DECADE.promo and ShipStation
A pure-broker promo distributor never touches a box. A distributor who carries blank inventory or kits welcome boxes does. ShipStation is the layer that prints labels, prints packing slips, and reconciles tracking back to your order data.
When self-shipping beats drop-shipping
Welcome kits where you assemble the box yourself. Replacement orders where you keep a small inventory of common items. Holiday gift programs where the customer needs personalization at scale. Any time the labor of kitting is yours, not a fulfillment partner's, ShipStation lives in your stack.
The ShipStation handoff
A confirmed order in DECADE.promo gets pushed to ShipStation as a shipment record. ShipStation prints the label and the packing slip. The tracking number flows back to DECADE.promo where the customer portal picks it up and the auto-tracking polls the carrier for status updates.
When ShipStation is overkill
Under 50 packages a month, ShipStation's monthly fee is not worth it. The DECADE.promo built-in label workflow (or just buying a label directly through UPS/FedEx for an occasional self-ship) is enough.
What we built differently in DECADE.promo
Every AI tool on the GOAT plan
AI mockups, Product Capture (browser-extension AI scraping of supplier sites), AI vectorization, and AI image upscale - all included on the flat-price GOAT tier with generous daily fair-use limits. No per-credit metering, no per-feature add-ons.
AI Product Capture extension
Browse any supplier website - SAGE, Hit Promo, Koozie Group, anywhere - click the browser extension, and our AI reads the page. SKUs, pricing tiers, setup fees, colors, lead times, and images are extracted in seconds and import directly to your products catalog.
Tightly integrated with SAGE
Bring your own SAGE Connect subscription. Search, adopt products, and pull pricing tiers without leaving DECADE.promo. Sales decks, quotes, and POs reuse the SAGE data automatically.
Art that is actually print-ready
Image Enhance upscales a low-res logo to real print size without going soft, removes backgrounds to a transparent PNG, and lets you set the finished size in inches at your target DPI. The file a customer emails is almost never the file you can print - this closes that gap inside the same app that runs the order.
Transparent pricing
One plan for the whole distributor - no tiers to decode. Flat per-distributor pricing; extra GOAT team seats are 50% of the plan price, only when you add them. Customers free. Suppliers free.
