Typical use cases
The easybill Connect API (formerly “Import Manager API”) opens up many possibilities for you – even without in-depth technical knowledge:
- Connect your ERP system: Automatically transfer your orders from Amazon, eBay & Co. into your existing system – without manual copying.
- Automatically inform suppliers: Your shipping partner automatically receives the order data and reports back tracking numbers – these are then forwarded directly to the marketplaces.
- Create your own analyses: Pull order data into your own reporting tool and keep track of all channels.
- Integrate shipping software: Use your preferred shipping solution and automatically report created shipments back.
Two versions – different strengths
The easybill Connect API is available in two versions that complement each other:
| Function | API v1 | API v2 (beta) |
|---|---|---|
| Retrieve single order |  | |
| List orders with filters | x | |
| Create tracking/shipment | | |
| Export tracking to marketplaces | | |
| Supported shipping carriers | DHL, DPD, GLS | Any |
| Create orders via CSV | | x |
| Create/delete products | | x |
| Authentication | API key | API key or Basic Auth |
Recommendation:
- Retrieve orders with filters? → API v2
- Tracking with any carriers? → API v2
- Import orders via CSV? → API v1
- Manage products? → API v1
Both APIs can be used in parallel.
Automatically report shipment tracking
Report tracking numbers via the API and easybill Connect takes care of exporting them to the marketplaces:
- Supported carriers: DHL, DPD, GLS (v1) or any carriers (v2)
- Automatic marketplace export: Tracking is exported to Amazon, eBay, Otto, Kaufland, Shopify, and others
- Flexible timing: Immediate export or delayed at configurable times
- Carrier mapping: Automatic translation of carrier names for each marketplace
Ideal for fulfillment service providers and ERP systems that report shipping data back from their own systems.
