Courier API Integration

Hi guys,

All shipping/courier companies here in UAE doesn’t have a plugin for wix, and rather sending me this thing called “API”, I tried looking up what this means, I got an idea but doesn’t know how it works exactly.

Please enlighten me about how to integrate this to my website.

Thank you.

Kind Regards

Hey John,

In very simple terms - one can use an API to access data that is provided by the owner of the API.

In this case, a shipping company can provide you their API, using which you might be able to track the order status and other details, depending on what type of data they’re providing with their API.

Such API’s generally need an API key to authenticate communication, and will require custom code if you want to integrate it in your site.
