DHL Group is partnering with Shopify to help merchants ship products more easily across borders. The partnership connects Shopify sellers directly to DHL’s global shipping network through the Shopify Shipping platform, cutting out extra steps and making international delivery simpler and faster.
With DHL already built into Shopify, sellers won’t need to sign up separately with a shipping company or figure out international customs on their own. Instead, they’ll have one place to manage shipping, including taxes, duties, and paperwork.
“As the world’s leading logistics company, DHL connects merchants to their end customers through our extensive network spanning 220 countries and territories,” said Katja Busch, Chief Commercial Officer at DHL. “We know that navigating customs clearance, duties, and tax compliance, in addition to finding a dependable delivery partner, can be complex without expert assistance. The partnership between DHL and Shopify allows merchants to tap into DHL’s expertise and use our unrivaled network, products, and services effortlessly. It’s all geared to enabling merchants to deliver to their customers in a hassle-free manner.”
The new integration is already live in the U.S. and Germany. In the U.S., Shopify merchants can also offer “Delivered Duty Paid” (DDP) shipping, which lets sellers handle customs and taxes upfront. That way, shoppers don’t get hit with surprise fees when their order arrives.
“With Shopify Shipping, we’re doubling down on unified commerce, giving merchants a logistics solution that’s not just seamless, but scales with their business,” Shopify President Harley Finkelstein said. “By launching with DHL as a pre-integrated partner, we’re streamlining fulfillment in one powerful hub, breaking down barriers and unlocking global opportunities for merchants to thrive.”
DHL’s shipping options will continue to roll out to more countries throughout 2025 and 2026, including other parts of Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
