ShipStation integration

ShipStation in Polar: real shipping cost, in your margin.

ShipStation runs your multi-carrier shipping. Connect it and your shipping costs, carriers and delivery data flow into Polar, so landed margin reflects what fulfillment actually costs, per order and per SKU, not a gross number with shipping left out.

ShipStation ships the orders. Polar puts the cost in your margin.

ShipStation knows exactly what shipping costs, but it lives in its own dashboard, apart from revenue and margin. So landed profit is a guess. Polar folds it in.

ShipStation on its own

  • Shipping cost sits apart from margin.
  • No landed-cost view per SKU or carrier.
  • Gross margin ignores fulfillment.
  • Delivery disconnected from support.

ShipStation with Polar

Featured Use Case

Landed margin, not gross.

Landed margin, not gross

Shipping is one of the biggest costs a brand ignores in its margin, because it lives in the shipping tool, not the P&L. ShipStation knows what every label costs; Polar ingests that and folds it into landed contribution margin, per order and per SKU. Margin becomes landed, not gross, you can see which products and carriers quietly eat profit, and route decisions get made on real numbers.

What makes it real

Cost in margin. Shipping cost blended into landed contribution margin, per SKU and carrier.

Route smarter. Cost and delivery by carrier, so you pick the right one.

Ask Polar, in plain language. “Show landed margin per SKU including shipping cost.” No SQL, no export.
