Give your online store customers the option to choose the pickup point that best suits them – easily and reliably. Posti’s Pickup Point API integrates all our pickup locations directly into your webshop, always with up-to-date information.

The Pickup Point API operates reliably 24/7 and scales flexibly during seasonal peaks. It’s easy to implement, and in the future, the API will also support displaying accurate delivery time estimates at pickup points – a feature highly appreciated by online shoppers.

Pickup Point API has replaced our previously offered Location Service.
