DHL and Magento partnership to help merchants "go global"

DHL is to partner with Magento, the cloud digital commerce innovation specialist, as its ‘Premier Partner’ for Shipping.

Magento's Premier designation recognises "global leaders" and brings close collaboration in key categories of interest to e-commerce merchants.

Online retailers connected with the Magento platform will be able to select from a range of DHL shipping services, with the partnership expected to expand over time to include an increasing portfolio of parcel, express, freight and other logistics services provided by the different DHL divisions.

“Magento connects merchants and shoppers. DHL connects shoppers with their goods," said John Pearson, CEO Europe and Global Head of Commercial, DHL Express.

“Our collaboration will provide Magento merchants with industry-leading international shipping and value-added shipping features from DHL that easily and flexibly connect shoppers with their goods.”

DHL’s divisions together comprise the most international company in the world, present in 220 countries and territories, allowing online merchants to leverage the Group's unsurpassed global reach to execute their e-commerce strategy.

“Commerce is no longer just about the "buy button" and our merchants are looking to meet their customers when and wherever they want to engage, buy, and receive their purchases,” said Mark Lenhard, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Growth at Magento Commerce.

“By partnering with DHL, our joint merchants will be able to offer improved customer experiences and grow their business by providing their customers with the fast, convenient shipping options they expect.”

As a Premier Partner, DHL will connect with merchants through strategic placement on Magento properties and the core product merchant administration panel.

In addition, DHL will have the opportunity to educate merchants on shipping integration best practices and how to increase cross-border shipping via the Magento Community online, webinars, thought leadership pieces, events including Imagine and MagentoLive, and in one-to-one meetings.

DHL will also have early access to Magento product roadmaps so as to improve integrations and the merchant experience.
