Case Study: Sea Shepherd Conservation Society achieves scalable nonprofit ecommerce growth with AmeriCommerce

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society - Customer Case Study

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, working with Nonprofit Business Solutions (NBS), faced a logistics challenge as online demand surged after increased visibility from “Whale Wars.” Their existing facilities and small staff were not set up to manage pick-and-pack, order fulfillment, or growing ecommerce operations, so they turned to AmeriCommerce to support their store, shop.seashepherd.org.

Using AmeriCommerce’s multistore ecommerce platform, NBS centralized store management, fulfillment, international shipping, multiple currencies, and multilingual support across many nonprofit stores. With AmeriCommerce, Sea Shepherd grew annual online sales from $200,000 to more than $2 million, while a custom fraud-prevention feature helped avoid over $146,000 in fraudulent orders and a donation tool drove a 398% increase in donor conversions for one nonprofit client.
