Buy and print shipping labels

Get live carrier rates, purchase a label, and print it for a packed order.

Updated June 21, 20261 min read

Once an order is packed, Fiddle quotes live rates from your connected carriers so you can buy and print a label without leaving the order.

Buy a label

  1. Open a packed fulfillment order and click Ship.
  2. Confirm the package type, weight, and dimensions — rates depend on them.
  3. Review the rates returned per carrier and service.
  4. Select a service and click Buy label.
  5. The cost is deducted from your shipping wallet.

After purchase, the label is attached to the order as a PDF.

  • Click Print to send it to your label printer or browser.
  • Reprint anytime from the order — the purchased label stays available.
  • Print a packing slip alongside the label if your workflow needs one.

Use a 4×6 thermal printer for the cleanest output. Set your printer to the label’s actual size rather than scaling it to a full sheet.

If a rate or purchase fails

Problem Likely cause
