Still choosing?

Pick the lowest-friction path first.

The fastest integration is usually the one that matches your current order source. You can move from CSV or plugin-based workflows to the API later when your requirements are clearer.

I need live shipping quotes in checkout Start with WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento.

I want to import orders and book later Use Shopify, WooCommerce order sync, eBay, PayPal, or CSV import.

I am building a custom checkout or backend Use the REST API for quoting, booking, labels, and tracking.

I just need a batch workflow this week Use CSV import first, then move to a plugin or API when the process settles.
