Shopify

Shopify is a globally recognised ecommerce platform designed to help businesses build, manage and scale online stores across web, social and marketplace channels. Used by retailers of all sizes, Shopify provides a reliable, user-friendly foundation for selling products online while supporting growth through a vast ecosystem of apps, integrations and customisation options. 

The platform includes tools for storefront management, product catalogues, order processing, payments and basic inventory tracking. Shopify supports omnichannel selling across online stores, marketplaces and social platforms, allowing businesses to centralise sales activity and customer data while maintaining a consistent brand experience. 

For MachShip customers, Shopify typically serves as the front-end system for capturing online orders, while MachShip manages the freight and delivery execution layer. Orders placed in Shopify can be passed into MachShip to create accurate consignments using consistent product, quantity and address data. This removes the need for manual re-keying and ensures dispatch workflows remain efficient as order volumes scale. 

MachShip can return carrier details, shipping labels, tracking numbers and delivery status updates, enabling businesses to provide customers with accurate delivery information and maintain visibility across fulfilment operations. This is particularly valuable for retailers shipping high volumes or complex freight beyond standard parcel delivery. 

Shopify is well-suited to businesses seeking a fast-to-market ecommerce solution with strong scalability and a mature integration ecosystem. When paired with MachShip, it provides a powerful combination for managing online sales and freight operations, supporting reliable fulfilment and improved customer experience.
