Pros

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

Parker W.

Teacher

“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

“It's user-friendly and up-to-date and allows our clients to manage and update their workflow (POs, orders, returns, etc.) without us having to do it for them.”

Jeni C.

Operations and Analytics Assistant

“I'm more than certain ShipHero devs can pull that data and make it dance, as it display qualitative and quantitative performance information for operators to utilize for action.”

Arsen J.

CEO

“I like the real-time inventory tracking and how it helps keep fulfillment organized and efficient.”

Alissa P.

Owner

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.”

Anthony R.

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

Parker W.

Teacher

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

Jonathan S.

Founder

Cons

“Label printing is also frustrating.”

Dennis M.
