Any eCommerce shipping software depends on the integration with shopping carts and marketplaces. Without that, such systems can’t carry out their essential functions that require the ability to manage the information from online stores. For shipping solutions, it is vital to work with all needed data connected with orders, products, customers, shipments, etc.
More and more eCommerce shipping software providers are trying to find a way to connect their systems with various shopping platforms with minimum effort. Why is it so important? It’s because shopping cart integration requires a considerable amount of money and time. Each connection with the eCommerce platform requires a few weeks of developers’ work, whose average monthly salary around the world ranges from $2000 to $6000. Moreover, it is tough to find a highly qualified API integration specialist.
So, what is the easiest and cheapest way to integrate shipping solutions with dozens of eCommerce platforms quickly? The best option is to use a unified API provided by API2Cart.
