Shiprocket

Overview

Shiprocket is a shipping and fulfillment service for online merchants, from order booking through delivery. It is best suited to eCommerce sellers and digital retailers shipping within India who need to coordinate orders across storefronts. Its strongest case is the breadth of courier and fulfillment tools; the free entry plan is constrained enough that growing sellers will need to weigh the paid tiers carefully.

Key features

Shiprocket connects sellers with more than 25 courier partners and supports delivery to over 19,000 Indian pin codes. Its AI-based courier recommendations and rate shopping help compare shipping options, while automation and label printing support routine fulfillment. That combination can streamline shipping for Indian orders, but the stated network makes it a less obvious fit for businesses whose main need is delivery elsewhere.

Shipment tracking can send buyers updates by email, SMS and WhatsApp at each stage. A returns portal supports post-delivery workflows, and shipment security cover addresses transit risks such as loss and damage. Together, these tools cover more than dispatch alone, although sellers should consider whether the cover suits their shipments.

Integrations include Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart, Magento, Unicommerce, BigCommerce and Zoho Commerce. API integration is available through account settings, but access is reserved for Advanced and Pro. The mobile app adds a rate calculator, cross-channel order syncing, automatic documentation and real-time tracking. It is free to download, with shipping rates starting at ₹20/500gms.

Pricing

Shiprocket uses a freemium model. Lite costs nothing, with up to 60 shipments/month, one sales channel, one user account and no API access; shipping starts at Rs 26/500gms. It is a practical starting point for a small seller willing to work within tight volume and channel limits.

Basic has custom pricing and allows up to 100 shipments/month, any two sales channels and 10 user accounts, with shipping from Rs 25/500gms. Its minimum plan period is 3 months, and it has no API access. The extra seats and second channel may suit a small team, but the longer minimum commitment and shipment ceiling are trade-offs.

Advanced also has custom pricing. It raises the cap to 300 shipments/month, includes all sales channels and API access, and supports 10 user accounts; shipping starts at Rs 23/500gms. Its minimum plan period is 1 month. Pro, also custom pricing, allows up to 1000 shipments/month with all sales channels, API access and 10 user accounts; shipping starts at Rs 20/500gms, with a 1-month minimum plan period. Advanced fits businesses that need integrations or API access at moderate volume; Pro is aimed at higher-volume shipping. Both retain a 10-account cap.

Chat, call and email support are included on all four displayed plans. The separate monthly shipment limit is 50 /mo; sellers should distinguish that figure from the plan comparison’s Lite allowance of up to 60 shipments/month when assessing capacity.

Platforms

Shiprocket is available on web, Android, iOS and API. Its security policy requires staff to protect sensitive customer information, secure passwords and accounts, and report security incidents without delay.

Who it's for

Shiprocket is a strong candidate for Indian eCommerce sellers and digital retailers managing shipments across several sales channels, especially those who value courier choice, buyer updates and returns support in one workflow. It is less compelling for a seller who needs API access on a free or Basic plan, or whose shipping needs are centered outside the stated Indian network.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 25 courier partners and delivery coverage across over 19,000 Indian pin codes provide substantial domestic reach.
• Pros: Buyer updates across email, SMS and WhatsApp, alongside tracking and a returns portal, support communication beyond dispatch.
• Pros: Lite has no plan charge, and the app is free to download; shipping is charged as shipments are made.
• Cons: Lite is limited to one channel, one account and 60 shipments/month, with no API access.
• Cons: Basic has a 3-month minimum and still excludes API access; API requires Advanced or Pro.
• Cons: Paid plan prices are custom, which makes the cost of moving beyond Lite harder to compare in advance.

Alternatives

17TRACK Business is worth considering when tracking is the priority: its free plan includes 50 shipments per month, 3,500 carrier integrations and a customizable tracking page. Choose Shiprocket instead when Indian courier selection and broader fulfillment tools matter more.

Easyship may suit sellers looking for a free plan with discounted shipping rates, intelligent courier selection and import tax and duty calculations. Shiprocket is the more directly aligned choice for its stated Indian delivery reach and channel set.

Veeqo is another option to compare for shipping workflows.

EasyPost may fit API-focused teams: its free access plan includes up to 3,000 labels per month, then charges $0.08 per label, with postage not included. Shiprocket’s API access is limited to Advanced and Pro.

Ordoro is another option to compare for order and shipping management.

Sendcloud is another option to compare for parcel shipping.

ShippingEasy is another option to compare for shipment management.

Shippo is another option to compare for shipping labels.

Verdict

Choose Shiprocket if you are an Indian eCommerce seller who wants multiple courier options, cross-channel fulfillment tools and buyer updates in one service. Its domestic reach and range of workflows are the main reasons to shortlist it. Look elsewhere if you need API access on an entry plan, want a published price for paid tiers, or primarily ship beyond its stated Indian network.
