BigCommerce fulfillment for brands ready to stop packing orders themselves.

Connect your BigCommerce store, send your inventory to our Austin warehouse, and we pick, pack and ship every order. Tracking numbers sync back to the BigCommerce order. Pricing starts at $7/order.

Yes, Simpl ships BigCommerce orders.

Simpl Fulfillment is a 3PL with a native BigCommerce integration. Orders come in from your store, we pick, pack and ship them from Austin with UPS, USPS or FedEx, and the tracking number syncs back to the order in BigCommerce. Pricing starts at $7/order. There's a $750/month minimum, billed pay-the-difference: if a month's order billing comes in under $750, you pay only the gap. That's about 100 shipments at the lightest weight (0.5 lb or less). Every client gets a dedicated account manager, reachable by email with same-day responses.

How it works

How the BigCommerce integration works

STEP 01

Connect your BigCommerce store

Orders reach Simpl through our native BigCommerce integration. Onboarding takes 5–7 days, and there's no onboarding fee.

STEP 02

Send your inventory to Austin

Ship your stock to our Austin warehouse. We receive it within 1–3 days, and from then on you have real-time inventory visibility. If you sell kits, we can put them together under our Kitting and Assembly service.

STEP 03

We pick, pack and ship. Tracking syncs back.

Orders received before 12pm CT ship the same day with UPS, USPS or FedEx. The tracking number syncs back to the order in BigCommerce. Any shipping email your customer gets comes from your store's own BigCommerce notification settings, not from Simpl.

The decision sellers face

What changes when Simpl ships your BigCommerce orders

Your store stays on BigCommerce, and the order work moves to our Austin warehouse.

What you stop doing

Packing orders and buying postage. Your per-order rate covers pick, pack, postage and packaging, and every shipment gets a UPS, USPS or FedEx tracking number.

What it costs

Pricing starts at $7/order. Storage is billed by the space your products take up: small bin, large bin, shelf or pallet. The $750/month minimum is pay-the-difference, so in a slow month you pay only the gap. There's no onboarding fee.

What you still do

Run your BigCommerce store and your marketing, and send us more inventory when you restock. Questions go to your dedicated account manager by email, with same-day responses on business days.

Switching from packing it yourself

Onboarding takes 5–7 days. Once your inventory reaches Austin, we receive it within 1–3 days, and orders received before 12pm CT ship the same day from then on.

What do I still do myself?
You keep running the store, including products, pricing and marketing, and you send us inventory when you restock. Picking, packing and shipping move to Simpl, and your account manager is reachable by email with same-day responses if something needs attention.
I pack orders myself right now. What changes day to day?
You stop packing. Orders from your BigCommerce store come to our Austin warehouse through the integration, orders received before 12pm CT ship the same day with UPS, USPS or FedEx, and the tracking number syncs back to the order in BigCommerce. You watch stock levels through real-time inventory visibility and restock when they run low.
Do my customers still get shipping emails from my BigCommerce store?
Simpl doesn't send shipping emails. When an order ships, the tracking number syncs back to the order in BigCommerce, and any shipping email your customer gets comes from your store's own BigCommerce notification settings.
What happens if an order ships wrong?
Simpl's order accuracy is 99.99%. When we do get one wrong, we fix it at our cost, covering the return shipping and sending the correct order.
How do returns work?
Every Simpl client gets a branded returns portal, and Returns Management is one of our standard services. Mention your typical return volume when you request a quote.
Do you handle wholesale orders too?
Yes. B2B Wholesale Fulfillment is one of Simpl's services, so if you sell wholesale alongside your BigCommerce store, bring it up when you request a quote. Our B2B fulfillment page has the details.
How is a 3PL like Simpl different from BigCommerce's own tools, Amazon MCF, or ShipStation?
BigCommerce runs your storefront and checkout. To get orders packed and shipped, you pack them yourself or connect a fulfillment service; BigCommerce's 2021 announcement of its Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment integration presented MCF as one of those options. With MCF you send inventory to Amazon's fulfillment centers, and Amazon says it packs those orders in unbranded packaging by default. ShipStation is shipping software: it compares carrier rates and buys and prints labels, but you or a warehouse still pack each box. Simpl stores your inventory in Austin and picks, packs and ships your BigCommerce orders through a native integration.
