“Working with Lulu was a game-changer for my company! They integrate so smoothly with my personal Shopify store, and their customer support has been top-notch.”
— Katie Cross, Katie Cross Books
“Before switching to the Lulu API, I was spending 1–3 minutes per order manually entering customer details, addresses, and credit card info—one form at a time. Since moving to the Lulu API, it’s night and day: orders are automated, reliable, and take literally zero minutes of my time (and of my virtual assistant invoices)!”
— Marc Pittet, Mustachian Post
