What is Social Shipping?

Currently, when a social media platform is used as a sales channel, it takes many actions to realise the actual sale. Data has to be requested, a label is created manually using the data, information needs to be given about the shipping and delivery method and, finally, payment takes place. This process is error-prone and cumbersome. It can be much easier, more user-friendly and more appealing with Social Shipping. Social Shipping is the functionality within our platform that enables you to create a shipping label for the products you sell directly from any social media platform.
