Is it hard to switch from my current shipping extension or solution?
True, this can be hard indeed — but don't let it put you off, especially since we offer a configuration service for you. Just let us know if you need assistance and our support will help.
Why should I pay for a monthly subscription instead of buying an extension and pay for it once?
The bunch of shipping extensions with similar functionality will cost up to $1500. That equals 28 months of Calcurates subscription. Pay as you go or take advantage of our monthly billing which is flexible and fair. You can compare and select the pricing plan here.
What are advantages of cloud-based solution compared to extensions?
There are numerous benefits of a cloud-based solution. For example, with all-in-one shipping there's no need to install dozens of extensions and then solve compatibility issues. There are no UX limitations from the platform's interface. We offer a separate intuitive interface, provide easier support and as we are an API-based service we won't need to access your platform while supporting you.
