About Shipto

We build software
for the days
after checkout.

Most commerce software helps merchants sell. We build for the slow, quiet days between "thank you for your order" and "thank you for the doormat photo" — the part of the transaction that earns lifetime value, but lives in support inboxes and spreadsheets.

01

The shipment is part of the product.

A doormat photo is the only review most customers ever write. We treat the wait as part of the unboxing.

02

Carriers should be invisible.

Customers buy from you. Not UPS. Shipto translates carrier jargon into your voice, your typography.

03

Anxiety is bad for retention.

Every "where is my order?" ticket is a moment a customer considered going elsewhere.

Our route

A short history of the house.

From an idea about carrier-API horror stories to a platform that handles the whole post-purchase window.

  • Aug 2024

    Sketched on a napkin in SFO terminal G.

    Two founders, one delayed flight, a notebook of carrier-API horror stories.

  • Nov 2024

    First production shipment tracked.

    A jar of honey from Vermont to Brooklyn. It arrived three days late.

  • Feb 2025

    Seed round closed.

    Backed by operators who had shipped at scale and understood the post-purchase gap firsthand.

  • Jul 2025

    Expanded carrier coverage globally.

    Including carriers in markets others ignore — the South Pacific, West Africa, and rural LATAM.

  • Jan 2026

    Launched proactive notifications.

    First SMS — a candle in Lisbon at 3:42 AM. Opened in 9 seconds.

  • Now

    Building for the post-carrier era.

    Branded pages, upsells, multilingual notifications. The long quiet work of making the wait worth it.

Five things on the wall.

— House code —
I

Ship the obvious thing.

If it took a meeting to invent, it probably should not exist.

II

Brevity is a feature.

A good error message is shorter than a bad one.

III

Touch the carrier.

We pick up the phone when a sorting hub goes down at 3am.

IV

Design like a publisher.

Every screen has a layout, a tone, a reason for being read.

V

Earn the next purchase.

Our success metric is your repeat rate, not our DAU.

The team

A small team.
Big opinions on shipping.

Carrier ops, product design, engineering, and customer success — distributed across timezones so someone is always awake when a sorting hub goes down.

Carrier Operations

We monitor carrier feeds, catch anomalies, and translate events into human language.

Product & Design

Every screen has a point of view. We design for merchants first, engineers second.

Engineering

Webhooks, APIs, reliability. We take on-call seriously.

— How we work —

Backed by people who understand the logistics gap.

We raised from operators and founders who had lived through the same post-purchase frustrations our customers face. They push on the right things.

Operator-led

Our backers have run brands, managed warehouses, and handled angry WISMO tickets at scale.

Retention-obsessed

We are measured on repeat purchase rates, not just activation. Skin in the right game.

Carrier-connected

We have direct relationships with carriers globally, not just API integrations.

Merchant-first

Every product decision starts with a merchant workflow, not an engineering constraint.

An invitation

If you ship,
we'd love to
meet you.
