Request

Bodyapplication/jsonrequired
transaction_typestringrequired

The type of update to perform: increment: Add inventory to a location. decrement: Remove inventory from a location given a set of filters. Either all of the inventory will be removed (204 response), or none of it will (400 response with reason). adjust: Adjust on hand quantity of inventory in a location to the quantity specified. This is done by either adding or removing inventory in the condition specified. modify: Modify attributes on a set of inventory. The filters work the same as for decrement transaction type.

Labels

Purchase and print shipping labels for any carrier active on your account. The labels endpoint also supports creating return labels, voiding labels, and getting label details like tracking.

Operations

Manifests

A manifest is a document that provides a list of the day's shipments. It typically contains a barcode that allows the pickup driver to scan a single document to register all shipments, rather than scanning each shipment individually.

Operations

Package Pickups

Scheduled pickups and manage pickup requests for supported carriers.

Operations

Package Types

Create custom package types to use for your shipments, rather than the carriers' default package types.

Operations

Rates

Quickly compare rates using the Rates endpoint. You can see and compare rates for the carriers connected to your account (as long as they support sending rates).

Operations

Shipments

Shipments are at the core of most ShipStation capabilities. Shipment objects are required for cretaing labels and manifests, as well as getting rates.

Operations

Tags

Tags are text-based identifiers you can add to shipments to help in your shipment management workflows.

Operations

Tracking

Use the tracking endpoint to stop receiving tracking updates (more dedicated tracking endpoint methods coming soon).

Operations

Warehouses

Get warehouse details like warehouse ID and related addresses using the warehouses endpoint.

Operations

Webhooks

Webhooks are a powerful feature that can save you from sending repeated polling requests to check on the state of something. With webhooks, ShipStation will automatically contact your servers when the stage changes. This can include parcel tracking events, notification when a batch operation completes, and more.
