We would like to add the Canadian carriers under our US account in ShipStation. We have warehouses in USA and Canada, and sometimes it's cheaper to ship the Canadian orders from USA. By having all the carriers into 1 account, we can easily compare the shipping cost and choose the right warehouse and right carrier. Now we have to create separate account and navigate between the accounts to do that and also pay 2 subscriptions.

I need this feature as well. It looks like i'll have to more to another sihpping software to get it done. It suck because Shipstation is the best in so many ways, but this limitation would cost be tons of money. Having two accounts would mean a terrible workflow and all anaytics would become useless.

It would be great for the automation rules to be able to choose what's cheaper

We are using shipworks + Skuvalut now, and since the Skuvalut is not working very well with many products variations and shipworks not on cloud, we are having challenges when we are open the 2nd warehouse in USA So we are moving towards to Shipworks + Stichlabs now We need to have the same account to host my UPS Canada and UPS USA account, this will help us to know instantly which order been processed or we can have one controller to assign the order to specific warehouse.

We have the converse, but it's a similar situation: We need to be able to add USPS to our Canadian account. It's a shame it can't happen right now because It's causing a workflow mess trying to track the orders.

Everyone in canada that ships large volume uses USPS for the usa, i'm surprised that this feature has not been implemented yet, its a must for all canadian companies.

we need this too.... so for now.. we will not be a ship station customer... as this is unrealistic to log in and out of 2 ship station accounts just to ship.... not impressed!

Waiting on this feature, especially with the Canada Post lockout looming ahead. We are located just minutes away rom the border and would very much like to not manage (and pay) for two ShipStation accounts!

International warehouses (ship from locations) should not require 2 separate ShipStation accounts. Having a warehouse in Canada and USA should mean we can call rates and ship from the more appropriate location for each order. 2 separate accounts really complicates the integration and updating with our WooCommerce site. It seems strange that our website, our carrier accounts and literally every eCommerce integration can be managed with one account. Yet ShipStation adds a layer of complication for a simple concept. It's not sustainable and will force us to look elsewhere.

Obvious and MASSIVE shortcoming of ShipStation. Your response that your setup with carriers does not allow it is not true. I use the same FedEx account number in 2 ShipStation accounts. Crazy. Makes me constantly hunt for a better alternative to ShipStation.

Any further update on this? The solution is very easy - restrict access to carriers dependant on ship-from location. Absolutely nuts that we have to use two accounts to ship from the same location - can't imagine using a third account to ship from our upcoming warehouse in the UK.

It's a massive headache managing 2 shipstation accounts. Our companies would love this option

  • April 5, 2017
We're running into this same problem too. For our workflow having to keep two accounts straight is going to be a major issue. We need the ability to have a single ShipStation account with both USPS and Canada Post. @shipstation any updates or progress on this?

  • June 14, 2017
The ability to ship from the one shipstation would be ideal. it is a pain having the two different accounts!

  • January 5, 2018
I am not sure why this has not been addressed already. Please put this on the product roadmap. As everyone else has stated for different reasons. We have warehouses in Canada and the USA and would like to keep the workflow in one account.

  • January 11, 2018
Yes please - such a pain to login and out of the two accounts - we love everything else about ShipStation.

  • January 15, 2018
We are also interested in the status of this request to merge both US Shipstation and our Canadian Shipstation accounts. It would also help with inventory purposes. Thank you

I find it fraustrating that I am unable to use Canadian and USA shipping carriers from the same SHipStation Account. I have to manage and pay for two ShipStation accounts. I ma sure that there are a lot of businesses that operate within both Canada and the USA, so expected more flexibility from ShipStation, given how customizable other aspects of the software are.

Any updates? This is a major issue for us and seems like it should be a simple solution to fix. Would love to use just one shipstation account rather than trying to manage two accounts and having to make sure nothing double ships. We have tried other shipping software and they are able to do this. We are still using shipstation because all the other features are by far superior. Please add this functionality soon.

This is a must-have for our business, we're currently on 2 Shipstation managing DHL, Canada Post and Endicia on 5 different sales channels. It's a nightmare for customer service and for order management. We love Shipstation, but this is making us look at other providers!

This is also a super important feature for me. I'm based in Canada using Chit Chats to send US and Int orders via USPS. The whole purpose of the ship station account was to make managing this easier so it's super disappointing that I still have to toggle between two accounts to use both Canada Post and USPS.

Is there an update on this? It has been years and the response i got was to create a new shipstation account which just seems absurd! Please fix and allow Canada Post on US shipstation site as soon as possible.

What do companies do that have subdomains for multiple countries. Having to use different email addresses for all users for different country instances is very user un-friendly IMO. What is our customer service group going to do? We need Canada and Australia set up. and maybe additional countries. Please send a message to your product development team that this is something they need to address. In this day and time, we should have one shipping platform and the ability to add countries to it. No bueno.

This is very frustrating. The last comment you made in regards to this was is 2015, is there any updates, it's been 5 years? If you can not merge US and CAD carriers in one Shipstation account can you find a way to have the two ShipStation accounts mirror each other? If an order is marked shipping in one account it would be mark shipped in the other and if inventory can be linked between the two accounts? The way it API's with other market places could it not do the same with itself?

Any potential or bypass for this?

we have to implement multiple apps just to achieve this outcome. why cant i use shipstation to ship both canadapost and USPS, there are other apps like shippo that can. unfortunately there are other drawbacks with shippo
