FAQ

Does ShipStation provide real-time shipping quotes that can be used at checkout?

No. Store owners need a real-time shipping quote extension such as USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc. or have an alternate way to show shipping quotes (e.g., Flat rate charge).

Does ShipStation send data when not being used (e.g., Free Shipping)?

Yes, there isn’t conditional exporting. If the data is there, we export it!

Why do multiple line items in an order on the WooCommerce side get combined when they reach ShipStation?

This is most likely because unique Product SKUs have not been configured for each product and variation in the Store. To ensure that order line items show up correctly in ShipStation, we recommend assigning a unique SKU to each product as well as each variation within a product.

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!!!

It works OK, but it’s missing important and basic features like sending barcode and customs data to Shipstation. It’s no excuse that these fields are not built into WooCommerce because they could let you specify fields where this data is stored. Also, for variable products it sends the parent title, so Shipstation has little idea which variation is being sent.

WooCommerce: 5 stars. ShipStation: 1 star. My Airbnb guest left something and asked me to ship it UPS Next Day. The UPS website wanted $112. PayPal Shipping, which uses ShipStation, wanted $38. Wow that saves money! Except that the package arrived a day late. I contacted UPS for a refund but they told me to contact PayPal. PayPal told me to contact ShipStation. ShipStation’s contact buttons don’t work, they just bring you back to the “Contact Us” page. UPS 2-day was $38. It appears that ShipStation saves you money by downgrading deliveries, then hoping that the customer doesn’t notice the late delivery.

WordPress 6.0 breaks this plugin. Useless. Now we’re about to launch and lost our connection. EDIT: It turned out that CloudFlare was blocking ShipStation because of the bot fighting settings. However, this plugin really should be updated, if for nothing else than to state that it has been tested with work with 6.0. (And yes, do test it, don’t just edit the docblock and readme to say it works on 6.0.)
