ShipEngine's easy-to-use REST API lets you manage all of your shipping needs without worrying about the complexities of different carrier APIs and protocols. We handle all the heavy lifting so you can focus on providing a first-class shipping experience for your customers at the best possible prices.
Each of ShipEngine's features can be used by itself or in conjunction with each other to build powerful shipping functionality into your application or service.
No matter your shipping volume, failed deliveries and address change surcharges cut into your bottom line and damage perception with customers. Our address validation services ensure your packages make it to the right place the first time. Learn how to leverage our address validation services here.
ShipEngine supports address validation for virtually every country on Earth, including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Israel, Italy, and over 160 others.

Webhooks are a powerful feature of ShipEngine that can save you from sending repeated polling requests to check on the state of something. With webhooks, ShipEngine will automatically contact your servers when the state changes. This can include parcel tracking events, notification of the completion of a batch operation, or new sales orders.
