What is the Shopify + Borderfree integration

International growth usually breaks down at checkout. Customers abandon carts when duties and taxes show up late, shipping options feel unclear, or the order gets stuck in customs with support tickets bouncing between carriers and your team. The Shopify – Borderfree integration connects your store with Borderfree’s cross-border commerce and logistics layer, so international checkout can present landed cost, local currency, and available delivery options while Borderfree takes on customs processing and global fulfillment handoff for eligible orders. This setup fits if you sell cross-border at meaningful volume and want a Borderfree-powered international checkout flow without rebuilding your Shopify store.

How the Shopify Borderfree integration works technically

• Shopify order data is transmitted to Borderfree for orders routed to the international checkout flow, including customer, ship-to, line items, and declared values.

• SKU, price, weight, and origin-related attributes are mapped to Borderfree to support duties, taxes, and landed cost calculations at checkout.

• Currency and locale signals from Shopify are passed to Borderfree so localized totals and available shipping methods can be returned per destination.

• Borderfree returns calculated charges, delivery options, and cross-border eligibility decisions that are applied to the in-checkout totals for the shopper.

• Post-purchase, Borderfree generates customs documentation and logistics references, and shipment and tracking identifiers are associated back to the Shopify order.

• Status changes such as fulfillment, shipment, and delivery events are synchronized from Borderfree to Shopify, with exceptions and validation errors logged for review.
