LaserShip is a regional carrier offering last-mile delivery services across the US. Since acquiring OnTrac, LaserShip now supports domestic, coast-to-coast delivery. Contact LaserShip to learn more about their E-Commerce Delivery Solutions. LaserShip is available for shipments originating in the US.

Legacy Notice: Migration to OnTrac V3

LaserShip has been acquired by OnTrac. Existing LaserShip connections remain active, but all new integrations, reconnections, and account migrations are moving to the OnTrac V3 integration.

Key Updates:

  • New Credentials and Account Structure: Transitioning to Customer Branches (alphanumeric IDs) rather than numeric account numbers. Contact LaserShip/OnTrac to obtain your new credentials.

  • Tracking Number Updates: Tracking numbers now begin with "1LS" instead of "D" (coordination with third-party tracking providers may be required).

  • Invoice Format: Invoices will follow an updated format.

Migrating in ShipStation:

  • Contact LaserShip to request your new credentials. The new LaserShip API requires a different set of parameters than LaserShip Legacy or LaserShip.

  • Once you have your new credentials, connect your LaserShip account via the Carriers page just like connecting any other carrier.
