UPS integration via REST API
How UPS shipping works over the Europarcel REST API: live rates, booked shipments, label PDFs and tracking webhooks — and five more carriers behind the same endpoints.

The Europarcel REST API gives your developers UPS shipping as three plain HTTP calls: request live rates for a parcel, book the UPS shipment, download the label PDF — JSON in, JSON out, authenticated with an API key. Tracking events arrive as webhooks, so your shop, ERP or warehouse system stays in sync without polling UPS itself. You integrate once against our endpoints instead of maintaining a separate UPS connection.
UPS is what you plug in when an order absolutely has to arrive on a date: express services with money-back delivery commitments, next-working-day options across much of Europe, and a global network beyond it. In your API setup, that typically means offering UPS on premium, urgent or high-value orders while a road carrier covers the everyday ones.
Before you build a custom UPS connection for API, do the math on maintenance: carrier APIs change, label formats change, and a one-carrier setup locks every parcel to one price. Europarcel launches in Germany with ready-made integrations and live comparison across six carriers — from €4.99 domestic, €7.99 to the EU, insurance included.

Integration FAQs
?How do I integrate UPS via the Europarcel API?
Authenticate with your API key, request rates, book the shipment: UPS and five more carriers sit behind the same endpoints, so you write the integration once — no separate UPS contract and no carrier-specific code.
?What does UPS shipping via API cost?
The API integration itself is free — you only pay for the shipment. Europarcel prices start at €4.99 within Germany and €7.99 for Germany ↔ EU, insurance included. You compare UPS's live offer with five other carriers before every booking — no subscription.
?Can I create UPS labels through the API?
Yes — booking a shipment returns the UPS label PDF and the tracking number in the response, ready to print or forward to your warehouse.
?Do my customers get UPS tracking automatically?
Yes. The UPS tracking number comes back with the booking and every status change is pushed to your webhook endpoint, so your own system can notify customers. Every Europarcel shipment is also trackable on one unified tracking page — regardless of carrier.
?Can I use other carriers besides UPS over the same API?
That's the core of Europarcel: the same integration covers DHL, Hermes, DPD, GLS, UPS and FedEx. Every shipment picks the best offer — by price, speed or service — instead of being locked to one carrier.
