About HITShipo

“HITShipo is a shipping platform for automation”. HITShipo is an automation tool that let’s you print shipping labels,track orders,audit shipments etc. Both shipments are handled with a strong integration of e-Commerce.

Why HITShipo?

If you are tired by the process of creating and printing a shipping label, here is a simple solution for you. HITShipo is a fully automated solution that lowers your costs and saves your time.

  1. When an order is placed, the shipping label, invoice, packing slip gets automatically created and it will be mailed to your email, and at the same time, the label is updated on your site.
  2. It tracks the order information and automatically changes the state from shipped to a completed state when an order status is completed.
  3. Website Speed -> Shipping servers are returning a big amount of Base64 encoded data via API. If you are using any plugin, this encodes formatted data that will be getting saved in your DB. And DB size will get increased, Maintenance is needed to your Database in the future. Here we are handling that on the HITSHIPO side, only storing a short URL of the shipping label in the table.
  4. We are doing shipment audits, If a package goes wrong, any damage happens, the system will automatically capture the data & email you. You can get a refund from them.
  5. Mainly, When your customer enters the address, they may enter the address1 line very big. But shipping companies will support 44 characters to 60 characters. Here some shipping plugins will truncate the characters and create shipping labels that cause bad delivery. In HITSHIPO, This part is manually handled. If this kind of error comes while creating a shipping label, our team will manually enter that data from outside & create a label correctly.

Reviews

June 27, 2023
Firstly, this plugin is the only DHL integration plugin that does not hide box/parcel formatting behind a paywall. Secondly, it has every feature you could want. Every time I thought of something I would like to do or implement, I found it. Lastly, the support provided by HITShipo is top tier! I sent through a support ticket last night on their website, to arrive at work the following morning to find a response already.They then assisted me immediately with a request I thought would be declined. Ultimately, the features and response time provided by HITShipo are worthy of praise.I am doing this review purely because they have had such an impact with their service.
