In a move set to transform Nigeria’s e-commerce, Bumpa has partnered with logistics aggregator Shipbubble to solve one of the most challenging aspects of selling online: delivery. For the first time, customers shopping on Bumpa stores can choose their preferred delivery company, compare prices and timelines, see estimated arrival dates, track their orders directly on the merchant’s website, and automatically receive updates all without the merchant lifting a finger.
The integration, which is live across Bumpa’s platform serving over 60,000 Nigerian businesses, addresses one of the biggest pain points in Nigerian e-commerce: limited and expensive delivery options that often lead to cart abandonment.
“We’ve all been there. You find something you want to buy online, get to checkout, and the only delivery option costs too much, or takes too long,” said Kelvin Umechukwu, CEO of Bumpa, on the integration. “Nigerian consumers are tired of having no choice in how their orders get delivered or even having visibility into tracking the location of their items. This integration changes that forever, while also reducing the stress of dealing with logistics for the business owner, even as they work hard to grow their business.”
The partnership connects Bumpa merchants to Shipbubble’s network of over 40 logistics partners, including DHL, UPS, SpeedAF, Sendstack, GIG, Topship, and FEZ. From a merchant’s Bumpa website, customers can now:
- Compare delivery prices in real-time from multiple companies
- Choose delivery speed based on their urgency and budget
- Select trusted brands they prefer for their deliveries
- See transparent pricing with no hidden fees
- Track their orders on the website
“Nigerian consumers are smart shoppers,” explains Umechukwu. “They want options. Before this integration, merchants had to pick one logistics company, set the price based on the projected delivery rate to location clusters, not considering the weight of the items, and hope customers would accept it. Now customers decide for themselves.”
For the thousands of businesses using Bumpa, the integration eliminates a major operational headache while boosting sales and requires zero technical know-how from merchants. Orders placed on Bumpa stores automatically sync with Shipbubble, where merchants can manage all deliveries from a single dashboard, regardless of which logistics company the customer chose. This integration is coming at the right time, ahead of Black Friday and of Year-End Sales
Speaking on the integration, the CEO of Shipbubble, Jordan Ajibola said, “Our partnership with Bumpa marks a significant step forward for Nigerian e-commerce. By connecting merchants to our 50+ logistics partners and automating the entire post-purchase experience from delivery choice to real-time tracking, we’re not just improving delivery, we’re improving trust in online shopping. Merchants can now focus on growing their businesses, knowing that their customers will enjoy a smoother, more reliable experience from the moment they click ‘buy’ to when their package arrives.”
The system also provides automated updates to customers regardless of which logistics company is handling their delivery, maintaining consistent communication throughout the delivery process.
The integration represents a significant step forward for Nigerian e-commerce infrastructure. By giving customers delivery choice at the point of purchase, it addresses a key barrier to online shopping growth in Nigeria.
