Easyship's Impact on Shopify AU
Millions of shipments powered annually
4.5X increase in orders within six months
2.8X increase in Shopify AU activations post-implementation
In 2021, Shopify experienced a surge in Australian store activations and orders, thanks to Easyship's integration. By simplifying shipping logistics, Shopify was able to provide a superior customer experience and expand its merchant base.
This case study explores how Easyship's solution addressed the unique challenges of the Australian market, leading to significant growth and efficiency improvements for Shopify merchants.
Shopify Australia’s Challenge
Shopify has been empowering entrepreneurs since 2006, supporting millions globally. Despite its success, Shopify AU faced a unique challenge: ensuring efficient, cost-effective shipping across Australia’s vast, sparsely populated regions.
The Inflection Point
Australian merchants struggled with high shipping costs and logistical complexities, hindering eCommerce growth outside major cities. With domestic purchases making up 89% of the market, Shopify needed a robust solution to democratize shipping for all merchants.
Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify, details the fulfillment challenge for merchants and the need for a cutting-edge, integrated solution:
“Building logistics infrastructure is a side quest every eCommerce entrepreneur is eventually pulled into because of the way the logistics industry works: a series of disparate players, all focused on different aspects.
To run your store you work with extremely carefully designed software. To run logistics, you will use pen, paper, and phone calls a lot. And most of the time your service providers don’t talk to each other. Coordinating them to act together is your burden.”
