Hurricane partners with ibundle for Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) solution

Hurricane is partnering with ibundle to provide cross-border Shopify retailers with a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) solution.

ibundle has integrated Hurricane’s all-in-one Kona API to provide it with world-leading landed cost calculator technology.

By using the ibundle Shopify app, retailers can offer their customers Hurricane’s calculator without the need for any technical development.

The process for the shopper couldn’t be easier. They simply click on the Shopify checkout to complete their transaction, the ibundle app requests the landed cost calculation, Hurricane’s Kona returns the estimation with the information being visible in the Shopify store checkout page.

As ibundle says: “For Shopify merchants expanding their reach across borders, accurate tax and duty calculation is a game-changer.

“It not only simplifies the shipping process but also enhances the customer experience, reduces costs, and ensures compliance with international regulations.

“By investing in the right tools and systems, you can take your cross-border eCommerce business to new heights and establish a strong presence in the global marketplace.”

Delivered Duty Paid SolutionSome 55% of online shoppers will abandon their online shopping cart due to lack of cost transparency.

Hurricane has examples of retailers who have increased their revenues by as much as 24% by providing accurate landed cost calculation.

It is also a smart way to ensure customs compliance and avoid shipment delays and unexpected costs.

Perhaps most important of all, by accessing the Hurricane landed cost calculator via ibundle, retailers can significantly enhance their brand reputation, build trust, increase referrals and drive repeat business.

The ibundle-Hurricane partnership is also ideal for sellers wanting to ship into the European Union in a post-Brexit world, allowing you to ship seamlessly without the need for an Import One Stop Shop (IOSS registration).
