Quote real shipping before the customer pays
Dropship and marketplace operators need checkout that handles multiple origins, real carrier rates, and fulfillment handoffs. Shepherd bin-packs orders into your box catalog and quotes UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL in one response — so margin is not eaten by flat-rate guesses.
What we ship
- 3D bin packing into your box catalog at checkout time
- Multi-carrier rate shopping through UPS direct and Shippo
- ShipStation integration for warehouse and 3PL fulfillment loops
- Digital and physical line items in the same order when needed
Typical setup
Operators usually configure box dimensions first, connect carriers, then map supplier SKUs with origin addresses so checkout returns accurate rates per cart.
