How it sells itself

BorderBuddy lets Shopify merchants offer Canadian shoppers prepaid duties, taxes, and shipping at checkout so the price they pay is the price they get. You generate UPS labels and commercial invoices in the app; BorderBuddy’s brokerage team handles the Canada customs entry (CARM). Built for US stores that want to sell into Canada without sending customers a surprise bill at the border.

Othermile checks every order that crosses between Canada and the US before you ship it. It works out duties, tariffs, sales tax and carrier fees from the official rules in force, compares mail, courier and duty paid shipping, and applies your limits. Orders that would cost your customer too much at the door, or cost you too much to ship, wait for your OK on your phone.

Key points
  • Low cost international shipping with customs duties and taxes. All fees included
  • No surprise billing, reconciling or carrier adjustment fees.
  • Print-ready shipping labels and commercial invoices automatically sent you.
  • Marked as Fulfilled - your orders are updated automatically once scanned by UPS.
  • Check every order for duties, taxes and fees before it ships
  • Hold orders that break your limits until you approve them on your phone
  • Compare mail, courier and duty paid shipping on each order
  • Show shoppers the duties and taxes due at delivery before they buy

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Nov 6, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
