A browser dashboard fits managing orders and printing labels from a computer.

Plan ahead: Buying a label spends real money, so require confirmation and prevent repeat purchases when an order syncs or a request retries.

A prompt to build your own version of ShipStation

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your ShipStation-style app, first version

Build a web app for me to manage shipping for my online stores. The main screen should show orders from several sample stores, with search and filters for store and shipping status. Clicking an order should open its items, delivery address, package weight, and dimensions. Let me edit the package details, view sample shipping rates, and select a rate to open a printable sample label preview. Clearly mark rates and labels as demo data and do not buy real postage. Use a clean white and navy dashboard with clear status badges. Include realistic sample orders with different shipping statuses.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade ShipStation won't have

ShipStation gives sellers negotiated carrier discounts and established carrier partnerships that building a shipping dashboard does not provide.

  • ShipStation negotiated carrier discounts
  • Established carrier partnership agreements
  • ShipStation shipping support team
