Shippo Shipping Automation & Approvals
Run Shippo on autopilot. Keep the veto.
95 actions
A batch shipment fires before you catch the wrong carrier rate, wrong template, wrong everything. Rills proposes each Shippo action; you approve before it ships.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential e-commerce action from Shippo arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.
Queue 3
Purchase labels for 34 orders using USPS Priority rate?
34 orders · all marked ready to ship since yesterday
Avg label cost $8.42 · total batch $286.28
Same carrier and template as last Thursday's run
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, no 3am stomach-drop wondering what shipped while you slept.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Shippo automation
Batch shipments, carrier account updates, and refund requests inside Shippo can go out the moment something upstream changes, and the ones that go wrong show up as angry customers, not error logs.
When Shippo runs unsupervised
Shippo automation moves fast. A merchant transaction fires, a refund posts, a parcel template gets deleted, and by the time you see it the label is already purchased or the customer already has the wrong confirmation.
- A Create Merchant Transaction runs against a stale rate and purchases a carrier label at the wrong price before you see the quote.
- A Create Merchant Refund processes on a flagged order you were already disputing with the carrier.
- A Delete Default Parcel Template removes a template used across active listings, breaking every label that follows.
- A Create Merchant Batch queues dozens of shipments using a service group you were in the middle of changing.
- A Create Merchant Carrier Account adds credentials you haven't verified, and every subsequent rate pull routes through it silently.
What Rills does inside Shippo
Rills sits between the trigger and the Shippo action. Before a Create Merchant Transaction purchases a label, before a Create Merchant Refund posts, or before a Create Merchant Batch goes out, the proposal waits in your queue for you to approve Shippo actions on your terms.
The label still gets bought; you just see the rate, the carrier, and the template before it ships.
Why Shippo has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Shippo does not emit native event triggers, so nothing fires automatically to start a workflow. Rills compensates by polling, scheduling, and connecting upstream signals so e-commerce operators still get timely Shippo automation without unsupervised execution.
- Scheduled polling on List Merchant Transactions surfaces new orders on a cadence you set, then proposes a batch label run for your approval.
- Upstream order events from your store trigger a Create Merchant Shipment proposal, queued before any label is purchased.
- A scheduled check on List Merchant Carrier Accounts flags credential changes or new accounts added outside Rills so nothing routes through an unreviewed carrier.
- A Create Live Rate call runs on a schedule before your daily batch, proposing the cheapest qualifying service group and waiting for your call before committing.
