Aven WFH Life review for ASP‑Automate Shipping Profiles
Oct. 30, 2021
This app really helped me overcome a big issue I had with Printful creating new shipping profiles and overriding my existing shipping profiles when I added a product. Printful's app also updates their shipping profiles when it syncs with Shopify. I reached out to Printful's tech support and as of now there is no way to disable this function. This app resolved that issue by allowing me to update my existing products to their correct profiles, and it also has an option in "Settings" to assign a default shipping profile when products are added. This means that when I add a Printful product, it won't matter that it creates a shipping profile because the product will automatically be added to the default profile that I assign. In the future, I can also see this app being useful for a lot of custom configurations, e.g. offering express shipping only if a product has a particular tag or meets other criteria. I found their tiered plans reasonable for the amount of products they cover and because it's a time-saver, although I would have liked to see a trial period, even for just a week, to confirm the solution worked before I committed to a plan. It was still worth trying so that wasn't a show-stopper. I also liked that it's by "number of products" not "number of variations" like other apps so 2500 is 2500, not a small fraction of it it you have 10 variations of each product. Overall, I'm very happy with this app.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to share your experiences with Automate Shipping Profiles, and to help other merchants make an informed decision. It's amazing to hear how ASP has helped to resolve the issue you were having with your profiles. Thanks as well for your feedback on trial periods. ASP is free to install, and you can take as much time as you need to get your settings configured before activating a billing plan and running the bulk sort. Unfortunately, at this time it's not feasible to have a free trial period. In order to run the bulk sort, even in a testing capacity, the app needs to be fully functional, and there is a cost for the server infrastructure required to bulk sort and constantly listen for product updates and additions. If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We're here to help and answer any questions you might have.
