How does Shift work?

Integration: Businesses can integrate their sales channels (Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, etc.) or use Shift’s APIs for custom sites. This ensures automatic order syncing and easy shipment creation.

Order Booking: When an order is placed on the seller’s online store, it gets synced to the Shift dashboard. Sellers can also create shipments manually or in bulk.

Courier Selection: Shift connects sellers with 15+ courier partners. The platform automatically suggests the best courier based on rates, serviceability, delivery speed, and performance.

Shipping Label & Invoice: Once a courier is selected, Shift generates shipping labels, invoices, and tracking IDs instantly.

Order Tracking: Both sellers and their customers can track shipments in real-time through branded tracking pages and proactive notifications.

COD & Payments: Shift provides COD order confirmation on WhatsApp, early COD remittance, and detailed remittance reports to improve cash flow management.

Reverse Logistics (RTO/NDR): The platform manages undelivered shipments (NDR), reduces RTO with proactive customer calls, and supports hassle-free return shipments.

Fulfillment Services: Sellers can store inventory in Shift’s tech-enabled fulfillment centers (Hyderabad, Bangalore, Vizag soon) where orders are picked, packed, and shipped on demand.
