PayHelm Acquires ShipSaver
In 2021, PayHelm acquired ShipSaver, a shipping insurance service built by the team behind inkFrog. The acquisition brought ShipSaver's shipping protection tools under the PayHelm roof, adding a new layer of coverage for sellers shipping orders across multiple channels.
Why ShipSaver Fit PayHelm's Roadmap
PayHelm's platform has always centered on giving multi-channel sellers a clearer, more complete view of their business — from marketplace and storefront data to advertising and fulfillment. Shipping is one of the last steps in that journey, and it is also one of the riskiest: packages get lost, damaged, or stolen in transit, and resolving those claims can eat up a seller's time. ShipSaver's focus on straightforward, affordable shipping insurance made it a natural extension of the tools PayHelm sellers already relied on.
ShipSaver's Roots at inkFrog
ShipSaver originated from the team behind inkFrog, a well-known name in the ecommerce listing and automation space. That background gave ShipSaver a head start in understanding the day-to-day realities of high-volume sellers, and it shaped a product built to be simple to enable and easy to trust when a claim needed to be filed.
What the Acquisition Meant for Sellers
Bringing ShipSaver into PayHelm meant sellers could pair shipping protection with the analytics and reporting they were already using to run their business, rather than managing coverage through a separate, disconnected tool. It also set the stage for the deeper shipping-related integrations PayHelm has continued to build since, including its ShipSurance coverage options.
Continuing to Build for Sellers
The ShipSaver acquisition reflects a pattern that has carried through PayHelm's history: rather than asking sellers to stitch together point solutions, PayHelm looks for ways to bring the tools that matter — insurance, attribution, reporting — into one connected platform.
