Deep discounts and one-day shipping to the U.S. to help spur Canadian online retailers into international markets
TORONTO, June 12, 2019 /CNW/ - In a significant move that will help boost cross-border trade, PayPal Canada launched a new solution that offers small businesses up to 75 per centi in shipping discounts. Additional features include a one-day shipping service to the U.S.ii, tracking links on every parcel and an integrated platform where online sellers can import their orders from popular marketplaces to arrange shipment.
High shipping costs and a lack of efficient shipping options have long held back Canadian business owners from selling internationally. Despite the fact that Canada currently has 14 trade agreements with countries around the world, only 12 per cent of small and medium businesses take advantage of these opportunities.iii Some of the greatest international growth opportunities are in the U.S., Canada's largest export market, where businesses can send goods valued up to $800 free of tax, duties and brokerage fees.iv
"Small businesses need access to better shipping solutions that open them up to global customers," said Paul Parisi, PayPal Canada president. "With this launch, we're looking to enable more exports and help small businesses become far more competitive in today's global economy."
In addition to deep discounts, there are a number of beneficial features of this new service:
Michael E., owner of HockeyAuthentic.com, has been in business for 28 years, selling authentic, licensed NHL jerseys. He said he's now saving up to $1,000 a month thanks to this shipping solution.
Michael said offering one-day shipping to the U.S. has also made his hockey-loving customers very happy.
"Thousands of times we've next-day delivered a hockey jersey to a fan in the U.S. or Canada going to a game that night. This absolutely blows away our customers with that kind of delivery speed."
Shipping through PayPal is available now to all our Canadian customers. For more information, visit http://paypal.ca/shipping.
