DHL
eCommerce, a division of the world's leading logistics company, Deutsche Post
DHL Group, is working with Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform, to enable
Singapore-based merchants to easily ship to their customers worldwide through a
seamless plugin on a single platform. All new Singapore-based businesses built
with Shopify will also enjoy special promotions for cross border shipping with
DHL. Currently over 60% of Singapore-based merchants sell and ship their
products internationally through the Shopify platform, and with the
cross-border e-commerce opportunity continuing to grow, the DHL eCommerce
plugin will make it even easier for merchants to ship their goods
internationally.

"Cross border e-commerce continues to
grow exponentially and this is apparent from the borderless buying behavior of online
shoppers. 70% of online buyers made a purchase from a foreign site in 2017, up
6% from the year before and this trend is expected to continue.

To
deliver to buyers across borders, sellers need simple and seamless shipping
solutions to manage their orders and deliver to their customers worldwide. By
building tools for global shippers on Shopify, we're making it easy to satisfy
this exact requirement," said Senthil Kumar, Managing Director, DHL eCommerce
Singapore.

Integrating different online systems can be complex,
especially for sellers who sell online across multiple sales channels. By
hosting their e-commerce stores on platforms such as Shopify, sellers have
access to a wide array of plugins to connect the dots from click to delivery.

Improved visibility in delivery helps to greatly enhance the
entire customer experience. With DHL eCommerce shipping plugin available on
Shopify, shippers can easily ship internationally by processing shipments on a
single platform, from printing labels to generating tracking reference codes to
enable shipment visibility for their customers -- virtually automating the
shipping process.

"Shopify understands the dynamics of e-commerce, where
requirements of sellers and buyers are evolving faster than ever. To ensure our
merchants are keeping pace, we are working with DHL, a key driver of the global
e-commerce ecosystem. The DHL eCommerce plugin, combined with the special rates
for new Shopify merchants, will help retailers and brands on our platform ship
with ease so they can devote more time to selling," said Arun Verma, Country
Manager, Shopify Singapore.

DHL eCommerce is part of Deutsche
Post DHL Group and, along with its sister divisions DHL Express, DHL Supply
Chain and DHL Global Forwarding, DHL has been operating in Singapore since 1970,
offering end-to-end solutions for the e-commerce sector.
