Shipway
India-first ecommerce shipping aggregator that connects D2C sellers to 50+ courier partners with AI carrier allocation, RTO reduction, and post-purchase tracking.
Source-checked profile5 sources
FTS verdict
Strong fit for India-based D2C and ecommerce sellers who want to consolidate multiple Indian couriers (Delhivery, Bluedart, Xpressbees, Ekart, Ecom Express, DTDC) under one panel and cut RTO with COD verification and NDR automation. Pricing is INR wallet-recharge and usage-based, which is convenient for Indian operators but means there is no clean published per-tier table — confirm your weight-slab and zone rates with their rate calculator or sales before committing. Caveat: it is a courier aggregator, not a global multi-region shipping carrier, so it is less relevant for sellers shipping primarily outside India.

Pricing caveat and source trail
Pricing and free-plan claims can change. FTS keeps source URLs visible so users can verify before buying.
Pricing is INR, wallet-/usage-based rather than fixed subscription tiers. The official site advertises free signup, shipping rates "starting at ₹19/500 gms," and a ₹1,000 minimum wallet recharge (with a promo of ₹1,700 credit on first ₹1,000 recharge via code NEW700). Verified June 2026 from shipway.com. Exact per-shipment rates vary by weight slab, courier, and delivery zone and are not published as a single tier table; third-party listings (G2/SaaSworthy) cite per-shipment figures like $0.75–$3.00 but these are unverified and inconsistent with the site — confirm actual rates via Shipway's shipping cost calculator (https://www.shipway.com/shipping-cost-calculator) or sales.
