Automated order fulfillment

As soon as an order is placed on your Shopify store, it’s automatically pushed to ShipBob, where it’s picked, packed, and shipped from one of our 30+ fulfillment centers of your choice.

You can track the entire order fulfillment process in real-time from the ShipBob dashboard — from purchase and picking, through delivery and even returns.

Customization

The delivery experience is often the first in-person interaction a customer has with your brand, so we believe it should be a great one! What other touchpoint has a 100% open rate?

Build a memorable unboxing experience for your customers, whether you have us use your custom branded packaging and marketing inserts, print custom gift notes for orders, or carry out kitting projects.

Does Shopify provide shipping?

Shopify offers a few built-in shipping options, including Shopify Shipping. So why choose a third-party option?  It’s simple: As the leading fulfillment provider for Shopify stores, ShipBob’s bread-and-butter is just that — order fulfillment. Shopify Shipping requires you to ship out orders from your post office of choice, can require a lot of manual backend work, and can be difficult to scale as your business grows. ShipBob is built to integrate seamlessly, automate your fulfillment, and scale with your business — no post office visits needed.

How do I offer free shipping on Shopify?

ShipBob can help you offer free shipping on your Shopify store without breaking the bank. You can require a minimum spend threshold for free shipping that’s greater than your average order value (AOV) — a strategy that led ShipBob customer iloveplum to a 97% increase in AOV on their Shopify store, as well as bundling products, using free shipping calculators or a progress bar showing the amount of money a customer needs to spend to qualify for free shipping, and of course promoting free shipping offers on your website banner.

Does Shopify provide shipping labels?

With Shopify Shipping, you’ll need to purchase shipping labels for each order through Shopify, then print and attach labels to each package. With ShipBob, we can not only store your inventory but shipping labels are automatically generated as soon as an order is placed on your Shopify store — then we’ll pick, pack, and ship the order for you. No printer necessary.

Does Shopify calculate shipping?

Shopify Shipping offers a real-time shipping app that calculates accurate shipping costs to display to your customers at checkout. It’s done automatically for any product and is based on the customer’s location and delivery preferences.
