Rate Services

Overview

Our Rate Services API gives you real-time shipping quotes for your Shipwire orders.

Our rating engine automatically optimizes rates, selecting the best warehouse and packing configuration for orders and returning a list of available service options and prices.

Information available from the Rate Services API includes:

  • Best shipping quotes for each available shipping service level
  • Delivery date range estimates
