REST API
JSON-based. API key auth. Rate limit, sandbox, OpenAPI spec.
E-commerce API
From Shopify to driver — no manual work
Shippers create shipments via API direct from their e-commerce backend. Auto pricing, label, barcode. Webhooks for every status change.
What you get
What you get
Create shipment
POST with address, weight, COD. Returns tracking number + label URL.
Price quote
GET with zone + weight → price. For display at checkout.
Webhook notifications
shipment.picked_up, .in_transit, .delivered, .failed. HTTPS endpoint. Retry with exponential backoff.

How it works
From integration to first shipment
Register shipper
Via portal. Contact info, pickup address, pricing.
Generate API key
Test + production key. Per-key permissions (read-only, full).
Integrate
With SDK (Node, Python, PHP) or direct HTTP. OpenAPI spec for code-gen.
Test + go live
Sandbox with real-data simulation. Switch to production with the same API key.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What address format is supported?
Structured (street, city, postal, country) or free-text. System geo-codes automatically (Google Maps API).
How many shipments per day?
Unlimited. Rate limit 10K req/min. Bulk import for 100K+ shipments.
Is there a Shopify plugin?
Yes — Merot Shipping app in the Shopify App Store. Auto-creates shipment on order completion.
How are bad addresses handled?
API returns validation error with suggested fixes. If shipment exists already → failed delivery with 'address not found'.
Can a shipment be cancelled?
Yes — until pickup. Cancellation after pickup is treated as a return with refund.
How realistic is sandbox?
1:1 — identical API surface, fake-data flow. Test shipments cycle through the full lifecycle (picked_up → in_transit → delivered).
