How Long Does It Take To Implement SHIPAID?

Fast, Flexible Setup That Fits Your Stack

SHIPAID is built to go live quickly without disrupting your business. Whether you run a lean Shopify store or a complex, multi system environment, implementation is measured in hours, not weeks.

There is no lengthy rollout, no heavy engineering work, and no need to change how you sell or ship.

What Affects The Setup Timeline?

Implementation speed depends on two main factors.

1. Your ecommerce platform and stack

SHIPAID works out of the box with:

• Shopify and Shopify Plus
• Other major platforms such as BigCommerce, Magento, and WooCommerce

If you use a headless or custom setup, we connect via API and test flows end to end. That can add a bit more time but stays straightforward.

2. Approval and access

Once your team approves SHIPAID and shares the necessary access, we move quickly.

The faster we receive:

• Admin or collaborator access
• API or integration credentials
• A short overview of your shipping workflow

The faster we can launch.

Typical Implementation Ranges

• Shopify standard stores: about 1 to 2 hours
• Shopify Plus: about 2 to 4 hours including checkout theme testing
• Other platforms: about 2 to 4 hours, depending on integrations
• Custom or headless: timing varies based on data and testing needs

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Platform access and approval

After onboarding approval, we request the permissions required to connect SHIPAID to your storefront and systems. This ensures smooth syncing of orders, statuses, and customer data.

Step 2: Branded theme and messaging setup

We configure:

• A branded tracking and status experience
• Email and SMS notification flows
• Carrier sync and real time status updates

You get a preview of customer facing messaging and design. We tune voice and timing with you before launch.

Step 3: Checkout theme testing for Shopify Plus

If you use Shopify Plus, SHIPAID duplicates your checkout theme so we can:

• Test new post purchase elements safely
• Keep your live checkout untouched during setup
• Make updates with a quick, controlled switch

Step 4: Final QA and go live

We verify:

• Tracking accuracy
• Notification timing
• Mobile and desktop layouts
• Brand consistency across touchpoints

Once everything checks out, we go live. Your customers start seeing the upgraded experience the same day.

What You Do Not Need To Do

Implementing SHIPAID does not require you to:

• Replace your ecommerce platform
• Switch shipping providers or 3PLs
• Allocate engineering resources
• Sign long term contracts

You keep what works. We enhance it.

Shopify Plus: Built For Speed At Scale

Shopify Plus brands get deeper control without extra complexity:

• A duplicated checkout theme for safe testing
• Advanced branding control for fonts, colors, and layout
• Support for multiple locations and currencies

The result is a high converting post purchase flow ready in less than a day.

Real Brands, Real Timing

Health and wellness brand

A Shopify Plus merchant with multi currency checkout and a 3PL integration had SHIPAID duplicated, configured, and live in under four hours, with zero downtime.

Fashion DTC startup

A growing Shopify brand integrated SHIPAID in about 90 minutes. Within 30 days, delivery related support tickets dropped by 40 percent thanks to proactive communication.

Final Thoughts

Going live with SHIPAID does not take weeks. It takes hours.

From the moment you approve the integration, we move quickly to connect your store, set up branded flows, and launch with confidence. You do not need to change how you sell or ship.

You just change how you take care of customers after checkout.
