How to generate shipping labels with your AI

Connect ShipStation to your AI client once. From then on, you can manage fulfillment by simply asking your agent to find orders or handle labels.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I make shipping labels using my AI?

Yes. You can tell your AI to find orders by their tags and then instruct it to create or void labels. This gives you direct control over ShipStation through your chat interface.

The outcomes

What you get done

The AI handles the technical execution in ShipStation.

ORDER SEARCH

Tagged order lists

The AI pulls a list of orders that match the specific tags you mention. You get a clear view of the orders ready for processing.

LABEL CREATION

Instant shipping labels

The AI generates the label for a specific order immediately. You get the label ready for your shipping workflow without manual clicks.

VOID LABELS

Cancelled shipments

If you need to stop a shipment, the AI voids the label in ShipStation. This prevents incorrect charges and keeps your records clean.

HUMAN REVIEW

Final decision making

The AI shows you the order details and the results of its actions. You stay in control of which labels actually get finalized.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

Your agent translates your chat commands into specific ShipStation actions.

  1. Locate orders

    The AI scans your account for orders that carry the specific tags you've requested.

    list_orders_by_tag

  2. Generate label

    Once you identify the right order, the AI triggers the label creation process.

    create_label_for_order

  3. Void label

    If a mistake happens, the AI can cancel the label to stop the shipment.

    void_label

  4. Verify action

    The AI confirms that the label was created or the void was processed successfully.
