Pickup/Drop-Off Locations

Our API allows you to find nearby pickup or drop-off (PUDO) locations for carriers based on the location and distance.

Overview

These requests allow you to get pickup and drop-off locations from carriers through a proximity-based search with a single HTTPS request and is typically used during checkout and the returns process to provide location options.

You can retrieve location information through these APIs using a unique identifier and allow customers to choose a convenient location before a shipping label is generated.
