We're excited to partner with Shippo as Weebly's App of the Week to get you prepared for the upcoming holiday season! Now that you know how to use the app, Shippo's marketing team would like to explain why Shippo is the best app for small businesses.
What is Shippo, exactly?
Shippo strives to help businesses compete with large competitors by providing them with the ability to offer fast shipping. We’re here to handle shipping for you, so you can focus on running your business.
What are Shippo’s values?
At Shippo, we put our customers first in everything we do, and we treat everyone we interact with moral integrity. Operating on a system of trust contributes to the expectation that everyone takes ownership over projects and sees them through from beginning to end to be successful as a whole. As a company, we set high goals and pursue them relentlessly.
We take compassion seriously. Everything we do at Shippo comes from a place of caring - caring for our customers, the company, and each other.
What is Shippo in relation to Weebly? What do you offer Weebly users? How did you start your relationship with Weebly?
Although, Weebly solved the technological hurdle of building a website for many businesses, Weebly merchants were still presented with challenges ranging from marketing to customer support. For their ecommerce businesses, shipping was one of the biggest pain-points brought to Weebly.
So with the introduction of Carbon, Weebly decided to bring onboard third-party experts, like Shippo for shipping, who can introduce one-click integrations that can help Weebly entrepreneurs solve the businesses challenges they’re faced with.
How did Shippo get started?
In 2013, when Laura, Shippo’s co-founder, then a German graduate student and tech worker living in San Francisco – launched her online store, selling sustainable handbags. The whole process of setting up her online store was relatively seamless. She was able to find apps for processing payments, and generate sales. The only problem was, her trips to the post office were becoming increasingly frequent and, as such, a major time suck.
Laura was making two to three trips to the post office a day. She flagged shipping as a cost factor to her e-commerce business and was positive there were others that shared her pain. She began to look into the inefficiencies of shipping with Simon Kreuz (Shippo co-founder). That same year, she abandoned her e-commerce shop and by February Shippo was in business.
Where do you expect to see Shippo in the next few years?
We see a trend of small business owners starting to split their sales across marketplaces like eBay and Amazon, as well as through their storefronts. Our goal is to continue helping more and more small businesses achieve success through shipping. For instance, we recently became the official shipping platform on eBay Canada, and the shipping label partner platform for the eBay Guaranteed Delivery program.

I love the store! ❤️
I'm afraid the RTS feature of the Performance plan would not work for you. 
Our editor only has the ability to connect to the USPS, DHL Express, UPS, and FedEx. However, it could be something we could put a feature request in for. Which carrier in Spain do you use?
As far as your shipping dilemma goes, the only thing I can think of (right now) would be to add some type of disclaimer in your shipping rules letting people know that they may be subject to additional charges depending on their area. It's definitely not ideal, but may be the only option for you unless we can come up with a work-around.
