GERMANY | DHL Group has expanded its partnership with Shopify to make it easier for merchants to ship their products worldwide.
With DHL pre-integrated into the Shopify Shipping platform, sellers worldwide can access DHL’s global network and shipping solutions with just a few clicks. Sellers on Shopify will no longer need to onboard a logistics provider independently, allowing them to streamline operations and reduce administrative burdens.
Additionally, the DHL integration enables sellers to manage complex customs, legal, and administrative tasks more efficiently.
This collaboration is set to benefit millions of Shopify merchants by providing a faster, simpler, and more efficient way to connect with DHL’s extensive network for both domestic and cross-border shipping.
“As the world’s leading logistics company, DHL connects merchants to their end customers through our extensive network spanning 220 countries and territories. We know that navigating customs clearance, duties and tax compliance, in addition to finding a dependable delivery partner, can be complex without expert assistance,” said Katja Busch, Chief Commercial Officer, DHL and Head of DHL Customer Solutions & Innovation.
“The partnership between DHL and Shopify allows merchants to tap into DHL’s expertise and use our unrivalled network, products and services effortlessly. It’s all geared to enabling merchants to deliver to their customers in a hassle-free manner.”
So far, the DHL integration on Shopify is live in the United States and Germany. For merchants in the USA, it also simplifies cross-border e-commerce with user-friendly “Delivered Duty Paid” (DDP) shipping.
This service protects consumers from unexpected additional fees, such as customs charges or import sales tax, as DDP shipping ensures that the merchant has taken care of all costs and formalities.
“With Shopify Shipping, we're doubling down on unified commerce, giving merchants a logistics solution that's not just seamless, but scales with their business,” said Harley Finkelstein, Shopify President.
“By launching with DHL as a pre-integrated partner, we're streamlining fulfilment in one powerful hub, breaking down barriers and unlocking global opportunities for merchants to thrive.”
Throughout 2025 and 2026, DHL shipping options on Shopify will gradually be rolled out to other major consumer markets in Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region.
