Shopify requires an eligible fulfillment location, accurate shipment details and a desktop or supported label printer. Carrier eligibility varies by country. Suggested practice: qualify the merchant's shipping origin before advertising supported labels; store ownership alone does not establish access.

Shopify's label discounts vary with the merchant's Shopify plan, and supported carriers differ by location. Suggested practice: name the plan and origin used for any rate example and let merchants calculate rates before buying; this source supplies no universal discount percentage.

Shopify treats label purchase, printing, tracking and scheduling a carrier pickup as separate actions. Suggested practice: record a label purchase as that milestone, then verify carrier handoff and delivery separately. Buying a label alone does not demonstrate that the customer's parcel arrived.

Shopify enables customer return labels when the default location is in the US. For Canada Post shipments from Canada to the US, its guidance requires DDP starting August 28, 2025.
