Advise for setting up an online store and shipping

mils

Hi
We are a small size business and currently operate from units. Looking at setting up an online shop. We use a programme called Square for a till system and can create a shop through this. 
Type of products we are selling is small clothing packages (childrens sizes) 
Do i need to integrate a fulfilment programme to help with the postage/deliveries? any recommendations?
To print off packaging labels what equipment would anyone advise. Googling on amazon there are many label printers.
Any advise would be gratefully appreciated 

Thanks

speaking from experience finding software that can cope with pricing of infinitely variable total weights of your packages is vital so the customer pays the correct total at checkout.

Is there any you would recommend for this ?

I can't help with the packing as we have a flat fee, but online is a tiny part of our business. 

But re the labels we use our normal printer and buy B5 sticky labels (widely available)  just change the settings when printing. 

We have now upgraded to a 2 tray printer (approx £300) but only because the last printer died of old age.

Also check the ink costs, we chose an 'ink tank' option as they are very cheap to run
