ShipStation for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 34% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 50K+ in roughly 121 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   The plugin worked beautifully for a while but after their latest update it no longer synchronises properly with woocomerce. Once orders are paid and labels created, it does not communicate with woocomerce and does not mark orders as complete on the website. I have contacted support multiple times, and I always get the same generic answer, such as reset API keys, install and uninstall the plugin, which I have done it many times and yet problem still persists.Very disappointed at the support level received and looking at canceling my shipstation account all together for 4 stores, as soon as I find an alternative solution. In the end is causing me more headaches, than providing a solution.

   Prompt, courteous and highly effective support provided by Frank. The icing on the cake would have been the availability of more comprehensive documentation. However, at this juncture, reference was made to professional agencies and developers. This appears to be a matter of corporate policy rather than a limitation of the support team. Please continue with your excellent work.

   It does what it’s supposed to and syncs orders with ShipStation. I’ve used on several websites without any issues.

   Total trash company. I contacted them multiple times to try to fix the issue with my orders not syncing to ship station they say they will contact me via email and have not sent one email to me. I opened a ticket to try to get this resolved and nothing is being done for the past week. This keeps happening multiple times the past 5 months and im so sick of this.

   How good can it be a service that relays on deceiving tactics to enroll customers and get their data and info!! I decided to give ShipStation a shot because they offer a Free Plan for small business with only a few orders a month but it was only a clickbait. After subscribing, they automatically added me to a paid plan without option to downgrade. One hour wasted subscribing, setting up account, and contacting customer support only to learn they don’t offer the free plan included on their website.

   After waiting years (yes years) for a promised live rates integration with Woocommerce, we still have nothing. Forcing you to go to unreliable third-party plugins. Finally gave up on waiting and switched over to Easyship.

   Stay away! They onboard you and then once the trial period is over NO ONE will talk to you. The platform charged us but did not credit the account so we could not ship AND the funds were frozen. You have to chat and demand and call and go crazy just for them to talk to you. THEY DONT CARE. They act like they’re doing you a favor for even getting on the phone. It took us 4hrs just to speak with someone. STAY AWAY!!! This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by itielcohenop.
