![]() If you bump up to one of the Pro Plans with Endicia, you also get UPS and FedEx.ĭepending on your budget, however, you can use both. On the other hand, limits you to just one shipper. So if you’re primarily shipping USPS, it’s a lot nicer to use the interface. When you print a label, you’ve spent money just as much as if you converted your dollars into a Starbucks Frappuccino and, since the Ship To address is printed on the label, a week-old label is about as hard to convert back into dollars as a week-old Frappuccino. With the USPS shipping, postage is like money. So I would say this somewhat mitigates the issues mentioned above, but who wants to print a test label, review it, and then print it for real? I think that’s key, since you don’t see the rates ahead of time, but really not necessary in the interface, because you have all the information you need. Dazzle has a “test mode” where it will print labels with “Void” across them, so that you can test print before you commit.If you have Dazzle already open, the XML file used to transfer data between eCC and Dazzle will be locked, which means that eCC can’t send data to it and you’ll go almost through the whole process and then it will fail with an “Outputfile not generated” error (note, this is not “Output File not generated”, “outputfile” is a specific term used by the Dazzle XML spec).Īgain, this is another huge plus in favor of.when the Dazzle app comes up, it does not display the Ship To address or the postage charges.The eCC Dazzle connector transfers you to the desktop Dazzle application when you click on “Generate Label”, but the handoff is a little rough. also keeps you within Webgility eCC and so you see the address of the customer whose label you’re printing and all the other details.actually tells you how much the shipping will cost before you print.That’s a pretty cumbersome workflow for the typical small business (and probably completely unmanageable for a large business). This is not the case if you are shipping entirely from within the Endicia interface, but in that case, there’s no great way to get your data from your store to Endicia-the best option for Ubercart is to generate an XML file, download it to your local machine, open Endicia, load the XML file into Endicia and then generate labels. When you click to generate the label via Endicia Dazzle, it takes you to the Dazzle desktop app, but minus the information you really care about-the Send To address and the shipping charges. When you click to generate the label in it just generates it right from eCC without opening the desktop application. When it comes to using and Endicia Dazzle through the eCC interface, though, there are a couple of differences as you can see in these pictures and as described below (click to see full sized images): Both of them offer 30-day free trials, so there’s no harm in doing what I did and testing both to see which works best for you. As standalone applications, I could take either one and be very happy. ![]() Both pre-fill and print integrated customs declarations as a single label and advise on prohibited items for the country in question (you can’t legally send a radar detector to Swizterland, for example).Endicia Dazzle lets you print shipping labels not only from the USPS for domestic and international shipping, but also from UPS and FedEx if you sign up for one of the pricier plans.lets you buy US Postal Service postage and print shipping labels straight from your computer, for both domestic and international shipping.Webgility e-Commerce Connector (eCC) is a desktop tool that provides complete integration between Ubercart, the Quickbooks accounting system and shipping systems, notably Endicia Dazzle and.There’s simply nothing like it and Ubercart lets you build on the power of Drupal. I love the power of Drupal CCK (custom structured data fields of any imaginable sort) plus Views (which allows for amazing custom data extraction and presentation). Ubercart is a shopping cart system built on Drupal. ![]() Okay, I expect anyone who makes it to this page will know what all of those are, but in brief: I’ve been testing Webgility eCC with Ubercart and Dazzle and. That said, Trail Designs is still using Webgility and eleven years after this post and it has generally worked out well for them. For most small e-commerce businesses, Shopify is now our standard recommendation. When Drupal 6 reached end of life in 2016, Ideawrights migrated Trail Designs to Shopify rather than upgrading Drupal. It was written for Drupal 6! I’m not sure any of it applies anymore. ![]()
