At AfterShip, we take pride in our extensive partnerships with thousands of leading technology and service providers in the digital shopping and retail industries. To further empower our current partners and cultivate more mutually beneficial relationships, we are excited to announce the launch of our new strategic partner program.

AfterShip Partner Program: Who we partner with

We partner with technology and service providers across the eCommerce ecosystem, including:

Technology partners

A unified back end is crucial for building customer experiences that drive growth and retention, and that starts with a fully connected tech stack. We have a lofty goal when it comes to our technology partners. We want to ensure that AfterShip’s products are connected to any tool or app in a brand’s tech stack, increasing value for our customers and their customers.

"We are beyond grateful to work with the AfterShip team and to bring crucial shipment data to our mutual customers,” says Carina Shahin, Sr. Partner Manager, Integrations at Attentive. “This truly increases the success of their marketing programs. We look forward to all of the innovation and collaboration of our teams in the future!"

Agency partners

Most established and emerging brands leverage professional services to scale important elements of their business. That’s why we’re building a roster of best-in-class retail and eCommerce agency partners who can support our customers' biggest needs. Through these partnerships, we make agency life a little easier, too, by helping our partners build the right tech stack for their customers.
