Concepts
Core logistics concepts and the domain model before you integrate.
Orders
Submit orders, check status, and download packing instructions.
Webhooks
Receive real-time event notifications in your system.
Units of Measure

API Base URLs¶
Use the base URL that matches your environment:
|
Environment |
Base URL |
Portal |
|---|---|---|
|
Production |

|
Sandbox |

Important
Onboarding must be completed before creating orders. Supplier, consignee, items, boxes, pallets, and packing specifications must be configured in the ALPHA Portal. Contact your point of contact if anything is missing.
Note
Use Sandbox for testing. It mirrors Production but uses separate data. Switch to Production when ready to create live orders.
