New offering saves ecommerce merchants time and money through
integration with USPS
OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Shopify
Inc. (“Shopify”) (NYSE:SHOP) (TSX:SH), a leading cloud-based
multichannel commerce platform, today announced the launch of Shopify
Shipping. Merchants can now easily buy and print discounted shipping
labels directly within the Shopify platform. Today’s integration with
USPS represents the first step towards improving shipping for Shopify’s
175,000+ merchants.
“Shipping is a fundamental component of any online merchant’s workflow.
We’re focused on streamlining shipping and product delivery for our
merchants, so they can focus on other aspects of growing their
business,” said Louis Kearns, Director of Product and Merchant Solutions
at Shopify. “With Shopify Shipping, not only are we saving merchants
time and money, but we’re also giving them the foundation they need to
perfect their fulfillment strategy. We expect to expand these benefits
to merchants in other geographies with additional shipping providers
over time.”
With the introduction of Shopify Shipping, merchants buying shipping
labels through Shopify will receive preferred USPS rates that are up to
60% off retail rates.
In addition to saving money when purchasing shipping labels, merchants
will now have the ability to either drop prepaid shipments off at USPS
offices without having to wait in line, or they can schedule a free home
pickup.
