Pure Integrative Pharmacy review for ShipStation

Feb. 15, 2022

Shipstation is a fantastic platform for managing shipments! I've been using it for over a year and a half, and it continues to surpass my expectations. Pros: - The interface is nicely laid out to give access to all of the tools we need without being overwhelming, with good navigation and tab organization - You can set up customized filter and column views, and save them as tabs for easy repeat reference - The search function with advanced search is very accurate and reliable, with options to fine tune the results extensively - Product info can be updated with selective imports so you're not overwriting any existing data - There are multiple stackable options for product and order organization to give very granular control over your systems - The automation rules are extensive, with virtually every product and order variable usable as an automation trigger - Built-in batch fulfillment with the ability to generate batches through both automation and manual filtering: if you've set the item weights/boxes/customs info/batches/filtering/etc up correctly, you can process orders near-instantly - Networked printer integration: if you set up the connection with Shipstation Connect (free desktop application) on one computer, you can print from Shipstation on any device - Support is quick to respond and very knowledgeable - The documentation is extensive, easy to understand, and simple to navigate through - The pricing is also very affordable for the amount of time we save - It has integrations for all the platforms we use and can manage multiple stores and couriers The only notable con is that Shipstation currently lacks built-in tools for tracking packing materials: you can create custom box sizes and add them to orders seamlessly with both automatic and manual options, but you can't add a weight to a box listing and have the order weight adjust automatically when you change the box, or remove a box from inventory when you process a shipment. Small thing, but annoying: we end up adding the box weight to the product weights so we can batch fulfil our 1-2 item orders, but it messes all the calculations up for multi-item orders. Overall highly recommend, Shipstation is an excellent platform: I've recommended it to several small business owners in passing, and I'd recommend it in general to anyone who has to track orders.
