Integrate with the Swap Shipping API

🟡 Medium

Your WMS or label printer doesn't have a plug-and-play integration with Swap yet.

Use plug-and-play Swap integration

🟢 Low

Your WMS or label printer already has a plug-and-play integration with Swap.


Fallback options

If you can't use a plug-and-play integration or build your own integration to the Swap Shipping API, you may be able to use Webhooks or the Swap Values API, but these come with limitations and should be considered fallback solutions.


Getting set up

Once you've identified the right option, your Swap implementation manager will guide you through onboarding. For technical questions or to scope a custom integration, contact your account team.

To explore the API directly, see the Swap developer documentation.
