If you’ve ever used G2Mint and wondered how it’s able to pull in real-time shipping rates, track packages automatically, or retrieve shipping documents without you lifting a finger, the answer lies in something called an API connection.
An API (short for “Application Programming Interface”) is a secure digital link that lets different software systems talk to each other. In our case, G2Mint uses APIs to connect directly with major shipping carriers. This allows us to access the carrier’s data—like rates, tracking info, and required documents—in real time.
The best part? You don’t need to know how APIs work to benefit from them. These behind-the-scenes connections are what make your shipping process faster, more accurate, and a whole lot easier. No manual lookups, no switching between systems—just everything you need, right where you need it.
So while you may never see an API in action, you’ll definitely feel the difference it makes. To learn more about how easily we can integrate API’s into your business, contact us!
