SAP B1 ↔ Shippo — Multi-Carrier Rates, Labels + Tracking
The SAP Business One ↔ Shippo connector by ERPPlugs pulls Sales Orders from SAP B1 into Shippo for rate-shopping across 40+ carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Canada Post, Royal Mail), prints labels, and posts the resulting fulfillment (tracking number + carrier + shipping cost + label URL) back to SAP B1 with the Sales Order marked shipped. Turns a multi-step shipping workflow into a one-click flow inside SAP B1.
Rate-shop 40+ carriers, print labels, and post fulfillment + tracking + shipping cost back to SAP B1 in one click — no more tab-switching between B1 and carrier portals.
What this connector does
Shippo is the multi-carrier shipping platform of choice for SMB + mid-market ecommerce brands — 100,000+ merchants use it because rate-shopping across 40+ carriers on every order beats hardwiring one carrier. But the SAP Business One side of the flow is manual — the fulfillment team opens Shippo, keys in the order details, picks a rate, prints the label, then goes back to SAP B1 to mark the order shipped with the tracking number. Every order costs 2-4 minutes of tab-switching, and errors happen (wrong tracking number pasted, wrong shipping cost recorded).
The ERPPlugs SAP B1 ↔ Shippo connector wires the Shippo API into SAP B1 so the whole flow happens with one click. Sales Orders in SAP B1 (from any channel — Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Faire) that are ready-to-ship push to Shippo automatically with the ship-to address, item weights + dimensions (pulled from SAP B1 item masters), and any handling notes. Shippo rate-shops across your enabled carriers and returns the cheapest / fastest / most-appropriate rate per your business rules. The fulfillment team confirms, prints the label, and the connector posts the fulfillment back to SAP B1 — tracking number, carrier, service level, actual shipping cost paid, and the label URL for reprints.
The accounting side stays clean. Shipping cost paid to Shippo (which bills weekly across all carriers) posts as an AP invoice against Shippo's Business Partner. Because Shippo charges you the negotiated carrier rate + a small platform fee, the platform fee posts to a distinct Shipping Platform Fees GL account for margin analysis. Insurance premiums (if you insure via Shippo's Shipsurance) post to Shipping Insurance Expense.

Frequently Asked Questions
When a Sales Order is marked ready-to-ship in SAP B1, the ERPPlugs connector pushes it to Shippo with the ship-to address, item weights + dimensions, and any business rules you've configured (cheapest / fastest / preferred-carrier / carrier-blacklist). Shippo returns rates from every enabled carrier; the fulfillment team confirms the choice (or business rules pick automatically) and the label prints. The chosen rate + carrier + service level all post back to SAP B1 on the Sales Order.
Shippo bills weekly across all carriers combined — one weekly invoice covers all labels printed that week. The ERPPlugs connector receives Shippo's weekly billing report and posts an AP Invoice against Shippo's Business Partner in SAP B1. Because the connector already recorded per-order shipping cost on each Sales Order at label-print time, the AP Invoice reconciles line-by-line against those individual costs — any discrepancy (carrier surcharge, address correction fee) is flagged for review.
Yes. Shippo supports international carriers (DHL Express, DHL eCommerce, FedEx International, USPS International, Canada Post) with automatic customs form generation. The ERPPlugs connector pushes HS codes + country of origin + item value from SAP B1 item masters to Shippo, which generates the customs forms per carrier requirements. International duties + taxes are handled by DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) or DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) per your business setup.
When an RMA is created in SAP B1 (via the Loop Returns integration, Gorgias flow, or manually), the ERPPlugs connector can generate a pre-paid return label via Shippo automatically and email it to the customer. Return label cost posts as Shipping Expense (or Returns Expense if you want it segregated for RMA-cost visibility) in SAP B1.
It replaces most of them for shipping origination. Shippo handles USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and 40+ others directly, so you don't need separate sap-b1-fedex + sap-b1-dhl + sap-b1-ups + sap-b1-shipstation connectors if you're using Shippo. Where the carrier-specific connectors still help is deep integration features (like FedEx's bulk-billing enterprise accounts, DHL's freight forwarding) that Shippo doesn't cover.
