Does Square work with Pirate Ship?

[geekster]

I use Pirate ship but I can find it in the app. store on Square.

While the 2 do not integrate directly, I do use Pirateship easily. I just copy the name & address from my Square orders into Pirateship. Voila!

It would be great and save a lot of time going through these steps if Square and PirateShip were  integrated. For now, it’s a good plan.

I agree completely, but it works for now.  We just need to keep bugging Square to integrate with Pirate Ship.

There are many of us who wish there was a pirate ship integration.  Square hasn't heard us yet, maybe not loud enough?

[Thevioletfox]

I think they are definitely aware of this being a request. I think it's probably just not as simple as we would like it to be. My "day job" is working as a data manager for a tech company (not Square, obviously), and we get client requests all the time that we would love to see happen, but it takes a while because those things have to be programmed, tested, reprogrammed, tested again, etc. And integrations between 2 existing technologies gets even trickier. Both companies have to be on board and work together to make data flow from one to the other. Anyway, my point here is that I think Square has heard us and has probably discussed it and may even be working on it for all we know. But every request can't just magically happen because we yell loud enough LOL Unfortunately... otherwise I'd be doing a lot of yelling myself on a lot of forums 🙂

It is not only being loud enough.  It takes a long time for Square to really pay attention to requests. Requests have to be made often.  I literally asked for a way to print packing lists for nearly two years until they did put a mechanism in place.  I posted and attended on line round tables along with others.  The issue is to get the development team to understand why you want the integration, and what it will do that is different from what is currently available.

I'd really like to see pirateship integrated with square so that we can utilize it with invoices. Not being able to use it with square has me considering taking my entire business and leaving square altogether. Shippo doesn't do what I want, and every time we copy/paste things in, it's a chance for another error.

[BernadetteA]

Thanks for posting, @CrystalGems Can you clarify what Shippo is missing, or why it won't work for you? I'd be happy to pass your feedback along to both teams. 

[sfcsu]

This has been discussed before A LOT.  Shippo does not utilize media mail and PirateShip has better USPS priority mail rates.

^ What SFCSU said.

Square If you are looking to integrate Pirate Ship with Square contact Pitney Bowes they are the ones that run the whole thing with the USPS & UPS

Or create your own system like Pirate Ship

Would LOVE if Square integrated with Pirate Ship!!

[Candlestore]

PirateShip integrates with SquareSpace, I am not sure if that is the same as Squareonline or not since I use a different web host.  If you log in to Pirate ship and select from integrations you can see what pirateship integrates with.

[EJSCreations]

Squarespace is not the same as Square.

I vote for Pirate Ship also, we use it everyday and even though it is easy to copy/paste, integration would be great.

Hello @rtfulk thanks for stopping by with some great input again! I am not seeing on our Ideate Board a feature request for this integration. I encourage you to submit one there. Our team can track the request and provide updates from there. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
