CBX Carrier API
For platforms without a native plugin — or for a bespoke system — you can integrate directly with our hosted Carrier API from The Frozen Food Courier™. It is the same engine our CBX WooCommerce plugins use under the hood: you send us an order, we create the waybill and run the cold-chain delivery, and we send delivery-status updates back to you.
What it does
- Send a shipment — POST an order as a
shipment_requesttocarrier/v1/shipment. We rate it, service-check the address, and (when accepted) create a waybill. - Receive status back — as the delivery progresses (dispatched → scheduled → delivered), we call your endpoint with a signed webhook so your system stays in step.
Who it’s for
Shopify and Wix stores, custom carts, ERPs, or any system that can send an authenticated HTTPS request. If you run WooCommerce, you don’t need to touch the API — install the CBX Woo Shipping and CBX Woo Connector plugins and they use this API for you.
How it works
- Authenticate with an API key we issue you (sent as a Bearer token over HTTPS).
- Send the order as a
shipment_request(recipient, delivery address, items/weight, your order reference). You get back an accepted/held decision and, when accepted, a waybill. - Receive updates at your webhook endpoint — each signed so you can verify it came from us — keyed to your order reference.
Getting access
API access is enabled per merchant. Talk to us and we’ll issue your credentials and share the full request/response reference (OpenAPI) and the webhook contract. Already on WooCommerce? Start with the plugins instead — no code required.
