In addition, the tracking api updates frequently so my customers can see real-time information. > > **Cons**: Out of the box the integration with WooCommerce does not provide live shipping quotes. I can use a third-party plugin to do this, but then I'm paying for the plugin plus Shippo. That's my second issue: Shippo charges $20/mo. and up for their platform, unless your package count is pretty low. > > The slickest and most user-friendly shipping platform I've used, and I have tried a few; however, eventually I felt we could do better with a platform that did not charge per month. That said, Shippo may be a great choice for many people. ----- ### "Increasing costs and complications." — 3.0/5 > **Jessica** | *04 July 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Too many changes to interface over the years and it’s not as user friendly as it had previously been. > > **Cons**: The shipping rates are not as deeply discounted as they had been when I first implemented this software. ----- ### "Great Software for Integrating Shipping for a Small Business\!" — 5.0/5 > **Samantha** | *20 November 2025* | Luxury Goods & Jewelry | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Shippo as an integration with Wix, and the process of adding the extension was simple, easy, and efficient. Once integrated with my website, Shippo allowed me to seamlessly prepare shipping labels for jewelry orders placed on my website. > > **Cons**: During the set-up process I encountered a small bug in the integration, but upon reaching out to Shippo support, the issue was quickly addressed and I was able to move forward. I have not encountered any further bugs. > > As a small business, it is very important for me to save time and money whenever possible, and I think that Shippo was not just the best option for my business in terms of services provided, but also the most cost effective and easy to implement. ----- ### "Shippo Experience" — 4.0/5 > **Emily** | *25 August 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoy the how easy it if to just create a label while processing shipments.
