Shaolo Gear review for OrderCup

March 25, 2013

I've been using OrderCup for some time and it'a a great system. It has it's ups and downs, but as a whole I would definitely recommend it to anyone. When reading the comments below there is a lot of misinformation, especially regarding the mac platform. Here is what you should know: OC works just fine with a mac, but it requires extra setup. You'll need to follow the instructions in the support section for setting up CUPS printing if you have a Thermal printer. You WILL need the latest version of Java from Oracle. The only DPI supported is 203. So don't buy a fancy thermal printer unless it uses 203dpi resolution. Your shipping labels will print but they will be small, and packing lists will not work at all. OC has good rates and great customer service. There are times they can be a bit slow to respond, but I think that has more to do with them taking their time to investigate the issue. The interface DOES allow you to ship random items. You just create a new order, fill out the customer details and ship. As a whole, I give OC a thumbs up. It continues to improve and will only get better with time.
