Gumtree has announced a strategic multi-year partnership with ShipStation, which will see it transition from a primarily offline service into a fully transactional online marketplace.
Sellers will now be able to manage delivery directly within Gumtree through its integration with ShipStation’s API, which provides a single connection to a wide range of carriers, enabling carrier performance management, automated label creation, and real-time tracking.
Kim Faura, Joint Managing Director at Gumtree, commented: “As we realise our vision for Gumtree to become the go-to marketplace for the home, ShipStation was the natural partner. Their expertise in advanced technology, logistics and carrier management will ensure our customers experience smooth and efficient transactions that transform how people buy and sell on the platform.”
