CartFlows vs Easyship
A side-by-side editorial comparison of CartFlows and Easyship — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
CartFlows vs Easyship: at a glance
What is CartFlows?
CartFlows hands order-bump product selection to a model instead of a manual rule.
CartFlows Pro 3.2.0 and the free CartFlows 3.2.0 shipped four minutes apart, as this feed's releases always do. The Pro release introduces AI-powered product selection for Order Bumps and an Auto Suggest for Frequently Bought Together; the free plugin adds the compatibility that lets Frequently Bought Together work, plus express checkout fixes. Both bodies are teasers that link out, so the scope beyond the headline features is not readable here. The prior cycle added Product Bundles support and A/B split testing for order bumps.
What is Easyship?
Easyship stops collecting compliance data and starts filing it at the border.
Easyship is a cross-border shipping platform: rates, labels, tracking and landed-cost calculation across a large courier portfolio, sold both as reselling on Easyship's negotiated rates and as LYOC for merchants bringing their own contracts. The summer run is two steady streams. Courier coverage keeps widening — Amazon Shipping, UniUni, Evri, Purolator, FedEx in the Netherlands, UPS DAP across six EU markets. Alongside it, customs work has sharpened: localised HS codes, country-of-origin selection, EU small parcel duty support, and now CPSC data pass-through to DHL and FedEx.

CartFlows
6.3E-COMM
CartFlows hands order-bump product selection to a model instead of a manual rule.
◆ Current state
CartFlows Pro 3.2.0 and the free CartFlows 3.2.0 shipped four minutes apart, as this feed's releases always do. The Pro release introduces AI-powered product selection for Order Bumps and an Auto Suggest for Frequently Bought Together; the free plugin adds the compatibility that lets Frequently Bought Together work, plus express checkout fixes. Both bodies are teasers that link out, so the scope beyond the headline features is not readable here. The prior cycle added Product Bundles support and A/B split testing for order bumps.
◆ Where it's heading
Order bumps have been the focus for three releases running, and the approach has changed. A/B split testing in 3.1.2 assumed a merchant choosing what to offer and measuring which choice won; 3.2.0 moves the choosing itself to a model. That is a shift from configuration to suggestion, and Frequently Bought Together follows the same logic on the storefront side. The free and Pro plugins remain a matched pair, with the free tier reliably shipping the compatibility groundwork the paid features need.
◆ Prediction
Expect the AI selection to spread from order bumps to the other offer surfaces — upsells and pre-checkout offers — since they share the same product-picking problem. How the suggestions are generated is not something these teaser bodies disclose.
Easyship
3.8E-COMM
Easyship stops collecting compliance data and starts filing it at the border.
◆ Current state
Easyship is a cross-border shipping platform: rates, labels, tracking and landed-cost calculation across a large courier portfolio, sold both as reselling on Easyship's negotiated rates and as LYOC for merchants bringing their own contracts. The summer run is two steady streams. Courier coverage keeps widening — Amazon Shipping, UniUni, Evri, Purolator, FedEx in the Netherlands, UPS DAP across six EU markets. Alongside it, customs work has sharpened: localised HS codes, country-of-origin selection, EU small parcel duty support, and now CPSC data pass-through to DHL and FedEx.
◆ Where it's heading
Courier additions are the maintenance work of this category and will continue as a cadence rather than a direction. The direction is customs. Regulators on both sides of the Atlantic tightened enforcement this year — the EU's €3 small parcel duty in July, CBP's CPSC e-filing requirement with no value threshold — and Easyship has consistently shipped support inside days of each deadline. That turns compliance from a field merchants fill in into something the platform is accountable for delivering to the authorities.
◆ Prediction
UPS is already listed as coming soon for CPSC pass-through, so completing courier coverage is the near-term step; the pattern of shipping to each enforcement date suggests the next regulatory deadline gets the same treatment before it lands.
