What Merchants Think

Overall, merchants have mixed feelings about ShipStation. It receives praise for its functionality in streamlining shipping processes across multiple platforms, but it is also criticized for technical issues and poor customer service. Many users appreciate its user-friendly interface, efficient order management, and the time it saves them in the shipping process, while others report frequent bugs, billing issues, and lose faith in its support system.

Key Strengths

  • Seamless integration with multiple sales platforms (e.g., Shopify, Etsy)
  • User-friendly interface that enables efficient order management
  • Automation features that save time and streamline the shipping workflow
  • Ability to manage multiple sales channels on one platform
  • Helpful customer service, usually via specific representatives who go above and beyond

Common Concerns

  • Poor customer service and support response times
  • Buggy and sometimes unreliable app performance
  • Billing issues, including overcharging and unauthorized charges
  • Troubles with specific integrations, such as with Shopify
  • Concerns about recent decreases in app reliability compared to past performance

Final Thoughts

ShipStation is highly valued for its ability to integrate multiple sales platforms and automate shipping processes, saving time and effort for businesses. However, frequent technical issues and criticism of customer support have diminished its reputation among some users. For those who come to rely on its functionalities, it is a powerful tool, though prospective users should be cautious and aware of its limitations.

ShipStation helps us manage multiple sales channels on one shipping platform. The integrations are smooth, and when we needed help, the account setup assistance was amazing! We have been able to streamline so many SOPs and our quick shipping department is now scary fast and accurate. A+

Great app for shipping and keeping track of orders and shipments, especially if you own stores in different platforms

As a small business startup, navigating shipping platforms can be overwhelming, but Joey from ShipStation made it a breeze! He took the time to explain everything in detail and even sent me helpful videos. His exceptional support went above and beyond my expectations. Joey truly restored my faith that there are still good people out there providing amazing customer service. I highly recommend Joey and the ShipStation app for anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly solution!

The integration is straight-forward but lacks the ability to configure it to specific needs. For example, we operate a warehouse that both ships and provides for local pickup. The integration will not import anything without a shipping address, so we can't use it for operations (only shipping). Additionally, the frequency of sync is variable. It is fast in the morning, but slow in the afternoon (busy time). You can manually sync, but again that isn't a good operational solution.

This is the 3rd shipping platform I've used with Shopify. ShipStation is by far the best. All of the big shipping platforms contract for very similar rates, so for me its not about saving money. ShipStations support is where they shine. I've never had an outage for more than an hour or so and have never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes to talk to support, even on weekends or off hours.

WORST customer service. Shipstation worked great till they switched to Parcel Guard. They ended up costing us thousands of dollars in damages for one shipment. We have double automatic insurance rules on our account, but what they don't advertise is that if you ship more than one package in a shipment, they automatically turn off your insurance. Been back and forth with customer service for months over the issue. Cancelled our account because of how much money we lost. Said they were going to give us a refund, went silent for weeks, stopped responding to our emails then a new support person popped back in after we cancelled and said sorry to see you go and no refund.

Terrible integration with Shopify. - If an order is edited (products change, address updated, notes added etc) that edit in Shopify does not flow over to Shipstation. So as a small business owner I need to make the edits twice. - I have two different warehouses and Shopifys split shipping is not supported as an integration with Shipstation. - I have an app on Shopify that makes beautiful, branded packing slips and invoices. But these do not travel over to Shipstation so my packages have this totally mediocre packing slip thats not on-brand for my upscale company. - I sell wholesale on Faire and while Faire and Shopify integrate beautifully when the orders flow through to Shipstation they are all screwed up with testers not registering properly and discounts showing up in a very confusing way. So every time I get a wholesale order through Faire I need to manually email them the packing slip so they can pick and fill correctly. I love my warehouse but wish they did not need to use Shipstation. I feel Shipstation does not care one bit about the business using Shopify, only about the warehouses.

Shipstation used to be amazing. It's still decent but lately they have had constant bugs, lag times, down times, stuff doesn't sync right. It's still worth the money but barely.

Absolutely love ShipStation! It has streamlined my shipping process and saved me so much time. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to manage orders, and the integration with various platforms is seamless. Customer support is also top-notch—always quick to help. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to simplify their shipping! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Integrating ShipStation with our Shopify store has been a game-changer! The setup was incredibly easy, and it has simplified our day-to-day shipping process significantly. We now save time on managing orders, and the automation features have streamlined our workflow. Highly recommend it for any eCommerce business looking to make shipping effortless!

This app will use to be great. It now crashes during each print attempt. You have to login and reset multiple times per day. Submitting tickets to directly to ship station results in fast responses but no results. This is no benefits to either party. Learn how to print labels Stationstation and stop crashing. Stop releasing new UI's and focus on basics that improve time. As you can see I have been using this app for many years and they can and should be doing better..

Horrible app, took our money for using our own courier without notifying us. VERY DODGY! Aussie's steer clear of this one!

Awesome App with great support. You can actually call them and they speak English. The rates are generally the same or better than Shopify for shipping.

There are a few connectivity issues that should be fixed but other than that we are super happy we switched from Shippo to Ship Station. Love the added functionality and most of the scale integration. Has improved our shipping efficiency tremendously!

I will update my review if the support team has a resolution for printing more than 20 labels at a time. If we print more it will skip or miss orders. we called and they sent documents for us to read regarding our printer. Do we have a printer issue or shipstation issue? contact [email protected]

Buyer beware! I am on a trial acct still and its been a terrible experience-They charged me for my last 2 labels over & over again by saying I needed more & more funds and kept charging my credit card-but even though they charged me for 1 label 3 times in funds-I never received the label-I am unable to print any labels-there was not actual label or tracking created and yet they charged me 3 times for this label and then the same thing happened with another label rt after that-they currently owe me a refund of $221.08 You cannot get a human on the phone & I opened a "case" 2 days ago and no reply or refund so I will have to pursue thru credit card company. It's really bad-they charge you all sorts of charges for labels you never get & then try to get the refunds when it was their fault. Not ok -Stay far far away.

This app has been billing me for years and I can't get them to stop. I've even tried cancelling my credit card but because it's linked through Shopify they are able to bill the new card number somehow. Do not download this app or do their free trial. You'll be committed for life.

I've been very happy with ShipStation so far. For the most part, it just works. And for the times that it didn't, some settings adjustments fixed my issues. I find their offering expensive for my size business (really tiny), but it's a situation of you-get-what-you-pay-for. Customer service has been top notch, even though I'm sure I'm one of their smallest accounts.
