eCommerce API

The eCommerce API can be used to integrate your Shopping Cart, ERP, or Accounting Solution into eCommerce Webship.

The API supports two methods for communicating with outside applications:

Outside applications can query data from and push data into eCommerce Webship via the Rest API.
eCommerce Webship can read data from and push data into outside applications via the Webhooks Integration.

Rest API

The Rest API allows outside applications to query data from and push data into eCommerce Webship.

Use the Rest API when:

You want to push orders into eCommerce Webship from your application
You want to pull shipments out of eCommerce Webship into your application
You want to query for live shipping quotes to be displayed during the checkout process of your custom shopping cart

eCommerce Webship can read order information from and push shipment information to outside applications via the Webhooks Integration.

Use the Webhooks Integration when:

You want eCommerce Webship to pull orders from your application when they are ready to ship
You want eCommerce Webship to push tracking numbers back to your application when orders have been shipped
