ShipStation should maintain API access at all the levels that have it today for existing customers at 1Q2025 prices, and only require upgrading to Gold level to get API access if it's a new customer starting a new account. In other words, respect existing relationships by grandfathering, rather than bait-and-switching after we've invested in integration.

Cara,

The above is clearly not the case if you ignore feedback which you are clearly doing in this case!

Don't patronise your customers. 

Have a fantastic weekend!

C.

Hello @MrFrisbee!

 

I sincerely apologize if my previous comment was patronizing—that was never my intention. Please know that we take the impact of these changes on our merchants very seriously. We're actively working with everyone who has shared their concerns about the new API pricing and are committed to listening and supporting you as best we can.

 

We take everyone's feedback seriously and truly value your input.
