Biggest opportunity: Swap “ups plugin”, “ups woocommerce” and “ups shipping method” for “label printing”, “shipping insurance” and “woocommerce hpos”. “ups plugin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “label printing” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ups woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “shipping insurance” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “ups shipping method” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “woocommerce hpos” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

0.4%

of downloads still active

At least 100 of 23K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,152 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Reviewers keep coming back to the support team, which they say responds fast and actually solves things, though one user hit a paid-account requirement after an update that left the plugin unusable.

    Used this plugin on a client site for a while. It seemed to work pretty well (occasional plugin conflicts but mostly smooth sailing) before they did an update that required you to get a trial and account with hitshipo. Once that happened, the plugin just randomly stopped working. I assumed because of new account thing. Wouldn’t let me troubleshoot mode or save settings after that update unless I gave an email to do a free trial. No more “save” button. Tried to find out if it was still possible to use the “free” features of the plugin without signing up for the trial on the forum. One support person told me that the features we wanted were free, but features like shipping labels weren’t, so if we wanted those we’d need to pay. Didn’t need those. They sent me to an email to continue discussing. Explained myself again to that new support person, and they told me we actually couldn’t use it at all without a subscription. So kind of confusing mixed feedback for me. Okay, well fast forward, client decided to buy a subscription on hitshipo website. Gave me the integration key. When I went into the plugin to find a place to put the pro version integration key, there was none. Just that button for a free trial. Tried to add the client’s email that they signed up with. Error- already in system. Used my email to start a trial hoping a spot to activate a paid plan might show up afterwards. Nothing. Couldn’t change what account it was connected to anywhere within the actual plugin or in the hitshipo app settings. So if you’re going to sign up with them, I’d say make sure to do it with your email directly through the plugin trial button rather than on their site, or it seems like it will be a pain to switch it to a different account. We had all kinds of problems with it conflicting with things on the site once activated with the subscription. When it was active, it broke a ton of stuff in our theme (Aoki) making the site mostly unusable, and it made it so payments through the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin wouldn’t complete. So be sure to test a full purchase if you have that specific paypal plugin–not entirely sure it’s compatible with it. Probably fine for pretty simple sites, but we had a lot of issues.

    Note: Still testing. We are still in testing phase but the plugin shows lots of potential and could be a great time saver for those who ship a lot in a daily basis. The setup can be a little bit confusing at first but the support team goes the extra mile to get things sorted out for you fairly quick.

    Just great support! I reached many plugins and this was the only one that was working for me. But I still had a problem. I couldn’t use negotiable rates through API because UPS doesn’t provide this possibility for my country. But plugin support kindly gave me a code. And now I can use my discount. Moreover, they added a possibility to add extra costs and payment processing fees for shipping rates. I’m very thankful to the team. The best support ever! I’d leave six stars.
