About Shippo
Shippo's public changelog has been quiet since early 2023, with FedEx native discounts as its last spark.
Shippo is a multi-carrier shipping platform for e-commerce merchants. The last public changelog activity in the input is from late 2022 through February 2023, ending with the FedEx Platform Account Launch — Shippo billing itself as the first multi-carrier shipping solution in the U.S. to offer discounted FedEx services natively. The preceding cluster of releases focused on Q4-readiness for the 2022 holiday season: a redesigned Orders page, automatic shipment insurance, automation rules for sender addresses, collated label printing, and a Spend Analytics revamp.
