A label maker gets an address onto a sticker. Shipping label software also has to compare carriers and buy the postage. Mailhub does both from one screen and checks every address as you buy, so a day’s orders become printed labels at your discounted rate without retyping a single address.
Print up to 50 labels in one go, whichever carriers they use.
Every address is checked when you buy, so fewer labels get redone.
Download labels as PDFs, or as ZPL files for your thermal printer.
Tracking numbers go back to Shopify as soon as a label is bought.

Connect Shopify, or send orders in through the Mailhub Shipping API.
See every carrier’s rate side by side, then pick one.
Buy and print up to 50 labels in one go, at your rate.
