The USPS tracking API on Ship24 is a tool that provides real-time tracking information for packages shipped via USPS. It helps businesses keep their customers informed about shipment statuses from dispatch to delivery.

Benefits of Using USPS Tracking API

  • Keeping customers informed about their shipment status is important. With the USPS Tracking API, real-time updates are readily available, enhancing the customer experience and reducing the number of "Where is my package?" inquiries.

  • Integrating the USPS Tracking API with your existing systems is simple. Whether you're using an eCommerce platform or a custom solution, the API fits right in, allowing you to automate the tracking process without any difficulties.

  • From the moment a package is shipped to its final destination, the USPS Tracking API provides detailed tracking information. This includes timestamps, location updates, and delivery confirmations, giving you and your customers peace of mind.

How to Integrate USPS Tracking API with Ship24

To integrate Ship24's tracking API to track USPS parcels, you will need to create an account on Ship24 or log in to one if you already have one. After that, go to the tracking API page, which can be found here.

The next step would be to click on "Get More". You will be directed to another page where you can choose between our two plans, "per-call" and "per-shipment". We recommend going for the "per-shipment" plan as it offers more benefits such as having extensive features, low cost, and it transmits information quicker. You can also choose both if you want to try both of them. You are given 10 free trials for tracking your shipment upon subscribing to a plan.

After choosing a plan, head over to the dashboard and there should be documentation for the next steps. The process should only take a few minutes. If you have any concerns or issues integrating Ship24's tracking API, don't hesitate to contact our support team and we'll be happy to assist you.

USPS Tracking API Not Showing Updates

If there are no tracking updates regarding your USPS package, it could generally mean that the package has not been handed to the courier or has not been registered yet. Ship24 automatically updates the tracking if there are any events that occur. In this case, wait for at least 24 to 48 hours before trying to track again.

If there are still no updates from the tracking API, then the problem is with the courier. Contact USPS customer care service regarding this matter.

Common Use Cases for USPS Tracking API

  1. eCommerce Platforms: eCommerce businesses can benefit significantly from the USPS Tracking API. Providing real-time tracking updates to customers enhances their shopping experience and builds trust.

  2. Logistics Companies: For logistics companies managing multiple shipments, the USPS Tracking API offers a centralized solution to monitor all packages efficiently. This reduces manual tracking efforts and streamlines operations.

  3. Retail Businesses: Retailers with both online and offline stores can use the USPS Tracking API to manage their shipping processes better. Real-time updates ensure that store inventory is always accurate, helping with stock management.

USPS Shipment Tracking API Notifications

Whether you are using the "per-call" or "per-shipment" Ship24 USPS package tracking API, you will still receive 100 per cent of all notifications that occur during your parcels journey, whenever you need them. The only difference is that with the per-call plan, you will need to notify us by calling for the information in order to receive it.

Whenever you call, we will still be able to deliver the latest status and locational information relevant to your parcel, this tracking model simply suits other businesses better. On the other hand, some businesses prefer the per-shipment tracking API, which will automatically deliver notifications directly to your server as they happen.

When choosing the per-shipment plan, you can also choose the option of our Shipment Tracking Dashboard which is a great complementary to the tracking API plan because it will quickly allow you to add and monitor your shipments as well as give you a better experience when tracking your shipments.

Moreover, you can also get tracking information when you integrate our FedEx tracking API, DHL tracking API, UPS tracking API, and thousands of other globally known couriers which are supported by Ship24.

Ship24’s tracking API is a all-in-one tracking solution for your business.
