Environments

Eurosender provides two distinct environments to support development, testing, and live operations:

Sandbox Environment

The Sandbox environment is designed for testing and development purposes. It replicates the behavior of the Production system, allowing you to safely simulate API calls without affecting real data or triggering actual transactions.

Production Environment

The Production environment is the live system used for processing real orders and transactions. Only deploy to this environment once your integration has been thoroughly tested in the Sandbox.

⚠️ Important: Always validate your integration in the Sandbox environment before switching to Production to ensure stability and minimize the risk of errors.

OpenAPI Documentation

For comprehensive and detailed information about our API—including, data schemas, authentication methods, and more—please consult our official OpenAPI documentation.

Payment Methods

Flexible Payment Options for Your Business

Eurosender’s API supports efficient payment methods tailored for business needs — whether you're processing high shipment volumes or require post-delivery invoicing.

Available Payment Methods

User Credit

Use pre-paid credit from your Eurosender account to pay for shipments instantly. This method is ideal for frequent shippers and simplifies reconciliation for your finance team.

Deferred Payment

Get billed after the shipment is completed. This is useful for businesses that need post-service invoicing or want to consolidate multiple orders into one invoice.

Currency Support

All API transactions are processed in EUR. Support for other currencies is not available at this time.

Authentication

To use the Eurosender API, you’ll need an active Business Account. Access is provided upon request and managed by our technical team. Once approved, you’ll receive an email from the sandbox environment with a link to reset your password. After completing this step, you’ll be able to create your x-api-key and start testing and integrating without delay.

Authentication Method:

All API requests must include an authentication token in the form of an x-api-key, passed in the request header.

  • Sandbox API Key:

Generated directly within the sandbox dashboard and valid only for the sandbox environment.

  • Production API Key:

Issued upon production access approval and used exclusively for live API operations.

⚠️ Important: Sandbox and production API keys are environment-specific and not interchangeable.
