What WebShopApps does

WebShopApps, operating commercially under the ShipperHQ brand, is a subscription SaaS platform that delivers multi-carrier shipping and checkout optimization for ecommerce merchants. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company originated as a Magento shipping extension specialist and has since expanded into a platform-agnostic product integrated with eight major ecommerce systems (Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Magento, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopware, Commercetools) and more than 100 carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, Kuehne+Nagel, Australia Post, Canada Post, and 30+ LTL freight providers).

The ShipperHQ platform addresses gaps in native ecommerce shipping tools through a proprietary best-fit dimensional packing algorithm that calculates true dimensional weight across multi-SKU carts, a multi-origin shipping engine that supports split-checkout and merged rates across distribution centers, a real-time delivery date display engine that accounts for lead times, cutoff times, and blackout days, an LTL freight module with accessorial surcharges, a no-code shipping rules engine, and a rate-shopping feature. The platform supports over 2,000 shipping methods and is used by 6,000+ brands across 150+ countries. Adjacent products include the Shipping Intelligence Platform (analytics, agents, and a free Shipping Health Check) and platform-specific extensions.

WebShopApps monetizes through recurring SaaS subscriptions priced by order volume, supplemented by a self-serve 15-day free trial, direct enterprise sales for high-volume merchants (up to 100,000+ orders/month), and an active agency and referral partner program. The business has accumulated long-standing platform certifications, including Magento Technology Partner since 2011, Adobe Technology Gold Partner since 2015, Salesforce Partner since 2019, BigCommerce Elite Partner, Shopify Plus Partner, and UPS Ready Premier Partner for 10+ years.
