Fulfillment Packet Builder with Proof-of-Shipping
The Opportunity
An app that lets merchants attach packing photos, videos, files, and tracking URLs directly to orders before or after fulfillment. It reduces disputes by making shipping proof easy to store and share with customers or support teams.
"Merchants manually send shipping photos and tracking details, making dispute resolution and proof collection time-consuming and error-prone."
