Quotes

Quotes are shipping options with different prices depending on the promise of time to deliver. Prices may differ depending on the area/city .
You can choose from 3 types of Quotes that depend on each city. If you are a company with less than 100 deliveries a day, you are most likely to use these available fares to create a delivery in our system.
Note: There are fares previously arranged with certain companies that will be generated automatically when a delivery is created using this endpoint . Learn more about contracts and covenants with companies that have specific operation rules and volume contacting to our team at http://shippify.co

Types of Quotes

There are 3 types of Quotations you can choose that will have different prices, pickup and delivery scheduled times.
  • Express (Deliver under 3 hours)
  • Scheduled time slots (Time windows during the day)
  • Flex (Collect in the morning, deliver in the afternoon)
If you want to see how this is currently working you can login in our dashboard and follow the steps here.
This is a UI example of how we use QUOTES to show to every user in our system. You can do your own implementation in your e-commerce or mobile commerce.
