Create custom reports when you need to dig a little deeper into your shipping data than the ShippingEasy default reports do. Then, save your reports for easy access in the future, export your reports to your computer, or you can even schedule reports to run automatically and have them emailed to you.

Note:

  • Custom reports are only able to report on shipments and not on orders.

  • Reports are not available on the Starter plan.
