Real-time shipping rates,
zero complexity.
ShipRateAPI connects your Shopify, Magento 2, or BigCommerce store to live carrier rates in minutes. Flexible zone rules, schedule-aware caching, and a powerful API — built for developers and agencies.
Trusted by developers at
ShipRateAPI powers shipping rates for stores and agencies on the platforms you already work with.
Everything you need to deliver great shipping UX
ShipRateAPI handles the complexity of multi-carrier rate retrieval so your store can focus on selling, not shipping logic.
Live Carrier Rates
Fetch real-time rates from multiple carriers and surface the best options to your customers at checkout — no stale flat-rate guesswork.
Zone-Based Routing
Define precise shipping zones per store. Combine postcode ranges, countries, and regions with per-zone carrier and markup rules.
Schedule-Aware Caching
Intelligently cache rates by zone and carrier. Cache windows respect cut-off schedules so customers always see accurate delivery windows.
Powerful rate rules, no code required
Configure carrier markups, minimum charges, weight-based brackets, and free-shipping thresholds directly in the admin portal — no deployments needed. Rules stack in priority order and can be overridden per zone.
- Per-carrier markup, flat-rate, and free-shipping rules
- Weight unit conversion handled automatically (kg / lb)
- Test any quote live before pushing to production
Manage multiple stores from one account
Agencies and multi-brand merchants can connect unlimited stores under a single ShipRateAPI account. Each store gets its own API key, carriers, zones, and rate rules — fully isolated but centrally managed.
- Separate API keys and carrier credentials per store
- 30-day quote log with request & response inspection
- Coverage scanner to spot unrouted destinations instantly
Up and running in three steps
ShipRateAPI is designed for developers — a clean REST API, comprehensive docs, and native plugins mean you spend time on your store, not on shipping plumbing.
Connect your store
Add a store in the admin portal and copy the generated API key into your platform plugin. Works with Shopify, Magento 2, and BigCommerce out of the box.
Configure zones & carriers
Define your shipping zones, attach carriers, and set markup rules. The visual Rate Flow editor shows exactly which zone a destination matches.
Go live in minutes
Use the Test Quote tool to verify rates before enabling on your store. Once you're happy, flip the toggle — live rates start flowing immediately.
Native integrations for the platforms you sell on

What developers say about ShipRateAPI
From freelance Shopify developers to agencies running dozens of stores — ShipRateAPI earns trust by staying simple.
Jamie Clarke
Lead Developer, Folio Commerce“We migrated three Magento 2 stores to ShipRateAPI in a single afternoon. The zone configuration is the clearest I've seen — no ambiguity about which rule fires.”
Priya Nair
E-Commerce Manager, Urban Thread“The quote log is a lifesaver. When a customer complained about an unexpected shipping cost I could pull up the exact request and response in seconds.”
Tom Weston
Shopify Developer, Freelance“I charge clients to set up ShipRateAPI now — it's that simple to configure. The test quote tool alone saves me hours of back-and-forth before go-live.”
Sarah Oduya
CTO, Dispatch Labs“Schedule-aware caching was the feature that sold us. Our warehouse closes at 2 pm — ShipRateAPI automatically adjusts next-day delivery availability. Brilliant.”
Marcus Bell
Solutions Architect, Platform & Co.“Managing 20+ client stores from one portal without any credential leakage between them is exactly what an agency needs. ShipRateAPI nails the multi-tenancy.”
Anya Peters
Senior Engineer, Nordic Goods“The REST API is clean, the OpenAPI spec is accurate, and the bearer-token flow is straightforward. Rare to find a SaaS product where the docs actually match reality.”
