Simple Shipping Labels for WooCommerce

52 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

With roughly 1,000 active installs it is a niche tool, but it scores modestly above baseline because the install count is small relative to the score weighting and the plugin still holds a clear use case.

Update Freshness

9/25

It was updated on April 14, 2025 and is tested against WordPress 6.7.5, which keeps the maintenance score respectable, but no support thread history means we cannot confirm long-term responsiveness.

User Rating

15/15

All 7 reviewers gave it a perfect score, pushing the ratings component to its maximum, though the tiny sample size means the 100/100 should be read as 'no complaints yet' rather than proven quality.

Support Health

8/15

Zero public support threads and zero resolved tickets make support health unprovable, so the score lands at a neutral midpoint by default rather than reflecting a track record.

WP Compatibility

8/15

It requires only WordPress 5.0 and PHP 5.6, which is unusually compatible for older sites, and the recent 6.7.5 test tag suggests it tracks modern core releases too, but no WooCommerce version ceiling is advertised.

What It Does

Simple Shipping Labels for WooCommerce creates a printable page of shipping labels from your existing WooCommerce orders, then routes the output through your browser's standard print dialogue so it works with any continuous-feed label printer such as Dymo or Zebra. It does not integrate with carrier APIs, calculate postage, or generate PDF files; the printable output is HTML, which keeps things lightweight and dependency-free.

Who It's For

This plugin suits small WooCommerce shops that already ship with a continuous-feed thermal printer and just need a fast way to turn order details into printable labels without paying for a third-party shipping platform. It fits home-based sellers, craft merchants, and small warehouses doing low-volume, manual shipping where the operator is fine handling carrier selection and postage outside the workflow.

Who Should Skip It

If you need carrier rate shopping, tracking, or automated label generation with real postage you should skip this plugin entirely, because it produces plain text labels and delegates the actual shipping transaction to your existing tools. High-volume operations or anyone wanting a single print workflow for packing slips, invoices, and branded labels will also find it too narrow.

The Bottom Line

Simple Shipping Labels for WooCommerce is a narrowly focused, low-overhead utility that does exactly what its description claims and nothing more. Its overall score of 55.86/100 reflects tiny adoption and zero visible support history rather than broken software, and its perfect 100/100 user rating, while based on only 7 voices, is a fair endorsement of the workflow it targets. Try it if a thermal printer and HTML labels match your setup, otherwise look at the bigger PDF invoicing or carrier-integrated alternatives above.

Pick this if you want polished PDF invoices and packing slips rather than thermal labels, since it covers order documentation far more broadly with 300,000 installs behind it.

Germanized for WooCommerce 91/100

Choose this if you sell into Germany or the EU and need invoicing, legal compliance, and built-in shipping label workflows as part of one larger suite.

Customer Reviews for WooCommerce 89/100

Listed as a top alternative by category weight, but it solves reviews not shipping, so it only competes here as a small WooCommerce add-on and is not a direct label substitute.

WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway 88/100

Relevant if your shipping bottleneck is really payment processing rather than label printing, since Stripe has no overlap with label generation.

Mercado Pago payments for WooCommerce 88/100

Similarly miscategorized for shipping, but worth knowing about if Latin American payments are holding back your store more than fulfilment is.
