The ShipEngine Advanced Plan includes a set number of monthly API calls included with the subscription fee.
For example, if you choose the Advanced 1K tier, you will receive up to 1000 of each of the following functions included with your subscription fee (one call per function for up to 1000 labels).
-
Create label
-
Import order
-
Rate shopping
-
US Address validation
-
Parcel tracking
-
Search Pick-Up, Drop-Off points
If you reach any of these limits before the end of the month, you won't be blocked from making more calls. An overage fee per call will be applied to your monthly billing statement.
Each additional label you request also includes a free request to any functions listed above. You will only pay for overages if you go above your limit of your label requests.
Certain functions are not included with every label purchase or in your monthly limit and will incur a usage fee with each call. Those functions are:
-
Estimate taxes & duties
-
Global Address validation
-
Less-Than-Truckload
Pricing & Currency Equivalents
These tables include the standard USD rates alongside conversions for GBP (£) and EUR (€).
Currency conversions for overage fees are typically calculated based on the exchange rate at the time of billing, but are represented here as direct equivalents for plan clarity.
The Advanced 1K plan is tailored for growing businesses, providing a 1,000 shipment monthly baseline with tiered overage fees for volume exceeding the limit.
The Advanced 5K plan supports mid-sized operations with a larger shipment ceiling and reduced overage costs to accommodate scaling fulfillment needs.
The Advanced 10K plan offers the highest standard volume allotment and the most competitive per-shipment overage rates for high-volume enterprise retailers.
