Explains how to create a label once the shipping options have been configured.
Once you have set your shipping options and received a rate, click the Create + Print Label button.

If you have not connected a postage account and instead wish to create a label with the included DPD, Hermes, or Parcelforce services, you'll be prompted to set up ShipStation Carrier Services. To do this, go to Settings > Shipping > Carriers & Fulfillment
, then click Setup.

Enter your billing and credit card information into the pop-up screen, then click Add Payment and Continue. This billing information is used to purchase labels only. It will not affect your ShipStation trial or apply a subscription plan to your account.
You can now go back to the Orders screen and click the Create + Print Label button.
Depending on the carrier you've selected, you may then see the Cost Review screen.
The Cost Review screen details the costs for the label(s) you are about to create. It also allows you to modify the shipment date and determine how much postage you want to purchase (if using a pay-on-create carrier).
When adding funds to a provider balance, you must purchase at least enough for the cost of the selected labels.
For ShipStation Carrier Services providers, the minimum amount of postage you can purchase at one time is £10.

The Cost Review screen will appear if any of the following apply:
If you have selected a postage provider that charges for labels upon creation, your postage balance is not sufficient to cover the full cost, and you do not have auto-funding enabled.
If you are creating labels for multiple shipments at a time.
If you are creating labels from a batch.
When you are satisfied with your review, click the Continue button to proceed.
At this point, ShipStation sends a request to the carrier with your shipment details. The carrier then returns a label PDF to ShipStation.
When ShipStation has received the label, ShipStation automatically opens the Print Label pop-up screen. You can now print (or download) the label.
Move on to the Print a Label article for details.
