What is Cody?

Cody is still paying down its pricing trust debt, one discrepancy a merchant would have caught by hand.

Cody Store shipped six items in a single batch, and four of them exist because a shopper or a back-office system was told the wrong number. Sale prices differed between listing and product pages, spend-and-save offers were rendered as per-item discounts, BOGO rounding sent paid orders to OnTempo looking unpaid, and a countdown timer had quietly become dependent on an unrelated field. The two additions — per-promotion caption colours and undo in Page Builder — are small controls handed to merchants who previously filed a request.

What is Starshipit?

Starshipit keeps widening its carrier network and sharpening cross-border customs handling.

Starshipit is a shipping and fulfillment platform for ecommerce merchants, focused on labels, live rates, tracking, and carrier breadth. The recent releases are steady, breadth-first work: new courier integrations across several regions, and a run of customs and duties controls (landed costs, DDP, third-party duty billing) that make cross-border shipping less error-prone.

Cody vs Starshipit: editorial side-by-side

C
Cody
E-COMM
5.0

Cody is still paying down its pricing trust debt, one discrepancy a merchant would have caught by hand.

◆ Current state

Cody Store shipped six items in a single batch, and four of them exist because a shopper or a back-office system was told the wrong number. Sale prices differed between listing and product pages, spend-and-save offers were rendered as per-item discounts, BOGO rounding sent paid orders to OnTempo looking unpaid, and a countdown timer had quietly become dependent on an unrelated field. The two additions — per-promotion caption colours and undo in Page Builder — are small controls handed to merchants who previously filed a request.

◆ Where it's heading

The promotions pipeline is being made honest end to end: what the shopper sees on a listing tile, what the cart charges, and what lands in OnTempo are converging on the same figure. The self-serve thread continues in parallel, with each release moving one more thing out of a support ticket and into a toggle or a colour picker. Nothing here builds new merchandising capability; it is the correctness work that has to precede it.

◆ Prediction

With display and export both reconciled, the next surfaces are likely to keep extending Promotions v2 controls that were previously site-wide defaults — the caption colour picker is the template for that pattern.

S5.0

Starshipit keeps widening its carrier network and sharpening cross-border customs handling.

◆ Current state

Starshipit is a shipping and fulfillment platform for ecommerce merchants, focused on labels, live rates, tracking, and carrier breadth. The recent releases are steady, breadth-first work: new courier integrations across several regions, and a run of customs and duties controls (landed costs, DDP, third-party duty billing) that make cross-border shipping less error-prone.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is incremental depth over reinvention — more carriers, more accurate checkout rates, and finer control over who pays duties and taxes. The July update leans into checkout-rate accuracy (per-item packaging, Shopify dimension imports) and international compliance, suggesting cross-border ecommerce is the priority segment.

◆ Prediction

Expect the cadence of regional carrier additions and customs-control refinements to continue, with more platform integrations feeding accurate dimensions and tax data into rate calculation.
