 What is Senpex API?

Senpex’s RESTful API enables e-commerce platforms to automatically calculate delivery prices, schedule pickups, manage orders, and track shipments in real time. It supports urgent same‑day, scheduled, and multi‑stop deliveries—ideal for Shopify merchants aiming to enhance customer experience,boost sales and efficiency. The delivery API uses JSON, standard HTTP codes, and offers sandbox support so you can test safely.

Preparations and Requirements

To start using the Senpex API, first sign up at web.senpex.com. After registering, call 650-514-6350 to request approval from the Senpex support team. Once approved, you’ll get an email with a link to your API dashboard.

API for Delivery- Requirements:

  • You’ll need to add your credit card details in the API dashboard to activate the service.
     

  • By default, Senpex gives customers an instant delivery quote at checkout. However, you (the vendor) can set your own pricing model—Senpex does not control pricing.
     

  • You’ll receive client secret keys from Senpex to use the API. For security, you can re-generate these keys anytime.

Why Use Senpex API with Shopify?

Before diving into the technical steps, let’s understand why this integration can transform your Shopify business:

  • Real-time quotes: No more manual shipping rates. Customers instantly see delivery costs.
     

  • Same-day delivery: Stand out from competitors by offering fast delivery.
     

  • Order tracking: Customers can track their orders live, reducing support calls.
     

  • Automation: From scheduling to invoicing, everything runs seamlessly.

Step-by-Step Guide to Integrating Senpex API with Shopify

Now, let’s walk through the full integration process.

Step 1: Get API Access

  • Register your account on web.senpex.com.
     

  • Request approval from the support team at 650-514-6350.
     

  • Once approved, log in to your API dashboard and generate your API credentials (API key and client secret).
     

These credentials will be required for authentication when sending requests from your Shopify store.

Step 2: Review Senpex API Documentation

Before coding, familiarize yourself with the official API documentation:

The documentation outlines available endpoints such as:

  • /create-order – Place a new delivery request.
     

  • /get-quote – Retrieve real-time delivery quotes.
     

  • /track-order – Get live tracking status.
     

  • /cancel-order – Cancel a delivery.
     

Step 3: Create a Private Shopify App

To connect Shopify with Senpex API, you’ll need a private app (or a custom app if you’re on Shopify Plus).

  1. Go to Shopify Admin → Settings → Apps and Sales Channels.
     

  2. Click Develop apps.
     

  3. Create a new private app for your store.
     

  4. Assign the required permissions for order and shipping management.
     

This app will serve as the bridge between Shopify and Senpex API.

Step 4: Add Real-Time Delivery Quotes at Checkout

One of the most powerful features is showing Senpex delivery rates directly at checkout.

  • Use the /get-quote endpoint.
     

  • Send the package details (weight, dimensions, pickup, and drop-off address).
     

  • The API will return instant delivery pricing.
     

  • Display this rate as a shipping option in Shopify checkout.
