How do ShipNetwork’s Partner and Custom API integrations work?

ShipNetwork offers both Partner API and Custom API integration options to connect your eCommerce business directly to our fulfillment network. These integration paths are designed to support a seamless data flow for orders, inventory, tracking, and returns, helping automate fulfillment operations and reduce manual tasks.

The Partner API provides a flip-switch connection to many of the most popular eCommerce platforms. This includes platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magento. These prebuilt connectors allow you to start syncing orders and inventory within a matter of hours, making it ideal for brands that want a fast and reliable setup with minimal development work.

For more complex needs, ShipNetwork’s Custom API offers complete flexibility to integrate with proprietary platforms, ERP systems, or unique business applications. With this option, developers can tailor how data is exchanged, map custom fields, and build logic to fit specific fulfillment workflows. Whether you need multi-warehouse routing, dynamic shipping rules, or real-time inventory adjustments, the custom integration supports those advanced use cases.

Both API options support secure data exchange, real-time syncing, and webhook notifications. This ensures that every part of the fulfillment process is connected and automated, from order placement to final delivery and return processing. Full API documentation, code samples, and integration support are provided to help your technical team or agency implement the solution quickly and effectively.

By offering both plug-and-play and custom integration options, ShipNetwork makes it easy for businesses of any size or tech stack to streamline operations and scale with confidence.
