We have been using Stamps.com and UPS Worldship for many many years, the old cut and paste the address & email method. I know you can import orders but it never seemed like it was worth the hassle and you still had to copy the tracking back to Ect.

As I'm always looking for ways to streamline the "Process", ran across ShipStation, looked very promising but there was no integration for ecomerce templates, so I thought. Dean at Ecom Webstore has an addon that integrates with ShipStation Perfectly!

Now I have four stores integrated, two Ect stores and two Amazon stores into One program!

The software utilizes all the major shipping carriers into one program. Once you print a label, it marks the order Shipped, copies over the tracking number and sends a customizable Your Order has Shipped email to the customer that includes a clickable tracking link as well as all other order information. It also will fire off another email once the order has been delivered!

On the orders main screen, it pulls the product images & the quantity, if there is more than one quantity, it changes to highlight the quantity in Red to make sure you pack the correct quantity.

Thank You Dean Hoyt @ eCom Webstore for the ShipStation Integration!

Hi,

How did you integrate stamps.com with ecommerce template?

My costumer uses stamps.com and he is tired of copy and paste.

Regards,

ShipStation is a shipping platform that uses multiple shipping carriers. They do not directly use USPS but they use stamps .com or Encidia and one other that I can't remember to pay for you shipping. You can also use your UPS and FedEx accounts to pay for the shipping if you use these carriers.

The tool we offer is simply an interface that imports your orders and updates your ECT shopping cart when you ship with any tracking and order notes.

You can export orders from ECT and import them into Dazzle, then have Dazzle send a tracking e-mail when you ship the order. NO copy/paste! I've used Dazzle for over 10 years and couldn't be happier. I'll be glad to help with how for anyone interested.

Best wishes,

Is Dazzle just for USPS or can it also be used for UPS and FedEx?

Any links that help with setup and integration with ECT would be appreciated!

Dazzle is only for USPS.

It's realy easy to copy order address to dazzle and when both screens open side by side.
Your admin on one side and dazzle on the other, open the address window in dazzle, and popup the address in the admin by clicking "details" about the address and hit ctrl>c on your keyboard and the address will automatically populate in dazzle without actually having to paste it.
Dazzle will monitor your clipboard for the copy action.

If you are shipping more than a few package in a batch, you can update all of your orders with tracking info in one step.
Export the csv with tracking info from dazzle and open that file, copy the contents and paste it in your admin by clicking the "Dazzle/Worldship" button on your orders page.

Bumping this to try to get more people interested in Shipstation! Shipstation is awesome and with the integration script from Dean Hoyt it's all automatic.

Yes, we are using the new barcode feature.
We walk over to the shipping bench, set the box on the scale - scan a barcode and watch the magic for a few seconds, click "p" on the keyboard and a thermal stick on label prints.
It takes seconds and there is absolutely no easier way to create a paid shipping label.

Is Dean still offering this script? I can’t see Ecomwebstore listed as a developer anymore and although the website is up it looks like it’s not being updated anymore.

Anyone else having issues with Ship Station failing to notify the marketplace?

Hi Paradise,

I've had it happen a couple times in the past. I think it was an issue on their end.

I had like one order in the batch that didn't update and I had to manually input the tracking number and change the status to shipped.

Other than that... I LOVE shipstation

I get that every so often as well, but since may 4th none of the orders are getting updated :( They are looking into it ....

Yes, we are dealing with this too :(

I have had several conversations with them.

Just an update on the issue with Ship station - they did fix that major issue that lasted about 36 hours where ship station was not updating the marketplace.
I also worked with them to see why a few of our orders were not updating here and there.
It turns out that if we have an apostrophe (possible few other special characters) in our admin private notes, this will throw an error when ship station tries to update our site with the tracking info and status change.

I believe I can write some additional code (strip special characters from the additional info section) in our copy of the ship station add-on from Dean, but Dean if you are reading this, it's something that needs to be fixed.

David

Is this the best place to ask for suggested feature updates? First of all - LOVE this extension. One thing that could be helpful is that when the shipping tracking is entered that it adds to whatever is there vs overwrite. This is helpful when you split packages, resend an order, etc. It would be nice to be able to keep the tracking numbers for the previous tracking numbers. Either the way ECT has it where you put a comma between each number or possibly having the script amend any existing tracking number to the private notes field or something.

Thanks again for making this!

Hi, I think your post is unrelated to this thread regarding ship station.
I think you want the suggestions forum here - https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=13

Sorry that I didn't clarify. I am talking about the SS plugin specifically.

Also, when I first starting using the plugin, it would mark orders as shipped and input the tracking number. Now it seems to be only marking as shipped as is not inputting the tracking number. Does anyone know why this could happen? Thanks!

chrismlandon, I shipped this morning and it did put the tracking number in as expected so it's likely something unique to your setup. I'd touch base with Dean Hoyt.
