‘Roll Your Own’ Integration
Seamlessly integrate your existing website, e-commerce system or back-office software into Despatch Bay — saving you both time and money. The Despatch Bay API can automatically create labels as part of your checkout process, validate addresses and postcodes and can even provide you with a real-time list of available delivery options per postcode with costs.
However tightly you choose to integrate your website into Despatch Bay, we are here to assist your developers in the process. You can be confident that your labels will be automatically created for you in real-time, with no data input necessary. All you'll need to do is print them.

Shipping
Lets you look up available services at a given postcode, query the status of shipments, and add new labels to the print queue
Tracking

Check Out Our API Documentation
To access and manage your Despatch Bay account using the Despatch Bay API, you build a client application that connects to one or more of the provided web services. While each service can be used independently, most real-world scenarios (such as shipping parcels) require a client application to use multiple services.
