SoftwareWorld Editorial Review
Why SoftwareWorld Chooses Shippo
"Shipping can quickly become a headache for growing online stores, and Shippo helps take away much of that complexity. Businesses use it to compare carrier rates, print labels, and manage orders without switching between multiple tools. It works well for small to mid-sized sellers who ship regularly and want to save time on daily fulfillment tasks. That said, businesses with very high shipping volumes or complex logistics needs may eventually find the platform limiting."

Cost effective platform for small business owner
I mostly run my business on amazon and ebay. I used another shipping platform for a long time before realizing how expensive it was. After learning that Shippo offers similar features at a lower cost, I decided to switch to Shippo. Shippo has worked well for my needs so far.

Shippo makes shipping so easy
Shippo automatically sync orders from wix. All I need to do is compare rates, buy the label, print it, and ship. It is very simple to use, and even the package size transfers over from Wix automatically, which saves ma a lot of time.
