Pros

“ShipStation offers a powerful set of tools that make managing orders, printing labels, and handling multi‑channel shipping far more efficient.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Parker W.

“When it worked, ShipStation was useful for managing orders, buying labels, printing packing slips, and handling day-to-day shipping from one place.”

Jonathan S.

Founder

“We have a warehouse, we have ecommerce sites, we have a remote warehouse. Because of the ability to integrate all aspects of our business for fulfilment we need ship station. How did we do it before?)”

Pros

“the tool itself is complex with alot of 'rabbit holes' that you can get lost in, which leads to a learning curve and a time commitment I wasn't expecting but the feature sets are robust.”
TS

Tyler S.

Execution Guy

“As a suggestion for improvement, it would be helpful to include failure logs in the history tab whenever webhook calls fail.”
SC

Santhosh C.

Lead Engineer

“Before automatically importing previously stored tracking numbers, AfterShip could prompt users for confirmation.”
AG

Aparna G.

Product Manager

Cons

“The main drawback has been the responsiveness of support. When everything is running smoothly, ShipStation is a huge time‑saver, but during moments when you need quick assistance—especially on tight project deadlines—waiting for support can be frustrating.”
AR

Anthony R.

Web Developer

“Despite its strengths, ShipStation can feel complicated when you’re first learning the system, especially if you manage multiple stores or carriers.”

“Packing slips, account funding, label purchases, and support interactions all became pain points.”

Jonathan S.

Founder

Cons

“They offer a lot of apps that we do not use in one dashboard, which hurts the overall UI experience.”
GA

Gurwin A.

President

“The after ship product offerings could be more clear, the delineation between tracking, shipping, aftership one, and team is confusing”
SE

Samuel E.

CIO

“There are also double menus in some sections, so I almost clicked the wrong module a few times.”
