Integrating a **Shippo** account with Tuplo Studio provides a unique way to manage your shipments, providing an alternative to the Manual Shipping Mode.

Additional features include shipping labels, packing slips, and shipping service pricing, all without leaving Tuplo Studio.

To **ship** using Shippo:

1. **Package** products for shipment.
2. **Weigh** the package and measure its size.
3. **Select** a shipping service, print a shipping label, and stick it on the package.
4. **Drop** the package off at a postal office or chosen shipping location.

Additionally, scales are some extra hardware you can attach to Tuplo Studio. You can use these to weigh your shipments directly in Tuplo Studio.

To **weigh** your shipment with an attached scale:

1. **Place** the package on your attached scale.
2. **Click** the Poll button to activate the scale.
3. **Click** the Capture button when the scale settles.
