Shipping and receipt options in an online shop
API interface Shipping options

Anchor Navigation

Many customers appreciate having their parcels delivered in a way that suits their needs. Be it very quickly, not at their own address or at a certain time. This is why you should automatically show your customers in your online offer which services are available at their address and at the time of the order: delivery within a time slot? Saturday delivery? Or even same-day delivery?
