ApiShip

What ApiShip does

ApiShip is a Moscow-headquartered unified delivery API platform, founded in 2015, that connects online retailers with 44+ last-mile delivery services through a single integration layer. The platform currently serves 18,732+ registered shops and transmits over 1.5 million orders per month, exposing endpoints for tariff calculation, address validation and standardization, shipment creation, tracking, and pickup-point selection. Its integration footprint spans major Russian carriers (CDEK, Russian Post, DPD Russia, Boxberry, Ozon Delivery, Yandex.Delivery, Dellin, PEC, 5Post, Cainiao) as well as the leading Russian e-commerce CMS/CRM systems (RetailCRM, 1C, InSales, AdvantShop, WooCommerce, OpenCart), reducing integration effort for merchants from N-point to one-point connectivity.

The company monetizes through a freemium, pay-per-order model: core integration is free, while premium features such as extended shipment information (2 RUB/order), third-party tracking (1 RUB/order), and tariff queries (0.01 RUB) are usage-priced, supplemented by partner referral commissions of up to 30%. Customer segments span online retailers of all sizes, aggregators and fulfillment operators, the delivery carriers themselves, developers and integrators, and — increasingly — financial organizations and data operators. Named customers include Book24, Uniqlo Russia, Vprok Perekrestok (X5 Group), Finn Flare, Technopark, Kari, Chitai-Gorod, Respublica, Philips Shop Russia, FM Logistic, RosTeleCom, Pochta Bank, HonOR Russia, and Mixit.

Recent product evolution includes the 2023 launch of Premium Service Options (formal monetization layer), the 2024 extension of the Tariff Editor and Analytics module, and the 2025 launch of ApiPoint — a pickup-point directory that extends the platform toward retailer website mapping. The company has also spun out ApiDQ, a sub-brand focused on data quality services, signaling an intent to monetize the address-quality expertise accumulated across eight years of integration work. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and operates with a seven-person team based in Moscow.

Direct peers

• Sendcloud: European multi-carrier shipping and returns platform serving 23,000+ e-commerce businesses. Directly comparable business model — unified integration to many carriers, marketplace modules, checkout/delivery options — but focused on EU markets.
• Shippo: Multi-carrier shipping API platform serving SMB and mid-market merchants with a freemium model. Closely comparable to ApiShip on product (unified API to many carriers), GTM (self-serve + marketplace modules), and pricing structure (free tier + usage-based).
• ParcelLab: European post-purchase experience platform providing shipment tracking, notifications, and carrier data unification. Comparable in solving the 'many carrier APIs' problem for retailers and monetizing through usage-based SaaS fees.
• Packlink: European shipping aggregator (Spain-headquartered, part of Packlink Shipping) connecting SMB merchants to multiple carriers via a single API/web interface. Similar freemium/usage-based model and SMB-focused GTM to ApiShip.
• ShipperHQ: Shipping rate-management and carrier-agnostic platform embedded in e-commerce platforms (Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce). Comparable to ApiShip's Tariff Editor and CMS/CRM module approach — distributing multi-carrier capabilities through commerce platform integrations.
• ShipStation: Multi-carrier shipping management platform owned by Stamps.com (Auctane). Comparable in serving online retailers needing to connect to many carriers with label printing, rate shopping, and order management — overlapping heavily with ApiShip's core feature set.
• AfterShip: Hong Kong-headquartered post-purchase shipment tracking and delivery management platform integrated with 900+ carriers globally. Comparable to ApiShip's tracking, label, and carrier-aggregation capabilities, with a broader international footprint.
• Metapack: UK-based delivery management platform acquired by Blue Yonder, providing carrier aggregation, label generation, and tracking APIs to enterprise retailers. Comparable in unifying multiple carrier integrations behind a single platform.
• EasyPost: US-based shipping API aggregator that connects merchants to 100+ carriers through a single integration. Directly comparable business model to ApiShip — both sell unified shipping APIs with usage-based pricing — but operating in North America and at larger scale.

Emerging players

• Yandex Delivery: Russian same-day and on-demand delivery service owned by Yandex, which also controls Boxberry. While currently a Core integration partner of ApiShip, Yandex Delivery is the most likely Russian player to build competing aggregator functionality given its carrier assets and merchant relationships.
