Offering various delivery options can help conversion! In fact, each customer will be able to choose the one that best suits their needs.
This might mean activating multiple couriers, but don’t worry, there are various platforms built into your CMS that can help you choose and centralize the most appropriate solutions.

During peak season, traffic and orders increase. Insuring your parcel, especially in the case of valuable goods, can help you deal with unforeseen events such as loss or damage! Mistakes are just around the corner!

Exorbitant customs costs? Prepare the customer! Having an e-commerce business gives you the opportunity to export and offer your products to consumers in various markets. International shipping costs can be high, but the important thing is that the customer is aware of them.
So inform and anticipate customers about these costs and include them (if you can) in the final price of orders.

Make your shoppers’ lives as easy as possible, including in case of returns. It is a good option already including a label in the package for a possible return of goods.
