  • Excellent Plugin and Support

    The plugin works great and was very easy to setup and configure. The developer also was quick to respond and push out an update that added more even functionality to make the app even better. I wish I had started using it sooner.

  • Great plugin, Excellent/competent support!

    Plugin works well, easy to set up and configure. We ran into a fringe issue with currency and their support was competent, and took actions to resolve the 3rd party issues we were facing. Thanks for your assistance Alex, Wishing you guys success in this and future endeavors.

    Woocommerce refuses to offer this feature in their plugin because they want you to buy a shipping plugin for every carrier, lol. I was using EasyPost to get around it, but they just started charging for their API, and we're already paying ShipStation a lot. This was the easiest shipping plugin I have ever set up and saved us from having to buy 3 Woocommerce carrier plugins and messing around with setting those all up with our accounts. I had it working well within a few minutes and appreciate the percentage adjustments per carrier. Thank you!

  • Useful Plugin with Excellent Support

    Thank you for making this very handy plugin and for fixing my issue so quickly! I highly recommend this plugin to those using ShipStation with Woocommerce! Because of this plugin I am now able to provide international customers in Canada shipping options during a postal strike! I plan to continue to offer these shipping options from here on out and also offer them to other international customers. So thanks again @iqcalex, great work!

  • Stop Arguing with Other Live Shipping Rate Plugins

    I recently found this plugin. It has zero reviews (until now), and only two support threads where the developer has been prompt to respond and provide solutions. After testing it for a few weeks on one live site, I have now installed it on a second site. Although I believe that ShipStation, considering what they charge API users, should include a plugin for WooCommerce, live shipping rate solutions are limited. Similar to one of the users who posted a support ticket, I was struggling to find a way to escape the disaster plugins from 1TeamSoftware. They had been the only third-party developer who offered ShipStation solutions with the features my sites required. I have been arguing with 1Team developers for many months over numerous issues, and they don't care. They take the subscription funds and blame issues on anything except their own products, then demand paid support. Although this is a review of IQComputing's plugin, I have to advise those using or considering the 1TeamSoftware solutions. ICQ's plugin is cleaner, without any bloat on the admin UI pages. It connects to ShipStation API v2 by default. ICQ's plugin is functional and has not exhibited any compatibility issues with other plugins. The Admin UI page loads instantly (with no bloat). All the problems I experienced with the 1Team plugins have vanished. Here are some examples: Fast and easy setup. Follow the steps. SAVE the page after entering and verifying the ShipStation v2 API key Processing times at checkout is now faster for our customers Admin UI loading times are instantaneous. Integrates with existing Woo settings instead of creating multiple additional settings pages. No Bloat. No links to a half dozen other products taking up 33% or more of each settings page Easier to configure Ability to add a percentage to shipping rates (see feature request below) There is room for future improvements, but for now, I'm happy to have a Live Shipping Rate plugin for ShipStation that works! Here are a few sugge
