Sudden price increase for use of API
Sudden price increase for use of API - we have a connection between our MRP system and ShipStation that simply pushes the shipment information to ShipStation, and passes back the shipping number. Suddenly ShipStation have decided to increase the price by 300%. Looks like we are not alone with this issue. UPDATE - 20MAY25 - ShipStation responded to our review here and have added us to the API exception list - very much appreciated, although took several emails and 2 weeks of manually entering orders for it it be resolved. Review moved to 4 Stars from 1 and we hope to receive better customer support going forward.
