What It Is

Shipyu is a SaaS workspace built for resellers and e-commerce operators. Its goal is to bring purchasing, sales, inventory, profit tracking, and shipment tracking into one unified dashboard. It can connect to your mailbox to automatically parse retailer order confirmation emails, sync eBay store sales, and provide real-time tracking plus exception alerts across 100+ carriers after items are shipped to customers.

Core Capabilities

Its core modules cover purchase orders, inventory, sales profit, outbound tracking, alerts, and analytics. Orders can be imported via Gmail OAuth or any IMAP mailbox, and it currently recognizes multiple retailers including Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Costco, Nike, and The Home Depot. Inventory is calculated automatically as “purchased minus sold,” while tracking the cost of each item. On the sales side, it currently focuses on eBay, recording revenue, fees, and profit. The Tracking plans provide scan updates, delay/exception alerts, out-for-delivery notifications, and delivery confirmations for 100+ carriers including UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL.

Pricing and Developer Features

Essential costs $10/month and is suitable for managing orders, inventory, sales, and profit, but it does not include real-time carrier tracking. Tracking plans range from Starter at $14/month for 500 shipments to Enterprise at $159/month for 10,000 shipments. Annual billing saves 15%, extra tracking costs $0.02 per tracking number, and the company discloses a $0.18 markup on label costs. A 7-day free trial is available with no credit card required. On the API side, access is available on any plan after approval, with support for REST API, test/production keys, HMAC webhooks, retries and DLQ, usage monitoring, and examples in multiple languages.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The main strengths are its clear positioning, especially for sellers with frequent purchasing, eBay fulfillment, and profit accounting needs. Automatic email imports and inventory calculations can replace a lot of spreadsheet work. Tracking plus Discord, email, and in-app alerts are useful for proactively handling logistics exceptions. The limitations are that the sales channel support is currently centered mainly on eBay, with more storefronts still planned; Essential does not include real-time tracking; and there is limited information about team roles, permissions, compliance certifications, and payment methods.

Access from China and Alternatives

The available information does not state whether Shipyu is accessible from mainland China, what payment methods are supported beyond pricing currency, or whether localization is available, so access from China is unknown. For cross-border logistics tracking and shipping APIs, comparable products include AfterShip, Shippo, ShipStation, and Easyship. If the focus is domestic China cross-border ERP, marketplace listing, purchasing, and warehousing, alternatives such as 店小秘, 马帮ERP, and 领星ERP may be worth evaluating.
