Canada Post has announced a strategic partnership with Shopify, a cloud-based multichannel commerce platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses. With this new partnership, Shopify merchants are able to purchase shipping labels at up to 40% off the usual Canada Post rates when buying labels through Shopify.
“These are exciting times for our industry. Our business is evolving and changing at a tremendous clip, forcing us to be flexible and innovative and to think like a start-up,” said Valérie Normand, Director, Parcels and e-commerce Solutions Integration at Canada Post. “That can be a challenge for a business that is more than 250 years old. But we are up to the challenge. Paying attention to what other innovators are doing – companies like Shopify – is critical to our future.”
“By partnering with Canada Post, we’re extending our commitment to streamlining shipping and product delivery for over 21,000 merchants across Canada, so they can focus on other aspects of their business,” said Louis Kearns, Director of Product and Merchant Solutions at Shopify. “Merchants can now quickly buy and print discounted Canada Post shipping labels without ever leaving Shopify.”
Canada Post delivers nearly two of every three parcels Canadians order online and is offers a range of e-commerce delivery solutions.
