AfterShip vs Ticimax

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.

Ticimax is a Turkish e-commerce infrastructure provider that offers hosted online store software for small, mid-size and larger brands selling in Turkey. Its core job is to give merchants a ready store with the local integrations Turkish e-commerce requires, so they can sell on their own site and on marketplaces from one panel.

The platform includes customizable store themes, product and stock management, campaigns and coupons, and integrations with Turkish payment providers, virtual POS systems and cargo companies. Marketplace integrations with Trendyol, Hepsiburada, n11 and Amazon synchronize products, stock, prices and orders, which is one of the main reasons merchants choose it. Accounting, ERP and e-invoice integrations connect orders to back-office systems, B2B features support dealer sales with special prices and payment terms, and mobile apps for iOS and Android can be added for the store. SEO tools, marketing integrations and reporting round out the package. Packages are listed publicly in Turkish lira and paid yearly, starting at ₺46,000 a year.

Ticimax fits Turkish merchants who sell heavily on marketplaces and want a mature local platform with support in Turkish. It competes mainly with ikas, which appeals to newer brands with a modern interface, İdeasoft, T-Soft and Shopify, which is stronger for international selling but needs extra apps for Turkish payments, cargo and e-invoicing. Merchants should compare total costs, including commission and add-on modules.
