pre shipment

Engage shoppers earlier at the pre-shipment stages

For merchants with longer processing times, customize the pre-shipment status and provide visibility of pre-shipment progress on tracking pages and notifications. Keep customers in the loop, set expectations, and reduce anxiety with enhanced order transparency.

Use cases:
Peak seasons & warehouse overcapacity

Handling higher order volumes during peak periods and when warehouse processing capacity has been exceeded.

Print-on-demand (POD) businesses
Prompting just-in-time production upon order placement.

Pre-ordering
Allowing customers to purchase unreleased products.

in transit

Communicate the critical delivery stages

With AfterShip's rule-based notification workflows and multi-language branded tracking pages, customers will stay informed throughout the carrier's transit process, including updates on in-transit status, out-for-delivery, exceptions, failed delivery attempts, and availability for pickup.

Use cases:
Inform customers once the package is shipped

Notifying customers when the carrier has picked up their goods or if some items are partially shipped.

Prepare customers for delivery
Updating shoppers on "out-for-delivery" or "available for pickup" statuses so they can prepare as needed.

Manage shipment exceptions
Filtering to better manage shipments that need special attention and inform customers as needed.

returns exchange

Expedite returns and exceptions processing

Offer shoppers transparent tracking and expedited processing on returns & exchanges. Delight your customers with a unified post-purchase experience.

Use cases:

Address exceptions, returns, and exchanges quickly

Access return & exchange shipment statuses on the RMA detail page and use them to filter RMAs. Set up automation rules to speed up resolutions.

Reassure customers with proactive updates
Display return shipment statuses and EDD for returns and exchanges. Automatically inform shoppers through branded emails & SMS.

Integrate data insights
Manage smarter with aggregated insights, including peak order times, estimated delivery dates, average processing times, and carrier performance.

omnichannel

Connect online and offline customer experience

Swiftly locate, pick, and pack orders with the latest order information. Notify and allow shoppers to track their orders on branded tracking pages when they are ready for collection. Establish a seamless omnichannel experience.

Use cases:

Buy online, pick up in-store (BOPIS)

When shoppers make online purchases and collect the items at physical stores.

Buy online, ship to store (BOSS)
When BOPIS products are out of stock at a store, the BOSS system retrieves the identical product from the nearest branch, reducing the likelihood of lost sales.

When shoppers make online purchases and return at physical stores.
