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.
