Typical integration flow

  1. Call Calculate Pricing to quote a shipment before checkout.

  2. (Optional) Use Get Pricing Categories / Get Pricing Items if offering value-based pricing (insurance/declared value tiers) instead of weight-based.

  3. On order confirmation, call Create Shipment (weight-based or value-based) to register the shipment and get a tracking number.

  4. Use Track Shipment to let customers check delivery status without authentication.
