The Shipping API
If you would like to integrate your own systems directly with Shipping Manager then our API is for you. This means that you can obtain details about all the services we offer, generate quotes, place bookings and more all without ever having to log into Shipping Manager. The possibilities are endless - whether you want to integrate our API with your own shopping cart, start selling parcel delivery services through your website or even if you have another idea then this is the place to start.

We have tried to make our API as simple to understand as possible. For more information click the appropriate link below. If you have any questions then please contact technical@shippingmanager.co.uk. The API is relatively new so if you have any suggestions for improvement then we would be very happy to hear them.

Technical Summary

  • Create an account with Shipping Manager
  • Obtain your API Key
