AfterShip vs Faprika

AfterShip is a post-purchase platform for ecommerce brands, started in Hong Kong around 2011 to 2012 by Teddy Chan, Andrew Chan and Dante Tsang after Teddy built a script to cut where-is-my-order emails in his own store. It raised a $66M Series B led by Tiger Global in 2021. Its core job is keeping shoppers informed after checkout and reducing support tickets about deliveries, returns and delays.

The suite is sold as separate products: Tracking (branded tracking pages, delivery notifications, estimated delivery dates and analytics across 1,300+ carriers), Returns (self-serve returns and exchanges), Shipping (label printing and rate comparison), Protection (shipping insurance), plus personalization and warranty tools. AI features and an MCP server give assistants read access to shipment and return data. Each product has its own tiers, and the Shopify App Store versions are priced differently from direct plans.

AfterShip fits Shopify, BigCommerce and WooCommerce brands that ship thousands of orders a year and want to turn tracking emails and pages into a marketing channel. Brands mainly needing cheap labels should look at Shippo, Easyship or ShipStation, and EU merchants often pick Sendcloud.

Buying tip: in mid-2026 AfterShip cut its direct Tracking plans from four to three, renamed Pro to Premium at $59 a month billed yearly, and moved to annual shipment quotas (6,000 a year on both paid tiers). API and webhooks start on Premium. On Shopify, compare the app's own plans, which include a free tier for 50 shipments a month.

Faprika is a hosted e-commerce platform from Istanbul, run by İnovabil Teknoloji San. ve Tic. A.Ş. The company cites about 20 years of e-commerce experience and more than 3,000 brands on the platform. Its core job is to give Turkish merchants an online store plus one panel for orders, stock, shipping and e-invoicing across their own site and the big marketplaces.

Faprika connects to Trendyol, Hepsiburada, Amazon, n11, Temu, AliExpress and others, syncs stock, sends e-Fatura, e-Arşiv and e-İrsaliye documents, and plugs into Turkish payment providers such as iyzico, PayTR and Param, plus bank virtual POS. Other modules cover WhatsApp orders, dealer commissions, B2B wholesale, multi-currency export, warehouse management and FaprikAI for ads and content. Plans come in two families: Profesyonel (Start, Master, Ultimate, Elite) and Premium (Smart, Enterprise, Exclusive), plus a custom Private tier. Marketplace integrations only arrive from Ultimate upward.

Faprika suits Turkish SMBs and growing brands that sell on several marketplaces and want local invoicing and cargo handled in one place. Compared with ikas, it feels more traditional but offers deeper B2B and ERP options; Ticimax and İdeaSoft are its closest like-for-like rivals. Shopify is better for selling abroad with a global app ecosystem.

Buying tip: listed prices are starting prices tied to yearly payment, with campaigns such as pay one year, use 15 months and 12-month installments. Check whether VAT is included and which integrations are marked optional before choosing a tier.
