[🆕🇩🇪] DHL and Shopify partnership simplifies global shipping

Online retailers worldwide now have a powerful new shipping solution thanks to the groundbreaking DHL and Shopify partnership.

This integration allows Shopify merchants direct access to DHL’s extensive shipping services seamlessly from Shopify’s platform, significantly streamlining both domestic and international shipping processes.

Effortless DHL integration for Shopify merchants

According to the DHL’s press release, the DHL and Shopify partnership integration in Shopify’s backend enables merchants to select DHL’s shipping options effortlessly without additional software or complex interfaces. This direct integration significantly reduces administrative workloads and ensures a transparent, efficient delivery process, enhancing customer satisfaction.

“As the world’s leading logistics company, DHL connects retailers with their end customers through an unrivaled network spanning 220 countries and territories,” says Katja Busch, Chief Commercial Officer DHL and Head of DHL Customer Solutions & Innovation. “Without the professional support of a reliable logistics partner, customs and tax issues can be challenging. Through the partnership between DHL and Shopify, retailers can conveniently access DHL’s expertise and utilize our products and services. Everything is geared toward enabling retailers to deliver seamlessly to their customers at home and abroad.”

Delivered Duty Paid (DDP): Revolutionizing cross-border shipping

A standout feature of the DHL and Shopify partnership, particularly beneficial for U.S. merchants, is DHL’s “Delivered Duty Paid” (DDP) shipping option. Retailers can incorporate all customs duties and taxes within the checkout process, eliminating unexpected fees at delivery. This transparency gives Shopify retailers a considerable competitive edge in international markets.
