# ShipStation Create Shipment Label
> Create a shipping label in ShipStation at the end of an Arc flow.
export const siteNameShort = "Arc";
The Create Shipment Label action creates a shipping label in ShipStation. This action belongs at the end of a flow.
When creating a shipment label:
* Set the package specifications, "ship to" values, and customs information [with an XML Map connector](#xml-map-connector-package-ship-to-customs).
* Enter the "ship from" and test label values in the [connector configuration pane](#connector-configuration-ship-from).
## XML Map Connector: Package, Ship To, Customs
You must connect an [XML Map](../xml-map/xml-map) connector to the ShipStation connector to map the package specifications, "ship to" values, and customs information.
In the example below, the shipment information appears in the **Source** column, and the ShipStation shipping label parameters appear in the **Destination** column.

The table below lists the values that you can map for shipment labels using the XML Map connector interface.
