Company profile
researched Aug 2026ShipShap operates a platform that brings together online selling, payment collection and shipping for merchants of varying sizes, from single-parcel senders to businesses moving full containers. Its offering is organized around the order lifecycle: a pre-purchase layer with a no-code storefront builder, the ability to link multiple existing stores, and sales capture directly on WhatsApp from a single dashboard; a purchase layer providing checkout that accepts cards, M-PESA, other mobile money and pay-on-delivery, with multi-currency collection into one wallet and scheduled automated payouts; a post-purchase layer for viewing and managing orders across stores, reconciling payments, handling returns and comparing shipping rates and delivery timelines; and a scale layer for local, national and international shipping with customs and freight handled on the merchant's behalf.
The product interface includes package and warehouse management features such as package templates, flat package types and weights, warehouse capacity tracking, order and item-sold counters, and customs declaration workflows covering content type, incoterm selection (for example DDU, duties unpaid by sender), non-delivery instructions and signer certification. Balances and transactions are shown in both local currency (Kenyan shillings) and US dollars, reflecting cross-border use. The site also offers package tracking, published pricing, integrations and a blog.
