What the Evri API gives you

Evri's API creates shipments, generates labels, returns tracking events and handles returns. Connected to your shop or platform, despatch runs from the order itself, with nothing to copy into the Evri portal. See the Evri API integration guide.

Who it's for

  • WooCommerce shops Weight, address and parcel value come from the order, the label prints, and the tracking number goes into the despatch email. See Evri and WooCommerce.
  • Custom platforms A bespoke shop or order system with no Evri plugin. The integration hooks into your own order events.
  • Shops that want branded tracking Evri's tracking on your own site, with despatched, out for delivery, delivered and missed delivery messages sent automatically. See Evri tracking integration.
  • Clothing and high-return products QR code returns at Evri ParcelShops, with no printing at home, make returns easier for your customers.
  • Shops using more than one carrier Evri for standard delivery alongside DPD or Royal Mail, with the carrier chosen automatically on every order. See Evri vs DPD.

Why custom rather than a plugin

Evri plugins offer a fixed service or a dropdown and produce PDF labels. A custom build chooses the service by your rules, prints straight to a thermal printer, supports QR code returns and can route between carriers.

How it's built

  • Shipments created from the order Weight, address, parcel value and the customer's chosen service come from the order, the label is created, and the tracking number goes into the despatch email automatically.
  • Label approval handled Evri asks to see test labels printed from a new integration before it goes live. I prepare and submit them, and deal with any changes Evri asks for.
  • Parcels within Evri's limits Evri has size and weight limits for each service. Orders outside them are flagged at the point of sale or routed to another carrier, rather than turned away at collection.
  • Returns made easy Returns can be set up with a QR code that the customer shows at an Evri ParcelShop, so they don't need a printer. For shops with lots of returns, such as clothing, that's a real difference in customer experience.
  • Tracking on your own site Evri's tracking events are pulled in and shown on your site, with despatched, out for delivery, delivered and missed delivery messages sent automatically.

What's included

  • Built and tested in Evri's sandbox before going live
  • Test labels prepared and submitted to Evri for approval
  • Clear handling of address failures, weight limits and Evri being down
  • A handover document, and the code is yours

Not included: your Evri business account and API credentials, Evri's per-parcel rates, and printer hardware.

Payment is 50% to start and the balance on completion. For what drives the price, read what an Evri integration costs.

Guides

Questions

How do I get Evri API access?

Ask your Evri account manager. API access needs an Evri corporate business account that meets their volume threshold, and they issue sandbox and live credentials. Start it as soon as you decide to go ahead.

What's the test label approval?

Before going live, Evri asks for test labels made with their own list of addresses, and checks them. It usually takes a few days to a week. The build carries on in the sandbox meanwhile, so it only affects the go-live date.

Can I offer QR code returns?

Yes. Customers drop the parcel at an Evri ParcelShop and scan a code, with no label to print. It needs extra credentials from Evri, so ask for them at the same time. Without them, normal returns labels are used.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes, it's the most common build. Orders trigger the shipment, the label prints, and the tracking number and despatch email go out automatically.

Are Evri's shipping rates included?

No. You agree per-parcel rates with Evri directly. The build price covers the integration only.

How long does a build take?

Standard takes 3–5 days, platform integration about a week and multi-carrier about two weeks. The go-live date also depends on Evri approving the test labels.
