Flutterwave, the leading payments technology company in Africa, has partnered with SHiiP, a courier service provider in Nigeria.
The partnership is aimed at enhancing delivery services for SMEs and large-scale merchants on the Flutterwave Store across the African continent.
The collaboration is a significant step towards providing a seamless end-to-end e-commerce experience for small business entrepreneurs who use the Flutterwave Store.
This new integration will allow Flutterwave merchants to select from a range of over 80 domestic and international couriers including DHL, FedEx, UPS, Flocargo, Shippo, and Flo Express for the transportation of goods, leading to cheaper delivery rates.
By empowering SMEs with this logistics integration, the partnership will eliminate cross-border logistical challenges associated with international shipping.
The integration will be handled exclusively by SHiiP and their international couriers, enabling merchants to successfully ship internationally.
Flutterwave merchants can now benefit from the seamless transaction checkout that comes with the SHiiP integration.
Additionally, the integration will allow SME owners within Nigeria to have control over organising and tracking delivery couriers directly from their Flutterwave dashboard, all without the hassles they were previously faced with.
The Flutterwave Store has helped so many small businesses grow and connect, particularly since the pandemic back in 2020. Business owners who do not have access to creating a website or the complexities associated with running a business were handed a useful solution with Store.
Store offers several useful features, such as seamless product uploading, fast and easy checkout, multiple payment methods, discount, and product variation settings.
The partnership with SHiiP is a game-changer for merchants, freeing up their time and resources to focus on growth and sales. The vast number of couriers also means that it is easier and quicker to fulfill orders, as there is a reduced risk of limited delivery options.
Flutterwave and SHiiP’s integration will provide SMEs and online shoppers with a smooth transaction checkout and enable merchants to successfully ship internationally.
The benefits of this integration will be immensely valuable to customer satisfaction and the bottom line, continuing to provide merchants with innovative technological tools that are designed to help grow their business.
Ridwan Rasheed, Co-Founder, COO & Head of Products, SHiiP, said, “We are thrilled about our partnership with Flutterwave. It is a significant milestone for both companies and represents our commitment to driving innovation and enabling the growth of African businesses through seamless shipping options.”
