Yodel shipping connection to your business
eCommerce businesses all around the UK use Yodel to provide fast and affordable deliveries of their products. Many UK companies find that connecting external courier software such as Yodel courier software management software to your website can be a real challenge, especially for SMEs and microbusinesses.
Couriers like Yodel use software known as APIs which facilitate data responses between their system and your eCommerce website. Unfortunately, enabling multiple shipping software to function correctly with your website is not straightforward – it can be expensive and time-consuming. API technology is useful because it allows your website to communicate with another company’s platform. But, eCommerce retailers who need to use more than one carrier (Yodel for UK deliveries and another carrier such as TNT or P2P for international deliveries) often discover they need to invest in API integration development. If that expertise is not available in-house, companies need to ask a web developer to build integration with each courier service website they use. The cost can quickly run into thousands of pounds and causes delays in allowing you to switch between services while retaining your online systems.
