Simplify PrestaShop Shipping with FlagShip

As an eCommerce business owner, you need a shipping solution that works with your online store rather than creating more manual work.

FlagShip’s PrestaShop integration connects your online store with FlagShip’s shipping system, helping streamline the process between receiving an order and preparing it for shipment.

Instead of visiting individual courier websites to compare shipping options, you can access multiple leading couriers through your FlagShip account and choose an available service based on your shipment requirements.

Benefits of Connecting PrestaShop with FlagShip

Here are some of the advantages of connecting your PrestaShop eCommerce store with FlagShip:

• Discounted courier rates: Compare discounted shipping rates from leading couriers for domestic, U.S. and international shipments, with savings of up to 70%.
• Multiple couriers in one place: Access shipping services from Purolator, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Canpar and GLS without having to manage separate shipping systems for each courier.
• Real-time shipping rates: Compare available courier rates and service options based on your shipment information.
• Less manual data entry: Import order and shipping information from your PrestaShop store into FlagShip to help streamline order fulfillment.
• Easy shipping labels: Create the appropriate courier shipping labels for your shipments.
• Courier pickup scheduling: Schedule pickups for eligible shipments directly through the shipping process.
• Shipment management: Keep your shipping activity organized within FlagShip’s online shipping system.
• Dedicated support: Get help from the FlagShip team for your shipping and integration questions.

How Does the PrestaShop Shipping Integration Work?

The integration connects your PrestaShop store with your FlagShip account so that you can manage the shipping process more efficiently.

When an order is ready to ship, you can use the integration to bring the relevant order information into FlagShip, compare available courier rates and services, select your preferred option, create the shipment and generate the shipping label.

This helps reduce the need to repeatedly enter the same customer and shipment information manually.

Compare Multiple Couriers for Your PrestaShop Orders

Shipping costs and services can vary depending on the size and weight of your package, its destination and the delivery speed you require.

FlagShip gives you access to multiple leading couriers, including:

• Purolator
• UPS
• FedEx
• DHL
• Canpar
• GLS

Comparing available courier options for each order makes it easier to select a shipping service that meets your delivery requirements and budget.
