ABOUT THIS COURSE

Shippo is a shipment management platform to create, track, and bill shipping on a wide array of carriers. The Shippo API allows e-commerce merchants to integrate these shipping functions directly into digital storefronts, creating a seamless customer experience. This course is an introduction to the Shippo API and its endpoints. You’ll start with the authentication for your application using Shippo’s developer environment before moving onto requesting and generating shipping data. You’ll create the details of your shipment with address and parcel data. You’ll also learn to integrate Shippo’s various carrier partners (UPS, DHL, FedEx, and more). Then, you’ll generate a rate quote and process the transaction to generate shipping details so a package can be tracked. You’ll wrap up by building a completely functional web application in Django. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to create customized shipping options in any e-commerce environment using the Shippo API.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
