By: Aaron Rubin, Founder & CEO of ShipHeroAt ShipHero, our teams are constantly looking for ways to make our clients’ lives easier. Often this results in us tweaking our software or streamlining some internal processes. But even more frequently, it means finding and partnering with other organizations with the same goal. One of our newest integration partners is Pipe17. And we’re thrilled with the level of connectivity and customization that Pipe17 can pass along to ShipHero Software clients.
One of our primary reasons for partnering with Pipe17 is that their entire business was designed to help and grow eCommerce businesses. Pipe17 started from the foundation that connecting all the programs you need to run a successful, digital-first business shouldn’t be a chore. This falls in line with ShipHero’s overriding goal to make it easy to ship eCommerce. We want our clients to see the value in having streamlined processes, custom workflows and a partner that understands what they need. Pipe17 also brings crucial connections to our clients that ShipHero didn’t have before now. We’re excited to give our clients the advantage of connecting platforms such as QuickBooks or NetSuite with ShipHero via Pipe17. The more of your systems that work with and “talk” to each other, the more streamlined your operation will be.
Another of Pipe17’s strengths is their ability to help eCommerce businesses get the most out of omnichannel selling. This notion of selling across channels while maintaining the same level of customer satisfaction and also meeting the new fulfillment demands of in-store pickup and curbside delivery are only going to expand in 2022.Pipe17 works with WMS platforms like ShipHero to help clients define specific rules for shipments, certain products or particular marketplaces. It’s easier than ever to designate these different orders for a variety of fulfillment options - including dropshipping, buy online, pick-up in store or warehouse fulfillment. Pipe17 leverages a client’s network of warehouses, current SKU availability and location to make the smartest fulfillment plan possible. For details on how Pipe17 supports ShipHero Fulfillment clients, click here.ShipHero is aware of the importance of omnichannel selling, especially as vaccination rates rise and bring customers back to storefronts. This led to more customers doing multi-platform buying - often starting a purchase on mobile and finishing it online to then go pick it up in store. Any tools that can make this omnichannel process easier to navigate is a huge benefit to our eCommerce clients. And it’s just another reason why our partnership with Pipe17 is so important. For more details on how Pipe17 supports ShipHero SaaS clients, click here.
We learned early at ShipHero that having a full, 360-degree view of your warehouse and shipping operations gives clients the benefit to make smarter decisions, improve processes and encourage innovation. So, imagine the possibilities with even more data at the fingertips of clients? By adding in Pipe17 integrations with finance and ERPs, there are even more ways for clients to parse the data and view the overall picture of their warehouse’s performance and find more ways to improve. And because Pipe17 is all about no fuss, no muss integrations, setting up these connections is easier than ever.
All of this data helps clients to scale their businesses at a rate they’re comfortable with and gives them the insight to know it’ll be successful. Growing your business is the most important thing, and both Pipe17 and ShipHero can help you do it.

TikTok Shop is discontinuing "seller shipping" on February 25, 2026, a move that will halt fulfillment for any 3PL using non-integrated legacy technology. ShipHero's WMS is fully integrated and approved to support TikTok Shop’s new logistics requirements, allowing you to generate compliant labels and avoid a total operational lockout. By migrating to ShipHero before the deadline, 3PLs can eliminate onboarding fees and ensure their clients’ businesses remain active and profitable.
Starting February 25, 2026, TikTok Shop is officially discontinuing "seller shipping" (also known as "bring your own label") for all U.S. local sellers.
This means your clients can no longer use their own carrier accounts for TikTok orders.
As their 3PL, you will be unable to generate labels unless your WMS is directly integrated with TikTok’s new ecosystem. To keep your clients' businesses running, you must transition them to TikTok Shop Logistics Services through a verified partner.
ShipHero can keep your 3PL orders flowing from February 25 onwards.
If you are running your warehouse on legacy systems, you are at risk of a complete TikTok Shop lockout. Your fulfillment—and your revenue—will simply stop that day.
TikTok's latest policy creates a massive bottleneck for 3PLs using legacy technology.
To help 3PLs transition quickly and stay compliant, we are waiving all onboarding fees for new customers who join ShipHero before February 25.
There are only 6 approved ERP/WMS providers globally that meet TikTok’s new integration standards. ShipHero WMS is on that list. Most legacy WMS providers are not currently approved. To avoid a total operational blackout for your clients, you must move to a verified partner like ShipHero.
No. Starting February 25, TikTok will discontinue seller shipping. All shipping must go through TikTok Shop Logistics Services.
No. You can still manage fulfillment from your own 3PL warehouse using ShipHero’s direct integration, which pulls the required TikTok labels and logic directly into your existing workflow.
You will lose the ability to generate shipping labels for any TikTok Shop order. This will result in immediate fulfillment backlogs, client dissatisfaction, and potential loss of contracts.
Yes. ShipHero is the only U.S. based WMS currently supporting these requirements, allowing 3PLs to continue shipping without interruption.

TikTok Shop is introducing mandatory logistics changes that will stop fulfillment for unprepared sellers on February 25, 2026.
ShipHero's WMS is fully integrated and approved to support TikTok Shop’s new logistics requirements, ensuring your orders keep moving without interruption. By switching to ShipHero before the deadline, brands can maintain compliance and eliminate onboarding fees during this transition. Here’s everything brands need to know to continue fulfilling orders.
Starting February 25, 2026, TikTok Shop will discontinue "seller shipping" for all U.S. local sellers. This means you can no longer use your own carrier accounts to generate labels for TikTok orders. To stay compliant and keep selling, brands must transition to TikTok Shop Logistics Services.
Relying on legacy systems like Extensiv, Deposco, or Logiwa puts your business at risk of account suspension and shipping delays that kill customer loyalty.
If your current WMS or 3PL is not integrated with TikTok Shop Logistics Services, you will face a total fulfillment blackout on that date. Failure to adapt to these changes risks shipping delays that kill customer loyalty and can lead to account suspension on the platform.
For brands onboarding on or after February 9, 2026, these restrictions are already in effect.
ShipHero has done the due diligence and has built a direct integration to ensure that merchants can fulfill TikTok Shop orders themselves while remaining fully compliant with TikTok’s new label requirements.
To help brands and 3PLs transition quickly and stay compliant, we are waiving all onboarding fees for new customers who join ShipHero before February 25.
Currently, there are only 6 approved ERP/WMS providers globally that meet TikTok’s new integration standards. ShipHero WMS is on that list. If you are using legacy providers like Extensiv, Deposco, or Logiwa, they are not currently approved to support these specific TikTok Shop requirements. To avoid a total operational blackout, you must move to a verified partner like ShipHero before the deadline.
No. Starting February 25, TikTok will discontinue seller shipping. You must use TikTok Shop Logistics Services.
You can use Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT) to store and ship items through their network, switch to one of the six approved ERP/WMS systems, or use ShipHero's direct integration.
You must use TikTok Shop Logistics Services, but with ShipHero, you can still manage the fulfillment from your own warehouse using TikTok’s required labels and logic.
This connection type will not support the new label requirements. You must switch to a direct TikTok Shop connection within ShipHero to avoid fulfillment interruptions.
Yes. ShipHero is currently the only U.S. based WMS that supports these requirements, allowing our customers to continue shipping without interruption.
Imagine running a warehouse where orders are picked quickly, inventory is accurate, and all operations run smoothly without any errors or delays. Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, this can now become a reality with ease.
AI is transforming warehouse management by enhancing efficiency, intelligence, and the ability to meet the rapid demands of today’s eCommerce-driven market.

These innovations are optimizing processes across various areas, from inventory management to order fulfillment. Below are the key benefits of AI in warehouse management.
A combination of AI technologies is shaping smarter warehouse systems to help revolutionize warehouse management.
ShipHero has taken AI integration to the next level with its AI Picking feature, designed to significantly improve warehouse efficiency. This feature automates the picking process, reducing the reliance on manual labor and enhancing productivity in ways that were once thought impossible.
Let’s dive deeper into how ShipHero’s AI Picking works and the advantages it offers.
AI Picking optimizes warehouse operations in two key ways:
The AI Picking feature delivers a wide range of benefits:
The transformative power of AI extends far beyond just picking. AI is also revolutionizing other aspects of warehouse management, driving improvements in operational efficiency, inventory management, and safety.
AI automates tasks, reducing errors and increasing speed. Automated sorting and real-time inventory tracking ensure accuracy, while real-time monitoring helps managers adapt and ensure timely deliveries.
AI plays a vital role in maintaining accurate inventory levels. By leveraging predictive analytics, AI can forecast demand and optimize stock levels, helping warehouses avoid both stockouts and overstock situations. This leads to better inventory management and fewer disruptions in supply chains.
AI-driven systems can monitor warehouse conditions to ensure safety and compliance with industry regulations. These systems can analyze warehouse data and predict potential hazards before they occur, proactively reducing risks and ensuring a safer working environment.
AI technologies are playing a transformative role in the supply chain and logistics sectors by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing decision-making.
These intelligent systems effortlessly manage supply chain processes by using data to optimize operations, predict trends, and automate routine tasks. This ultimately reshapes everything, from how goods are moved to stored and delivered.
The future of warehouse management looks promising with greater automation and efficiency, but future warehouse digitization brings challenges, such as high upfront costs and the need for skilled personnel.
AI-powered drones, autonomous robots, and IoT integration are smart warehouse technologies that are revolutionizing warehouse operations. Drones will deliver goods quickly, while robots automate sorting and transportation, thereby reducing the need for manual labor.
IoT and AI integration will enable real-time monitoring and optimization of operations. Smart technology in warehouses is leading to fully automated systems that are faster, scalable, and need minimal human input.
While AI offers immense benefits, businesses must also consider certain challenges. High initial investments in AI technology, data security concerns, and the need for skilled personnel are just a few of the hurdles that must be addressed.
However, with a strategic approach, companies can eliminate the challenges and embrace AI’s full potential to boost accuracy in picking and improve overall warehouse operations.
AI minimizes error by automating tasks like inventory tracking, order picking, and sorting, ensuring greater accuracy and efficiency.
Yes, AI-driven predictive analytics can predict demand, track inventory levels, and improve supply chain efficiency by forecasting needs with greater accuracy to help businesses stay ahead of trends and market fluctuations.
AI solutions are becoming more cost-effective thanks to cloud-based services and subscription pricing models. These options make AI technology more accessible to small businesses, allowing them to take advantage of its benefits without large upfront costs.
