Shipstation

The new J2Store integration with Shipstation helps you to integrate your J2Store site with one of the best shipping solution, Shipstation. Now import your orders and manage shipping on the go with the help of this integration. With Shipstation, you need not worry about shipping your orders using different carriers, cause you can manage everything at a one stop place using this integration.

Shipstation is a multi-channel, multi-carrier shipping solution that simplifies the shipping process for online merchants. Shipstation can be integrated seamlessly with any shipping carrier and channel and your orders can be easily tracked and managed with just few clicks, regardless of the location.
