Shopify and DHL seal shipping pact

Shopify merchants in Germany now have direct access to DHL shipping services through the ecommerce software platform. In addition to added convenience, online retailers also benefit from lower costs, according to DHL. The integration will become available in other key European markets as well.

DHL has been integrated into Shopify Shipping, allowing online merchants to use DHL Logistics directly via Shopify’s online shipping platform.

Global partnership

In a press release, DHL refers to a global partnership. In addition to its home market of Germany – where Shopify is the most popular ecommerce software provider – the integration is now also available in the United States. Other European countries will follow later this year and next year, along with markets in North and South America and the Asia-Pacific region.

Seamless integration

Germany’s leading parcel delivery provider highlights the benefits of the shipping pact: “Thanks to the seamless integration of DHL with Shopify’s shipping platform, merchants around the world can access DHL products and services with just a few clicks. This reduces administrative costs.”

‘The integration reduces administrative costs’

DHL, active in 220 countries, further emphasizes that the collaboration improves access to the company’s shipping expertise, specifically pointing to reliable professional support with customs and tax matters. “The goal is to enable merchants to deliver smoothly to their customers both domestically and internationally.”

Integrated ecommerce

“With Shopify Shipping, we focus on integrated ecommerce: we provide merchants with a seamless logistics solution that grows with their business”, said Harley Finkelstein, president of the ecommerce software provider. “By integrating DHL as a partner, we simplify shipping within one powerful platform. We remove barriers and create opportunities for retailers to succeed globally.”

Shopify Shipping

In addition to DHL, Shopify Shipping also partners with Mondial Relay and Chronopost in France, Correos in Spain, and Poste Italiane – which formed a parcel locker joint venture with DHL – in Italy. In the United Kingdom, Evri is one of Shopify’s shipping partners. Earlier this month, it was announced that DHL Ecommerce UK will merge with Evri.
