Has anybody compared ShipWorks head-to-head with Webgility’s eCC? I’m trying to figure out the best way to connect Magento with Endicia

If you want to save some time on the above integration try a Magento only FedEX module called:
ShipSync – A Magento FedEx API extension that has rate estimations, automatic shipment creation, label printing (including thermal), tracking codes, address validation, and bunch more. $250. I have been using ShipSync for almost a year now for my ecommerce site and I have been very happy with it.

@Sammy – This is something that I don’t believe has been done by anyone up to this point. I’d recommend contacting Shipworks @ http://www.interapptive.com/company/contact.html to see how much they would charge to make this customization. If they’re not able to make the customization, we can make the customization of the shipworks.php file. If you’re interested, just get in touch with us using our contact form.

“If a merchant wants to have all emails sent from Magento, it would require a small change to be made to the shipworks.php file.”

Where can we get additional info on how to do the above statement or link with instructions?

Great post BTW!!!

I’m about 5 days into a 30-day evaluation and so far I’m impressed. We’re bricks and clicks. 90% of our shipments weigh less that 2 lbs.

I currently use a Pitney Bowes Mailstation ($50 month rental) to print regular postage and first class packages, this is a problem in that I can’t do delivery conf without a trip to the post office.

I have to manually enter address info into USPS Click and Ship for priority mail and manually maintain the magento status for each order.

It’s all very time consuming.

With Shipworks and Magento and stamps.com and UPS online I can now do everything from the Shipworks desktop application, and apply delivery confirmation/tracking if I want. I’ll print 44c stamps from stamps.com. Magento status is updated automatically and emails are sent to the customer.

This is going to be a huge productivity win for us.

I’m going to send the mailstation back and cancel the Pitney Bowes account, and my initial service fees (stamps.com and shipworks will be less than $50 – by my calculation they could max out at $64.95/month.

Still another 25 days of evaluation, but so far so good.

HI – this is great info.
Any idea why Shipworks would not be able to download all the orders in my store? I have everything set up, but am only getting 8 order downloaded out of 60?

any ideas of where i can go to figure this out would be appreciated…

cheers,
Steff

Thanks for this guide. I have been using a version (apparently older) with my zen cart store and I’m in the process of switching to Magento. I didn’t think it was supported, and here I find out that not only is it supported, but apparently my software is quite out of date . . .

Thanks!
