New product enables ecommerce platforms to
provide seamless, unified shipping experiences directly within
their own offerings
ShipEngine, a leading shipping API, has launched ShipEngine for
Platforms in the UK. The product gives ecommerce platforms the
ability to embed superior, pre-integrated shipping components
directly into their own solutions. As a result, ecommerce platforms
can provide merchants a world-class shipping experience – blended
seamlessly into their existing product workflows – without the need
for custom software development.
For platforms, building their own shipping functionality is
complicated and expensive to implement. Often, this process
requires a team of developers, product managers, and designers, as
well as a long-term commitment to ongoing maintenance and customer
support. In contrast, the merchants using these platforms are
actively looking for ways to streamline and enhance their shipping
processes to meet online shoppers’ demands for efficient,
cost-effective deliveries. By operating without embedded shipping
functionality, platforms risk losing customers to external
solutions to manage order fulfilment, shipping, and delivery.
ShipEngine for Platforms enables seamless fulfilment and
shipping capabilities, plus access to favourable rates, directly
within the user experiences merchants are already familiar with.
For ecommerce platforms, this means no more customer diversions to
external sources for order fulfilment and the ability to fortify
their businesses for the future at a fraction of the cost
associated with developing an in-house shipping solution.
“At ShipEngine, we help platforms on their mission to provide
merchants with exceptional ecommerce experiences,” said Matt
Schurk, Chief Sales Officer of Auctane, parent company of
ShipEngine. “We understand the crucial role that shipping plays in
the ecommerce landscape. By partnering with ShipEngine, platforms
can seamlessly integrate turnkey shipping solutions into their
systems, removing the challenges of developing in-house shipping
capabilities. This partnership empowers platforms to focus on
assisting merchants in selling products and managing their
businesses effectively. With ShipEngine for Platforms now available
in the UK, ecommerce platforms can effortlessly incorporate
top-tier shipping functionalities, providing merchants with
enhanced and consistent shipping experiences at a reduced overall
cost.”
ShipEngine for Platforms is powered by ShipEngine Elements,
powerful embeddable web components that enable businesses to add
valuable shipping features – such as address validation, rate
shopping, shipping service selection, and label printing – directly
into their systems, without the need for costly design and
engineering work. These new features will further complement
ShipEngine for Platforms and enhance the solution to make it even
easier for platform partners to provide a best-in-class shipping
service.
Alongside its embedded web components, ShipEngine’s shipping
solution can also be accessed via its API and web carrier platform
for carrier integration management.
