Shipping API

Shipping API for businesses – one integration for multiple carriers

With Shiplink's API you build shipping directly into your own system. Book shipments, create shipping labels and receive tracking events from more than 10 carriers – via a REST API with webhooks.

One API instead of one integration per carrier

Instead of building and maintaining connections to each carrier, you use one API. You also get our pre-negotiated shipping agreements and personal customer service.

Booking

Book shipping via API

Send in shipment data and book with the carrier that suits, at prices under our pre-negotiated shipping agreements.

Labels

Labels and shipping documents

Shipping labels and shipping documents are created automatically for the selected carrier when the shipment is booked.

Events

Tracking with webhooks

With webhooks your system is notified when the status of a shipment changes, so you can keep customers and colleagues informed.

DHL, Bring, UPS and more in the same API

Through one and the same API you reach more than 10 carriers and over 100 shipping services for parcels, pallets and general cargo – within Sweden and internationally.

REST API and webhooks for custom connections

The API suits you if you have your own business system, warehouse system or platform. If you run a standard online store, there is often a ready-made integration that is easier to get started with.

What you need to know about a shipping API

A shipping API lets your own system book transports, create shipping labels and track shipments without manual work. Here we go through what a shipping API is, when it suits better than a ready-made integration and what you can do with Shiplink's API.

What is a shipping API?

A shipping API is an interface that lets two systems talk to each other. Your business system, warehouse system or own platform sends shipment data to the API and gets back a booking confirmation, shipping label and tracking number. This way shipping can be booked automatically, directly from the system you already work in.

API integration or ready-made integration?

A ready-made integration is the fastest way to get started if you use a common e-commerce platform or business system. An API integration suits you when you have your own system, special flows or want to control exactly which data is sent and when. It requires some development but gives the greatest flexibility.

One API for multiple carriers

Many developers look for a DHL API, Bring API or UPS API to connect to one carrier at a time. Each carrier then has its own API, its own agreements and its own label formats. With a shared shipping API like Shiplink's, you reach more than 10 carriers through the same connection and avoid maintaining one integration per carrier.

What can you do with Shiplink's API?

Via the API you can book shipments with more than 10 carriers, get shipping labels and shipping documents for the selected carrier and track your shipments. You get prices under our pre-negotiated shipping agreements, and our customer service helps you when something deviates during transport.

Webhooks for tracking

With webhooks your system doesn't need to keep asking for status. Instead, a message is sent when something happens to the shipment. This makes it easy to update orders, inform customers and act quickly on deviations.
