What is Voila and Why Do We Use It?

Explains what Voila is, why shipments are routed through it instead of directly to carriers, and the key benefits it provides around duties, taxes, and compliance.

Voila is a shipping integration platform owned by Dispatch Cloud. It sits between merchant order systems and carriers (e.g. FedEx) to enrich shipment data before a label is generated.

Why shipments go through Voila instead of directly to a carrier:

  • Adjusts product prices for duty and tax-inclusive (DDP) pricing, preventing merchants from being overcharged by carriers

  • Enables B2B transfer of customs (B2B2C) shipments

  • Controls commercial invoice content and customs descriptions for compliance

  • Protects merchant profit margins

Merchants interact with Voila through tools like the Orders Hub or their WMS (e.g. Mintsoft, PeopleVox). They do not connect directly to Voila themselves.
