Functionality to preview labels without purchasing

[Simonwro120]

It would be nice if you could preview a label without generating or purchasing. Sometimes our team wants to customize the label format and view the layout but currently the only way to see your changes to a label is to process an order to shipped, purchase the label and then void the shipment.

Thank you ShipStation Team!

Hey there @Simonwro120, 

Welcome to the community! We are thrilled you've joined us.

You absolutely can create a preview label. To do this, navigate to your Printing settings > Printing Setup > Document options for the label. You can then see and print a preview of the label. In case you are a visual person like myself, check out this screenshot! 

If you change your store's default label option to your new custom for a moment, you can use this method to print out that test label. 

I hope this helps! Happy Shipping 🙂

this is not what they were asking. They were asking how to see a preview of the label before purchasing the label, meaning right before they click the purchase a label for an actual customer they want to see what that label will look like before paying. Your method will create a standard label. That is not the question.
