Apps and hardware
Desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux, iOS and Android apps, a Shopify admin app, and support for thermal and Bluetooth label printers, USB scales and barcode scanners.
Desktop app
Run ShipGenius as a desktop app on macOS, Windows or Linux. It prints straight to your local printers and reads USB scales without any extra software. The app updates itself, and changes to ShipGenius show up the next time you open it.
How ShipGenius differs
The desktop app prints directly to the printers on your computer and reads USB scales. A packing station doesn't need the Device Server or a print dialog for each label. This is something we always wished we had with other software.
Thermal label printing
Print labels as ZPL to a thermal printer, or as PDF or PNG. Zebra and other ZPL printers work through the ZPL format. Set the label format for each printer in Settings, Packout & printing.
Separate label and packing slip printers
Set one default printer for 4x6 labels and another for 8.5x11 packing slips. Packing slips always print as PDF.

Read live weight from a USB scale while you rate an order. HID and serial scales, such as Dymo, Fairbanks, Ohaus and A&D, are detected automatically. Choose pounds, ounces, kilograms or grams.
Bluetooth label printers
Print labels from the ShipGenius mobile app to a Bluetooth label printer. It includes a driver for Munbyn RW40xB printers and a generic Bluetooth fallback. Scan for nearby printers and check print diagnostics from the printing settings.

Before your phone asks for camera, Bluetooth, location or contacts access, ShipGenius explains what it's for. If you said no, an Open Settings button takes you to where you can turn it back on.

Plug in a hardware barcode scanner and scan into the packout scan field. Scanners that type like a keyboard work without any setup in ShipGenius.
