Sendbox API
Logistics & Delivery · eCommerce
Sendbox is a Nigerian-founded logistics aggregator platform that connects e-commerce merchants to multiple Nigerian courier carriers through a single unified API. Rather than requiring businesses to integrate with GIG Logistics, Red Star Express, Courier Plus, DHL, and other carriers separately, Sendbox provides a single integration point that enables merchants to compare rates across carriers, book the best option, generate waybills, and track all shipments from one dashboard and one API.
