AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) April 01, 2021 - ShipStation, the worlds leading web-based e-commerce shipping solution, today announced it has joined the Shopify Plus Certified App Program. The inclusion in the program marks ShipStations high standards of quality and service to merchants and provides merchants with a seamless integration to a powerful shipping and fulfillment solution.

The certification comes at a critical juncture where online merchants are experiencing high consumer demands for e-commerce experiences alongside a complex supply chain driven by COVID-19-related shipment delays. ShipStation data showed a 33% increase in online shopping in 2020, but even with COVID-19-driven delays, 86% of surveyed consumers agreed that a poor shipping experience would negatively impact their perception of a brand.

Over the course of the 10-year app partnership, thousands of Shopify Plus merchants have fulfilled millions of orders through ShipStation. These merchants include fast-scaling, innovative retailers like Billy Footwear, Cotopaxi, The Giving Keys, and Beardbrand.

With ShipStation, Shopify merchants can meet increasing consumer shipping demands while scaling their businesses. Shopify Plus gives large and growing merchants world-class scalability, reliability and flexibility on a platform optimized for conversion. With the integration, joint ShipStation and Shopify Plus merchants get access to key capabilities to manage shipments, fulfill orders and ultimately foster brand loyalty, including:
