World Options launches new ecommerce plug-in for Wix websites

Accrington-headquartered World Options has launched a new plug-in allowing customers to integrate its shipping portal into Wix ecommerce stores.

The new plug-in follows existing integrations including Shopify, Woocommerce, Magento, Ebay and Etsy, and sits within the Wix shop management platform, allowing shop owners and managers to compare quotes from the leading carriers, and to send and track shipments, with customer service provided by a dedicated account manager.

The plug-in is also designed to reduce the time it takes for shop managers to generate a shipment, with automated shipping label and commercial invoice creation.

World Options IT supervisor Mitchell Hutchison said: “When shipping parcels worldwide, ecommerce shop managers can be confounded by the number of options available and can often stick to one courier service, even though that might not be the best option for every package they send.

“World Options offers customers the opportunity to ship domestically and internationally with the likes of DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT and more. We help businesses choose the right option for every shipment, and our bulk-buying power means customers pay a competitive price for their shipping, whether that be for parcels, pallets, freight transport, documents or imports, either nationally or internationally.

“Crucially, we also help with paperwork to help minimise the risk of delays with customs when shipping to different territories overseas, so we are proud to now be able to provide that functionality to Wix customers with the launch of this plug-in.

Part of MBE Worldwide, World Options is the largest retail group of franchised shipping services companies in the UK.

In 2023, MBE Worldwide served over one million business customers worldwide through its multi-brand operations (Mail Boxes Etc. [except in the US and Canada], PrestaShop, PostNet, PACK & SEND, Spedingo.com, AlphaGraphics, Multicopy, Print Speak, GEL Proximity and World Options), generating €1.4 billion.
