Which carriers does GoatLabels support?

USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, rate-shopped on every parcel from one account with one all-in number per carrier, plus an international network. Parcels ship from US and Singapore origins. Regional carriers and LTL carriers are not available.

Can I connect my own UPS or FedEx account?

No. GoatLabels does not support bring-your-own carrier accounts or negotiated rates. Labels are bought through your GoatLabels account at the price quoted. If your own contract rates matter, choose software built around your carrier accounts.

How much does multi-carrier shipping software cost with GoatLabels?

Free is $0 a month with 50 shipments a month. Pro is $40 a month flat with unlimited shipments and cheaper label rates. Labels are paid from a prepaid wallet funded by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, or crypto. There is no contract.

How do orders get into the software?

Three ways: 13 store connectors including Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, BigCommerce, and Magento; a bulk CSV import of up to 500 rows per file that names the row and field of any error; or the REST API. There are no native ERP or WMS connectors.

Does multi-carrier mean one invoice?

With GoatLabels, yes in effect. Labels from every carrier debit one prepaid wallet, and each debit is a dated ledger entry carrying your reference. Re-weigh adjustments post to the same ledger. You do not receive separate carrier invoices.

Can I talk to someone about our carrier mix first?

Yes. Email contact@goatlabels.io with your monthly parcel volume, typical weights and dimensions, origin and destination regions, and the carriers you use today. We price your parcels across USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL and show the ledger. There is nothing to sign.

Multi-carrier shipping software, compared

Which model of multi-carrier shipping software fits your team?

Every multi-carrier shipping platform follows one of two models. In one, you hold the carrier contracts and the software connects to them. In the other, the carriers come with the account. GoatLabels is the second model: four carriers included, no contracts to bring, and no way to import your own rates. The table uses only what each vendor publishes; checked 2026-10-06.

What is multi-carrier shipping software?

Multi-carrier shipping software is a single tool that requests prices from several carriers for the same parcel, lets a person or a rule choose one, and prints that carrier's label. It replaces a row of carrier websites, each with its own login, address book, label format, and invoice.

For a B2B team the value of multi-carrier label software is less about the label and more about what surrounds it. Orders come from one place, such as a store, a file, or an API call. Tracking numbers come back in one format. Shipping cost lands in one record that finance can read. A shipping desk that handles forty parcels a day across three carriers feels the difference at once.

What are the two models of multi-carrier shipping software?

There are two models: bring your own carrier contracts, or one account with the carriers included. In the first, your company signs with each carrier, negotiates rates, and enters those account numbers into the software, which acts as a control panel. Each carrier still invoices you directly.

In the second model the software vendor holds the carrier relationships. You open one account, see a price per carrier, and pay the vendor for each label. There is nothing to negotiate and nothing to renew, but the rates are the vendor's rates, not yours. GoatLabels works this way, with USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL quoted as one all-in number each.

When does bringing your own carrier contracts make sense?

Bringing your own contracts makes sense when your parcel volume is large and steady enough that a carrier has given you rates worth protecting. It also fits when a customer or retailer requires shipments on a named account, or when you need carriers and services beyond the four majors.

The cost is administrative. Someone owns each carrier agreement, tracks its terms, and reconciles a separate invoice per carrier each period. Software in this model can come with an implementation project and a quote from sales. That effort pays off for a distribution network with many sites and lanes; it is heavy for a single warehouse shipping mixed B2B orders.

When does one account with carriers included make sense?

One account with carriers included makes sense when you have no negotiated rates, or when your volume is spread too thinly across carriers to earn strong ones. You can start without opening a carrier agreement, and every parcel is compared across USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL without a contract behind any of them.

It also simplifies the books. In GoatLabels each label debits the quoted amount from a prepaid wallet and writes a dated ledger entry that carries your order or customer reference. Carrier re-weigh adjustments post to the same ledger. Finance reads one export instead of four carrier invoices, and a multi-carton order shows as several lines under one reference.

When is GoatLabels the wrong multi-carrier shipping software?

GoatLabels is the wrong choice if you need to ship on your own carrier accounts or negotiated rates, because it does not support them. It also has no LTL or freight, no native ERP, WMS, or EDI connectors, no SSO, no SLA, no sub-accounts, and no retailer compliance labels such as GS1-128.

Teams with regional carriers, pallet freight on the same screen as parcels, or a retailer routing guide to follow usually need an enterprise multi-carrier shipping solution built around their own contracts. GoatLabels suits B2B teams that ship parcels on the four major carriers, want prices compared on every order, and prefer a flat monthly fee to a carrier negotiation.

Public API v1

Four carriers behind one API key.

One integration covers USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, so your developers do not build and maintain a client per carrier. The REST API has unlimited calls on every plan, live and test keys, Idempotency-Key support, signed replayable webhooks, and rate-limit headers. API labels and dashboard labels spend the same prepaid wallet.
