Shipping API: build your own integration
A REST API for whatever you built yourself: request live rates from six carriers, book the shipment, get the label PDF back, receive tracking events as webhooks.

When no ready-made plugin fits — a custom shop, an in-house ERP, a warehouse system, a marketplace tool — the Europarcel REST API is the way in. It is deliberately small: authenticate with an API key, ask for live rates, book the shipment, download the label PDF, receive tracking events on your webhook endpoint. Six carriers sit behind the same JSON contract, so adding DHL, Hermes, DPD, GLS, UPS or FedEx to your product is a parameter, not a new integration project. Documentation, sandbox credentials and code examples are part of the launch.
Behind the API integration sits the full Europarcel platform: negotiated rates with DHL, Hermes, DPD, GLS, UPS and FedEx, door-to-door pickup at your address, insurance included on every shipment and one unified tracking page for all carriers. You pay per shipment — from €4.99 within Germany, €7.99 to the EU — with no subscription and no volume commitment, which makes it work for a side project and a warehouse alike.
The API integration goes live together with Europarcel's launch in Germany. Join the waitlist below and you'll be first in line: early access, launch offers, and a say in which features we prioritise. Until then, every page on this site works the same way — one email, and you're in.
