Why people use ShipEngine

ShipEngine Logistics Automation for E-commerce

With this Connector, you just tell your agent what to do. You can ask it to find the cheapest way to ship a 5lb box to New York and it will do the comparison for you. Then, you can tell it to just create the label. It handles the data flow between your order and the carrier, so you don't have to touch a single shipping portal.

Before you connect

Questions about ShipEngine.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can ShipEngine help me find the cheapest shipping rates?

Yes, it can. Your agent will pull real-time pricing from all your connected carriers to find the best deal for each specific package.

How does ShipEngine handle address errors?

It validates addresses automatically. This means your agent can check if a customer's info is correct before you pay for a label, saving you from failed deliveries.

Can I use ShipEngine to manage my carrier balances?

You can. Your agent can check your balances and add funds to your carrier accounts directly through the chat to keep your shipping moving.

Does ShipEngine work for international shipping?

Yes, it supports both domestic and international address validation and rate shopping across multiple carriers.

Can my agent create pickup manifests for me?

It can. You can ask your agent to generate SCAN forms or other carrier manifests to get your daily pickups organized quickly.

What happens if I need to cancel a label?

You can just tell your agent to void the label. It will handle the cancellation in ShipEngine so you don't have to log into a dashboard.

Can I validate multiple addresses at once to avoid shipping surcharges?

Yes! Use the validate_addresses capability. You can provide an array of address objects, and the agent will return validation results for up to 250 addresses in a single request.

How does the AI choose the best shipping rate for me?

You can use the create_label_rate_shopper capability with a specific strategy: 'cheapest', 'fastest', or 'best_value'. The agent will automatically compare rates across your carriers and purchase the label that fits your criteria.

Can I track a package if I only have the tracking number and carrier code?

Absolutely. Use the track_package capability by providing the carrier_code (e.g., 'ups', 'fedex') and the tracking_number. The agent will retrieve the latest status and location updates.
