypted, is never shown again and can be revoked in your Shopify admin at any moment. Its access is limited to orders and fulfillments — no products, customers or store settings.

What does it cost?

The integration is free. You pay only for shipping at your usual YouSend rates.

Does it work on my Shopify plan?

On the Shopify, Advanced and Plus plans, yes. On the Basic plan Shopify does not share buyer addresses with apps, so an order cannot be turned into a shipment: write to us and we will suggest what to do.

What if I do not have many orders yet?

All the more reason to connect now: the setup is one-off, there is no subscription, and your very next order ships in two clicks.

Ship your next order in two clicks

Setup takes five minutes and costs nothing. Rather not do it alone? Message us and we will connect it together.
