What actually matters when you pick an app for a dropshipping store.
Low volume? Start cheap and simple. High volume? Pay for coverage, automation, and stability.
Check the price at your real shipment volume, not just the entry tier — costs can jump fast.
For 10–20 day delivery, prioritize carrier masking and expectation-setting notifications.
