Biggest opportunity: Swap “shipping”, “woocommerce” and “shipping labels” for “rates”, “live shipping rates” and “shipping rate”. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rates” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “live shipping rates” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping labels” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “shipping rate” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 87.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 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 5 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “shipping”, “woocommerce” and “shipping labels” for “rates”, “live shipping rates” and “shipping rate”. “shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rates” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “live shipping rates” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping labels” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “shipping rate” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “shipping calculator”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “shipping labels”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Massively overcharges for international shipping. Their 1st tier support team could not solve the issue after many rounds of emails, and finally gave up; they pushed it to the next level of support. Then it took far too long for the next level support to get back to us (weeks). When they did, they asked us to collect some data on test orders, etc., basically the same set of data that we had already given them weeks ago. Nevermind! Moved on to Shippo which handles the same international orders with no issues.

I was surprised to see some of the negative reviews because everything worked great for me with our WordPress site… however I’m only 3 days in. I’m a developer and have setup ShipSation in the past. This was way easier, and it’s really nice that they have a free option for small stores getting started. It helped save my client about $2.50 per shipment! Worked great with the cheep label printer and streamlined the whole fullfilment process. We are just using flat rate on the front end, so I can’t speak to setting up live rates on the front end, but my experience with ShipStation was not good for that either. UPS constantly disconnected (which was UPS not the shipping tool)

failing on the cart, ading lots of lines of text and error messages – such a mess I was wondering if this is just a scam to access my courier account details.

Seeing the live shipping rates during checkout has been instrumental for our store! Note: Although this is a review solely on the WooCommerce/WP plugin, I should add that the EasyShip web app itself can sometimes be slow, making it frustrating when needing to work on multiple orders/shipments.

Could you help me solve the problem? It is integrated with the plugin but now it has not been showing the shipping options in the checkout and I cannot receive orders.

I am a paid customer. During our Black Friday sale, live shipping rates abruptly ceased to function. I did not make any changes to my website. It is not the first time something like this has happened; I’ve had syncing issues and also addressed recognition issues causing errors nonstop. No update has been received since I contacted support. Just automated responses from them. This is super urgent. I ditched for Shippo. This topic was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by cramirezcruz.
