MBE eShip: Connect Your Online Shop Directly to Your MBE Center
Every order your online shop receives creates work. Someone has to print a label, pack the parcel, choose a carrier and answer the customer who wants to know where it is. MBE eShip removes that manual work. It’s a free integration that links your shop to the systems of your local MBE Center in Austria. When an order comes in, the shipping data reaches us automatically, and our team takes the parcel from there.
Why Online Shops in Austria Use MBE eShip
Growing an online shop usually makes shipping harder. Packing a few parcels a day is manageable at the start. As order volume rises, dispatch eats into the time you need for product sourcing, marketing and customer service. Errors creep in too, and customers notice them quickly.
MBE eShip lets you hand that workload to a local partner without changing anything your customers see. Orders keep arriving through your shop as usual. Behind the scenes, they go straight to your MBE Center for fulfillment.
What Is MBE eShip?
MBE eShip is software that connects your e-commerce platform to MBE’s shipping systems. The plugin is free to download and install. You pay only for the shipments you send, at the rates you agree with your MBE Center.
After a short setup, order data moves automatically between your shop and MBE, including recipient details, parcel information and tracking codes. At checkout, your customers can choose from the shipping options and service levels you decide to offer.
To use eShip, you need an MBE account. Your local MBE Center sets it up and gives you everything you need to get started.
What Your MBE Center Takes Care Of
eShip is the digital link. The real value comes from the people and services behind it. Once your shop is connected, your MBE Center can handle the full chain of e-commerce logistics for your online shop:
- Storage: Keep your stock at a local MBE Center with our warehousing and storage solutions, with no need to invest in warehouse space of your own.
- Picking and packing: Our team picks each order accurately and prepares it with our professional packaging service.
- Shipping documents: Labels are generated in the system, and we support customs paperwork for destinations outside the EU.
- Carrier selection: Through MBE’s multi-carrier network, we choose the service that best fits each shipment’s destination, size and deadline.
- Tracking: Tracking codes return to your shop automatically, so your customers can follow their parcel.
- Returns: Returned items come back to your MBE Center, where they’re inspected and logged, then handled according to the process you’ve agreed with us.
From Checkout to Doorstep: How It Works
1
A customer places an order
Your shop records the purchase, and eShip passes the shipping details to your MBE Center automatically. There’s no need for emails, spreadsheets or copy-pasting.
2
We pick and pack
Your MBE Center takes the items from storage and packs them securely for the journey.
3
We prepare the paperwork
Shipping labels and any required documents are created in the system.
4
The parcel leaves with the right carrier
We hand the parcel to the carrier best suited to the route, whether it’s going across Austria, within the EU or further afield with our worldwide shipping service.
5
Tracking reaches your shop
The tracking code flows back to your shop, so you and your customer can see where the order is at any time.
6
Returns are handled locally
If a customer sends something back, your MBE Center receives it, checks it and follows the process you’ve agreed in advance: restock it, dispose of it or return it to your supplier.
Which eShip Setup Is Right for Your Shop?
eShip plugin for a single online shop
If you sell through one shop built on PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Shopify or a similar platform, the eShip plugin installs directly into your shop system. You can then configure it to match your shipping rules and the delivery options you want to offer at checkout.
Woocommerce
Shopify
Prestashop
eShip Web for multiple shops and marketplaces
If you run more than one shop, or also sell on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay, eShip Web brings all your channels into a single browser-based application. It connects to more than 25 marketplaces and shop systems, and there’s nothing to install on your side. eShip Web picks up incoming orders and sends tracking numbers back to each channel. You can also connect your shop directly through an API if you need a custom setup.
Not ready for an integration yet?
You can still outsource fulfillment to MBE by sending orders by email or through OnlineMBE. eShip becomes the natural next step once your order volume makes automation worthwhile.
