Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface – a standardized method enabling different software systems to communicate and exchange data automatically without manual intervention. REST APIs power automated integration between eCommerce platforms and delivery management systems, enabling order information to flow seamlessly from customer purchase to courier systems. The Frozen Food Courier provides REST API endpoints enabling merchants to automatically submit delivery work orders when customers place frozen food orders online, retrieve delivery status updates, access temperature compliance documentation, and integrate cold chain logistics into eCommerce workflows. REST APIs use standard HTTP protocols, JSON data format, and authentication methods, making them accessible to developers across platforms (WooCommerce, Shopify, Wix, custom systems). For merchants, REST API integration eliminates manual order entry, reduces errors from data transcription, accelerates delivery fulfillment, and provides customers with immediate delivery tracking capability. REST API availability distinguishes professional courier services offering true automation integration from basic providers requiring manual order placement through customer portals.
