Flexible Shipping with Shippy's Subscription Plans

By Alexa Fangman

Finding the right shipping solution shouldn't feel like navigating a maze - Shippy's subscription plans are designed to grow with your business, giving you exactly what you need without the complexity.

Why One Size Doesn't Fit All in Shipping

Your shipping needs aren't the same as the business next door. Maybe you're sending 30 packages a month right now, but you know that'll double during the holidays. Or maybe you're just starting out and aren't ready to commit to a hefty monthly subscription when you're still figuring out your order volume.

That's the problem with most shipping tools - they lock you into plans that either waste your money on features you don't need, or leave you scrambling when you exceed limits you didn't see coming. You end up paying for 500 shipments when you only send 100, or you hit your cap mid-month and face surprise charges that mess with your budget.

Here at Dijy, we built Shippy's subscription plans to actually match how real businesses ship. Whether you're testing the waters with occasional orders or managing hundreds of shipments every month, you'll find a plan that fits without forcing you into a box that's too big or too small.

Finding Your Perfect Shippy Plan

Shippy offers four subscription tiers, each designed for different shipping volumes and feature needs. Let's break down what each plan includes so you can figure out which one makes sense for your business.

The Pay-As-You-Go option is perfect if you're just starting out or have unpredictable shipping volume. There's no monthly subscription commitment - you simply pay per shipment as you go. You'll get basic packing slips, unlimited users, and all the core shipping features without any upfront investment. This gives you the flexibility to test Shippy and scale up when you're ready.

Once you're shipping regularly, the Lite Shipper plan includes 50 packing slips and 50 shipments per month with all the core features and unlimited users. It's a solid entry point for small businesses with consistent but moderate shipping volume.

Super Shipper bumps you up to 100 packing slips and 100 shipments per month, plus adds workflow actions, packing slip customization, and the ability to connect your own carrier account. This means you can see your personalized carrier rates alongside Shippy's default rates, and you can automate more of your shipping process through HubSpot workflows.

Power Shipper takes things further with 500 packing slips and 500 shipments per month, plus Shippy Connect features. Shippy Connect is our desktop extension that connects your local printers and scales directly to Shippy - you can automatically populate package weight from your connected scale and optimize shipment creation by importing details directly from a packing slip's barcode. If you're managing higher volume and want to eliminate manual data entry, this is your plan.

For businesses shipping at high volume, we offer Mega Shipper with custom shipment allowances, BAA, and pricing. You'll get all the features included in Power Shipper, tailored to your specific needs.

Growing Your Shipping Without Growing Your Headaches

Here's what makes Shippy different: overage pricing that's actually transparent. If you exceed the labels or shipments allotted in your monthly plan, you're not stuck with surprise fees or service interruptions. You simply pay for the additional shipments you create, and you can track your usage right inside your Shippy settings.

This means you can choose a plan based on your typical monthly volume without worrying that one busy week will blow your budget. If you hit 120 shipments on your Super Shipper plan instead of your usual 80, you'll pay a small per-shipment overage fee for those extra 20 - no drama, no service cutoff, no scrambling to upgrade mid-month.

The overage structure also gives you breathing room to test whether you need to move up a tier. Maybe you're consistently hitting 110 shipments on your Super Shipper plan. Instead of immediately committing to Power Shipper's 500-shipment allowance, you can pay the occasional overage for a few months and see if your volume actually stabilizes at that higher level. Once you know you're consistently shipping 200+ packages per month, upgrading makes financial sense.

You can also choose between annual and monthly commitments for your subscription. Monthly billing gives you maximum flexibility; you can adjust your plan tier as your business changes without being locked into a long-term contract. Annual commitments typically offer cost savings if you know your shipping volume is stable and you want to reduce your monthly expense.

What Makes Shippy Different from Standalone Shipping Tools

Most shipping platforms live outside your CRM, which means you're constantly jumping between systems. You're looking at an order in HubSpot, copying information over to another shipping tool, creating the label, then coming back to HubSpot to update the order record and paste in the tracking number.

Shippy lives inside HubSpot. You create shipping labels with just a few clicks directly from your deal, order, or contact records. The app automatically creates custom property groups and pipelines on your HubSpot objects, and you manage shipments through interactive app cards without ever leaving your CRM.

This integration means your shipping data stays centralized with all your other customer information. When a shipment is created, tracking details automatically sync to the relevant record. Your sales team can see exactly when a customer's order was shipped and delivered without asking around or checking another platform. Your service team can pull up complete shipment history during support calls.

Because Shippy is built specifically for HubSpot users, it also works with HubSpot workflows. On the Super Shipper plan and above, you can trigger automated actions based on shipment status changes. Send a personalized email when a package is delivered. Create a follow-up task for your sales rep when a sample shipment reaches the prospect. Update deal stages automatically when international customs documentation is completed.

You'll also get detailed reporting and tracking of shipment activities through Shippy Dashboard, which visualizes your shipment volume, delivery rates, and pipeline stages with customizable reports you can schedule and share with your team. This gives you visibility into your shipping operations without building custom reports from scratch.

Making the Switch to Smarter Shipping

Choosing the right subscription plan starts with understanding your current shipping volume and where you expect to be in the next few months. Look at your shipment history for the past three months - what's your average monthly volume? What was your highest volume month?

If your volume fluctuates significantly or you're just getting started, the Pay-As-You-Go model gives you flexibility without commitment. Once your volume stabilizes above 30-40 shipments per month, moving to Lite Shipper or Super Shipper typically makes more financial sense.

Think about which features actually matter for your workflow. If you're managing higher volume and spending significant time on manual data entry, the printer and scale connectivity in Power Shipper will save you real hours every week. If you need to connect your own carrier account to access negotiated rates, you'll want Super Shipper or above.

Annual commitments make sense when your shipping volume is predictable and you want to reduce costs. Monthly plans give you the flexibility to adjust as your business grows or seasonal patterns emerge. Either way, the overage structure means you're not stuck if you occasionally exceed your plan limits.

Ready to streamline your shipping inside HubSpot? Take a look at Shippy's subscription plans and choose the one that matches where your business is today. You can always adjust as you grow - that's the whole point of flexible pricing that actually works with you.
