Frequently asked questions

Do you have a trial?
Accordion Toggle

Yes, we provide a 30-day trial of our sandbox environment. This provides you with an easy way to test our API using mock carrier accounts. Learn how all our endpoints work by downloading our POSTMAN collections here.

What is your free plan?
Accordion Toggle

The Free plan allows you subscription free access to ship using our discounted carriers on a pay as you ship basis. There’s no API usage charges and you can continue to use our sandbox environment past the 30 day trial totally free. To get unrestricted access to our API and to bring your own accounts you will need to upgrade to our Advanced plan.

What if I only need a specific service, like tracking?
Accordion Toggle

Our Advanced Plan is available with 1000, 5000 or 10,000 API calls per month to each of the following endpoints: order imports, create labels, track parcels, validate addresses, rate shopping and PUDO searches. Need more? You can pay for additional API usage on a PAY-AS-YOU-GO basis each month, or for volumes over 25,000 p/m please contact sales.

What happens if I exceed my monthly API limits?
Accordion Toggle

If you go beyond your allocated monthly API usage, an overage fee will apply. You can find the specific details of these charges HERE.
