Deliveries

The new API v1.0 allows you to create deliveries through a unique endpoint. See also different ways you can connect our service to your internal systems.
Create a new delivery
In order to create a new delivery, you can either select a quote after requesting the available ones (check here to know more) in the time window that better fits your needs, or send a direct request to the following endpoint to create a new delivery in the next hour available. If you have a preset and arranged pricing agreed in a contract, this endpoint will calculate the price based on the rules negotiated.
