StarShip vs. Acumatica Shipping: Why Many Businesses Choose StarShip as Their Shipping Software for Acumatica

Written by Michelle Hall on Thu, Feb 05, 2026 @ 11:06 AM

At Acumatica Summit, we spoke with many Acumatica users who shared the same challenge: while Acumatica Shipping can handle basic label printing, it often lacks the functionality and flexibility growing businesses need to keep up with real-world shipping demands. As order volume increases and shipping requirements become more complex, many companies find themselves looking for a more powerful solution.

That’s why so many Acumatica users choose StarShip as their preferred shipping software for Acumatica.


A Fraction of the Cost of Competitive Solutions

Many advanced shipping platforms come with high price tags, long implementations, and expensive ongoing fees.

StarShip delivers the same high-impact functionality businesses need, often at a fraction of the cost of other competitive shipping solutions. That makes it an ideal choice for companies that want powerful shipping capabilities without overpaying for unnecessary complexity.


Rate Shop Across Your Contracted Carriers

StarShip has 30+ small parcel, LTL, and 3PL integrations, allowing you to rate shop using the carrier accounts and contracted rates you already have.

Your team can quickly compare service levels and costs in one place, without jumping between systems.


Ship Multi-Piece Orders in One Transaction

If you ship multiple boxes per order, StarShip makes it easy.

You can process multi-piece shipments in a single workflow, generating all labels and tracking information at once. That means faster fulfillment and fewer errors.


Support Blind Drop Ship and Third-Party Billing

StarShip helps businesses manage more complex shipping needs, including:

  • Blind drop shipments
  • Third-party shipments

This is essential for distributors, wholesalers, and companies working with outside fulfillment partners.


Add Reference Details to Shipping Labels

StarShip lets you include important information directly on labels, such as:

  • Order numbers
  • Customer IDs
  • Custom reference fields

That extra visibility helps warehouse teams stay accurate and organized.


Automate Shipping Decisions with Rules

With StarShip’s rules engine, you can automatically select the best shipping method based on weight, zone, delivery speed, or customer preferences.

This reduces manual decisions, lowers shipping costs, and keeps orders moving.


The Bottom Line

Acumatica Shipping covers the basics. But if your business is looking for more control, automation, scalability, and affordability, StarShip is the preferred shipping software for Acumatica users.

It’s built to help you ship faster, reduce costs, and simplify fulfillment as you grow.
