New product enables ecommerce platforms to provide seamless, unified shipping experiences directly within their own offerings

ShipEngine, a leading shipping API, today launched ShipEngine for Platforms. 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 fulfillment, shipping, and delivery.

ShipEngine for Platforms enables seamless fulfillment and shipping capabilities, plus access to discounted 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 fulfillment 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 aim to partner with platforms on their mission to provide merchants excellent ecommerce experiences,” said Albert Ko, Chief Executive Officer of Auctane, parent brand of ShipEngine. “We understand that shipping is a critical part of the ecommerce equation. By partnering with ShipEngine, platforms can enable turnkey shipping experiences directly within their own solutions, eliminate the complexities of creating in-house shipping functionality, and focus on helping merchants sell products and run their businesses. With the introduction of ShipEngine for Platforms, ecommerce platforms can now easily integrate world-class shipping functionality and provide merchants enhanced, uniform shipping experiences at a lower total cost.”

ShipEngine for Platforms is powered by ShipEngine Elements, ShipEngine’s 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.
