How It Works

From Shopify Checkout to Customer's Doorstep

A streamlined six-step process turns every Shopify order into a same-day, scan-verified, branded shipment β€” with the native Shopify integration your customers expect from a serious DTC brand.

Connect

Install the 3PLCity Shopify app directly from your Shopify admin. SKUs, variants, and current inventory levels import automatically. Total setup time under 10 minutes. No developers, no middleware platforms to pay $50-300/month for.

Send Inventory

Ship your products to our Los Angeles fulfillment center via container, LTL, or small parcel. Container drayage from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach handled directly β€” we are 8 miles from the ports. Received, counted, scanned, and live in your Shopify inventory within 24 hours.

Order Syncs

The moment a customer checks out on your Shopify store, the order lands in our WMS instantly. No CSV exports, no batch delays. Multi-channel orders from Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and any other connected channel sync into the same shared inventory pool β€” preventing overselling between Shopify and your other channels.

Pick & Pack

Scan-verified picking with 99.8% accuracy across Shopify SKUs and variants. Your branded box, tissue, custom inserts, samples, thank-you cards, and unboxing materials applied per your documented spec. Premium presentation on every Shopify order, every time.

Ship

Multi-carrier rate shopping at the moment of label creation across UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, OnTrac, and LSO β€” selecting the lowest total cost including all surcharges. Typically saves 8-15% versus single-carrier accounts. Tracking pushes back to Shopify within minutes of label creation.

Track & Optimize

Tracking syncs back to Shopify automatically, triggering your branded shipment notifications. Returns sync back through your branded RMA portal. SKU-level performance data surfaces in our dashboard β€” return rates, fulfillment cost per order, carrier performance β€” so you can optimize over time.

Benefits

Why Shopify Brands Choose 3PLCity

Built specifically for the native Shopify integration, branded unboxing, surge capacity, and multi-channel inventory pooling that growing Shopify brands actually need β€” from the same Los Angeles 3PL handling DTC, Amazon FBA, and TikTok Shop from one inventory.

πŸ”Œ

Native Shopify App

Our certified Shopify app installs in 10 minutes directly from your Shopify admin β€” no webhooks to configure, no middleware platforms like ShipStation or ShipHero charging $50-300/month, no CSV uploads, no developers needed. Orders, inventory, and tracking sync in real time the moment your customer clicks Buy.

πŸ“¦

Branded Unboxing on Every Order

Custom tissue paper, branded mailers, thank-you cards, samples, scent inserts, sticker packs, gift messaging, and gift wrap β€” every detail of your unboxing executed per spec on every Shopify order. Premium presentation that drives Instagram and TikTok unboxing posts, which drive more sales than any paid ad.

⚑

Same-Day Shopify Shipping

Orders placed on your Shopify store before 2 PM Pacific Standard Time ship the same business day, every business day. Orders after the cutoff ship next morning. No queues, no batch delays, no "fulfilling soon" status that turns into a "where is my order" support ticket.

πŸ“Š

Real-Time Inventory Dashboard

Live SKU-level inventory visibility across every Shopify variant, channel, and warehouse location. Low-stock alerts, automated reorder thresholds, slow-mover reports, and aging inventory analytics β€” surfaced directly in your dashboard. Plus real-time visibility from your Shopify admin via the native app.

Hassle-Free Shopify Returns

Branded RMA portal with your Shopify store's logo, colors, and brand voice. Customers initiate returns themselves, receive pre-paid labels, ship back, and we inspect, grade (A/B/C/D), and restock Grade A units within 24 hours. Return data flows back to Shopify automatically. 85% average resellable recovery rate.

πŸ“ˆ

Scales From 200 to 200,000 Orders

Whether you are launching Shopify Plus with 200 orders a month or running a mature DTC brand at 200,000 orders a month, the same operations team and infrastructure scales with you. No re-onboarding, no platform switches. Surge capacity for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, viral moments, and Shopify Plus product launches built in.

Who We Serve

Built for Shopify Brands Like Yours

Whether you're a fast-growing Shopify DTC brand, a Shopify Plus enterprise, or an international brand entering the US via Shopify β€” our infrastructure scales from 200 orders a month to 200,000 without ever needing to switch 3PLs.

Fast-growing Shopify DTC brands

Shopify and Shopify Plus stores scaling past self-fulfillment capacity. Usually 200-5,000 orders/month founders looking to reclaim 10+ hours per week from packing and shipping themselves to refocus on product, marketing, and growth.

Multi-channel Shopify sellers

Shopify brands also selling on Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, or wholesale who need one unified inventory pool across every channel β€” not five separate fulfillment accounts and a daily oversell crisis when a unit sells on Shopify and Amazon simultaneously.

Subscription Shopify brands

Shopify stores running monthly subscriptions, replenishment programs, or recurring orders through Recharge, Bold, Loop Subscriptions, or other Shopify subscription apps β€” needing precision kit assembly, on-time billing-cycle shipping, and per-subscriber variant handling.

Shopify Plus brands

Brands on Shopify Plus running Shopify B2B, Shopify Markets, custom checkout extensions, or multi-storefront setups who need a 3PL that integrates with the full Shopify Plus stack and supports the volume requirements of enterprise-tier Shopify growth.

International brands entering US via Shopify

Overseas brands launching in the US market using Shopify as their storefront who need American warehousing 8 miles from the Port of LA, 2-day domestic delivery coverage, and a single 3PL that can also handle Amazon FBA prep, Walmart, and TikTok Shop from the same Shopify inventory.

Boutique & specialty Shopify brands

Custom packaging, artisan products, limited editions, premium unboxing experiences, and high-touch fulfillment requirements that mass-market 3PLs treat as exceptions instead of as the standard. We treat boutique-level execution as the baseline, not the upgrade.

What Is Shopify 3PL Fulfillment?

A Shopify 3PL (third-party logistics provider) is a company that stores your inventory, picks and packs your customer orders, and ships them directly to your customers β€” fully integrated with your Shopify store via native API connection. When a customer clicks "Buy" on your Shopify site, your 3PL receives the order automatically through real-time API sync, picks the items using scan-verified workflows, packs them to your branded specification, generates the shipping label through multi-carrier rate shopping, and dispatches the package same-day. You never touch a box. The customer receives a branded shipment within 1-2 days for West Coast addresses and 2-3 days for nationwide ground delivery.3PLCity is one of those partners β€” built specifically for Shopify and Shopify Plus brands. Our native Shopify app installs in 10 minutes from your Shopify admin, syncs inventory and orders in real time, and ships from our Los Angeles fulfillment center 8 miles from the Port of LA. Reach 96% of the United States in 2 business days via ground. No middleware platforms, no developer setup, no monthly software fees on top of fulfillment cost.

‍

When Should You Move to a Shopify 3PL?

Most Shopify brands start by self-fulfilling β€” from a garage, spare room, or small warehouse. It works until it doesn't. The right time to move to a Shopify 3PL is different for every brand, but the signals are consistent: you're spending more than 10 hours per week packing and shipping orders yourself; you've had 3+ shipping errors or late shipments in the past 90 days; you cannot take vacations because someone has to ship orders; you're running out of storage space and considering a commercial warehouse lease; you're planning a product launch or marketing push that will spike order volume beyond what you can handle alone; you're expanding to Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, or wholesale and need one unified inventory pool; you're entering the United States from overseas and need American warehousing; or your shipping costs feel too high and you have no leverage to negotiate carrier rates directly.

In-House vs. 3PLCity Shopify Fulfillment Comparison

How does 3PLCity connect to my Shopify store?

We use a native Shopify app that you install directly from your Shopify admin in under 10 minutes. Once connected, all orders, inventory, and tracking sync in real time via direct API integration β€” not through middleware platforms like ShipStation or ShipHero that charge $50-300/month and add an extra layer of integration failure between your store and your warehouse.

How fast do you ship Shopify orders?

Orders received by 2 PM Pacific Standard Time ship the same business day. Orders received after 2 PM ship the following business morning. We maintain 99.8% scan-verified pick accuracy across millions of shipped Shopify orders. From our Los Angeles facility, 96% of the US population receives delivery within 2 business days via ground shipping.

Can you handle my custom branded packaging?

Yes. Send us your boxes, tissue paper, branded mailers, custom inserts, thank-you cards, stickers, samples, scent inserts, or any other unboxing materials. We document your exact packing spec, store the materials in your dedicated inventory location, and apply them to every Shopify order per your standard. Photographed reference specs ensure consistency across every packer and every shift.

What happens when a Shopify customer wants to return something?

We provide a white-label branded RMA portal where Shopify customers initiate returns themselves with your store's logo and brand voice. Customers receive pre-paid return labels, ship back to our LA facility, and we inspect, grade (A/B/C/D), and restock Grade A units within 24 hours of receipt. Return data syncs back to your Shopify admin automatically. 85% average resellable recovery rate. Photo documentation available for chargeback defense.
