If you build and maintain fashion webshops, Forwarding is the one integration where every Forward is net-positive from the very first one. Aggregate savings ramp across a 90-day window and reach benchmark by month 3, which gives you a reason to have a conversation about sustainable commerce.
New revenue stream for your agency
Recurring revenue share on every Forward, not a one-time implementation fee.
Easy to sell
ROI is immediate and calculable. The savings conversation is short.
Your clients save from the first Forward
Live from day one. Every Forward cuts warehouse cost and CO₂.
Why agencies recommend Forwarding
Revenue share on every Forward
Agencies earn a revenue share on the per-Forward fee for clients they bring to the platform. Recurring revenue (not a one-time implementation fee) for as long as the client is live.
Fast to implement
Supported platforms (Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, Salesforce CC) integrate via plugin in days, not weeks. You bill implementation hours. We handle platform maintenance and updates.
Immediate, visible ROI for your client
The savings per Forward are immediate and measurable. You can show your client a dashboard with Forwards completed, money saved, and CO₂ avoided. It makes your work visible and defensible.
A sustainability story that is real
Every Forward generates verified CO₂ savings data, ISO-standard and applicable in CSRD reporting. You give your client something they can put in a sustainability report, not just a green badge on their website.
How it works for agencies
1
Register as an agency partner
Contact us and we formalise the partnership. You get access to our partner documentation, sandbox environment, and a dedicated contact at IGF. No upfront cost, no exclusivity requirement.
2
Identify a client and scope the integration
You know your client's stack. We know the integration. Together we scope what is needed: typically a plugin install and configuration for supported platforms, or API integration for custom stacks. We provide technical scoping support at no charge for partner agencies.
3
Implement and go live
You handle the implementation, billed at your standard agency rates. We support you technically throughout: documentation, sandbox testing, and a dedicated implementation call. Most supported-platform integrations are complete in under a week of development time.
4
Earn recurring revenue
Once your client is live, you earn a revenue share on every successful Forward, indefinitely, for as long as they are a client. No cap, no cliff. The more your client Forwards, the more you earn.

How to introduce Forwarding to a client
The conversation does not need to start with returns. It usually starts with one of these:
"Your returns are costing you more than you think."
Use the savings calculator to run their numbers before the meeting. Show them what 43% adoption at their return volume looks like in euros per year. The number is usually larger than they expect.
"CSRD reporting is now in force. Here is one thing you can measure."
Since 2024, mid-sized companies must report on environmental footprint. Forwarding generates per-transaction CO₂ data, ISO-standard and auditable. It is one of the few things you can offer that produces real compliance data.
"eBay just picked Forwarding as their pitching-contest winner. The industry is moving."
Name recognition matters in client conversations. eBay selecting Forwarding as their pitching-contest winner (pilot scoping in progress) is a signal that peer-to-peer return forwarding is becoming mainstream, not a niche experiment.
We are formalising agency partnerships and are pleased to work with Bluebird Day, among others. If you want to be among the first agencies to offer Forwarding to your clients, now is the right time: you get early access, closer support, and a better revenue share than later partners will.
