User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the convenience of handling sales tax automatically and creating shipping labels directly from the WooCommerce dashboard, saving time and simplifying processes. The plugin's ease of integration with other WooCommerce extensions like USPS Simple Shipping for WooCommerce is also valued. However, there are significant drawbacks. Many users are unhappy with the mandatory Jetpack installation, which is seen as bloated and slows down websites. The plugin has been criticized for limited functionality, such as issues with credit card processing, lack of alternative payment methods like PayPal, and unreliable tax calculations. Additionally, customer support is often slow or unresponsive, leading to user frustration and loss of business. Frequent errors and compatibility issues further diminish its reliability.

Plugin only allows you to pay for labels using the credit card on your wordpress account. Completely useless if business transactions are all done using a different merchant processor like Paypal. Zero thought was put into this and uninstalled it once I found this issue.

Do not try to add things from 3party to your stuff , I do not need to have AI track me and what I do on my site. That site is on my blocklist now (cdn.sift.com) on the server side , host file for any *.sift.com to 127.0.0.10

This plugin stopped working starting December 2023. It would still charge my card for the shipping labels but I would get an error before the label popped up to be printed. I couldn’t access the labels afterwards either. After WEEKS of trying to get help with support, they ended up saying it was an issue with my hosting service not having enough bandwidth. I’ve had the same hosting service for years with no issues. My thought is that they’ve continued to make the Jetpack plugin (which is required to make this plugin work) bigger and bigger, taking up more and more bandwidth to the point where you either have to increase your own hosting services or deal with it not working. Not worth it. Honestly would suggest new users go directly to Shopify instead of trying to deal with this nonsense.

There is no way to print a label, it keeps asking for a credit card, which it never registers….Updated – it turned out the wordpress.com account I had signed in with was different than the one trying to connect to pay and print the label. The plugin has been working great since support helped me figure out what the problem was.Also, you can pair this with “USPS Simple Shipping for Woocommerce” to calculate your shipping at the cart.
