Question 1

Do I need accounts with Shippo, EasyPost, or ShipEngine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RateShip connects to your existing provider accounts using your API keys. You bring the keys, we provide the unified interface.

Question 2

Does RateShip charge per label?

Accepted Answer

No. RateShip is a flat $5/month for Pro. Label charges go directly to your provider account. We never touch your shipping money.

Question 3

What are the free plan limits?

Accepted Answer

The free plan includes 100 rate requests and 10 labels per month. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited access.

Question 4

Can I use the API without the dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro includes full API access. Generate an API key from your dashboard and use it in your code.

Question 5

Does RateShip handle my shipping money?

Accepted Answer

Never. When you buy a label through RateShip, the charge goes to your provider account (Shippo, EasyPost, or ShipEngine). RateShip is the routing layer, not the billing layer.

Simple pricing. No surprises.
