ShipBlink for Shopify & BigCommerce
Provide Amazon-like Shipping Experience to Shoppers!
Solo-founded and bootstrapped ShipBlink to USD 7-figure revenue at >95% profit margin, acquired by EasyPost in Feb'2024.
ShipBlink simplified e-commerce shipping for platform merchants - spanning the full shopper lifecycle from pre-order to post-order. Built delivery estimation at checkout, automated label generation, rate shopping, and post-purchase tracking to help merchants boost conversion and cut shipping ops overhead for DTC brands.
Today morning I received the notification from the BigC team that the App was approved after the edits they requested. Not the best experience, since it took BigC about ~3-4 weeks to go live. Seems like they don't really care about Technical Partners unlike Shopify -- First red flag BUT I finally have a live App!!
Thought about what could be the fastest way to explore the BigC platform.
Having extensive experience with EasyPost, I thought Integrating BigC & EasyPost would be the fastest way for me
Since shipping app is the basic necessity for any Ecomm store - This might have a faster feedback loop
It took 8-9 days, but I'm finally done building the minimum viable product for ShipBlink. I worked mostly nights and weekends, and I coded the whole thing in Django/DRF, VueJS/Vuetify since that's what I'm the most comfortable with. In hindsight, there were a few features I built that probably could've waited until later. But I'm excited to start talking to customers and see what they think about the product so far!
