  1. What you'll need
  2. Set these up first

Creating an Octoship account takes about a minute. There's no subscription, no plan to choose and no minimum volume. You only ever pay for the postage you buy, at the discounted rate shown when you buy it.

What you'll need

  • An email address you check regularly — receipts and carrier notices go here.
  • The address you'll ship from.
  • A card or bank account for postage.

Set these up first

  1. 1
    Confirm your email

    Click the link we send you. Some features, like store connections, wait until your email is confirmed.

  2. 2
    Add a ship-from address

    See Setting up ship-from addresses.

  3. 3
    Choose your label format

    Pick 4×6 or 8.5×11 under Settings → Printing so every label prints right the first time.
