Frequently asked questions
Questions about the Windows software, free tools and shipping documents.
What is Shipping Documents Pro?
It is Windows desktop software built around a reusable shipment record. Enter parties, products and shipment details once, then use that information to prepare multiple documents.
How much does it cost?
Shipping Documents Pro is listed at $199 one time with no monthly software subscription.
Are the browser tools free?
Yes. The tools in the Free Tools section can be used without purchasing the desktop software.
Do the free tools upload my form data to an account?
No ShippingPaperwork.com account is used for the generators. The tools run in the browser and use session storage to help preserve your entries during the current browser session.
Does the desktop software transmit documents to carriers or agencies?
No. It prepares documents and worksheets for printing or PDF output. Carrier, forwarder, customs and government transmission or filing processes remain separate.
Can I add more rows to a document?
The software is designed around dynamic HTML/CSS document layouts rather than fixed form images, allowing line-item sections to expand as needed.
Can I save customers and products?
Yes. Reusable parties, products and shipment history are key differences between the desktop software and the free one-off browser generators.
Can I use the generated paperwork for every shipment?
Not automatically. Requirements vary by carrier, destination, commodity, transaction and government program. Confirm current requirements before relying on a document.
