Teapplix Announces Its Merchants Reaches $60 Million GMV in 2008


Integrated Web-Based Solution Automates Shipping Saving Merchants Time and Money

PALO ALTO, Calif. – January 8, 2009 – Silicon Valley startup Teapplix announced today that within one year of launching its innovative web-based shipping and email automation service, its merchants has exceeded $60 million in annual gross merchandise value.

“Teapplix has proven to be a disruptive shipping automation technology", said Xudong Yan, founder of Teapplix. "Being the only fully web-based shipping platform for online merchants, Teapplix frees merchants from having to do shipping, customer service and order management from one central location. In addition, merchants no longer need to constantly patch their software and perform other time-consuming backups and network management functions."

Teapplix has fully modernized the shipping automation software industry formerly served by desktop tools dating back from the 1990s. Teapplix's innovative "remember weight & dimension" feature handily cuts a merchant's daily shipping label creation time to 20 minutes or less.

"Our success is due to the fact that Teapplix is a very good piece of technology based on years of shipping experience in Silicon Valley," says Xudong. "Customers have validated this by converting to Teapplix in droves."

Teapplix Announces Support of Amazon Seller Central

Teapplix Announces Support of Amazon Seller Central


We have recently introduced support for Amazon Seller Central for Teapplix. Now you can download orders from Amazon, print labels just like how you do it for your eBay / website orders, and upload ship confirmation status back to Amazon.
For details on how to use our Amazon feature, please click on "Quick Start Guides" -> "Amazon Howto" within your Teapplix account. If you do not currently have an Teapplix account, you can register for a free trial here.
Teapplix integrates with Amazon in 2 ways. If your seller central account has XML API access, Teapplix uses XML SOAP API to download your open orders and upload ship confirmation. This can be done at a frequency as fast as every 15 minutes so you can ship your orders as soon as they come in from Amazon.
For accounts without XML API access, Teapplix can import your daily scheduled order report, or your "unshipped items report". In addition, Teapplix creates ship confirmation report for you to upload back to Amazon.
Each Teapplix account can support one Amazon Seller Central account. Pricing for an Amazon account is the same as an extra Ebay account.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
