The Problem

E-commerce stores hardcode shipping rates. When carrier prices change, checkout breaks, and you lose sales to cart abandonment.

The Solution

SheetAPI makes shipping rates dynamic. Update your spreadsheet when carriers change prices, and checkout displays accurate rates instantly.

1

Set Up Your Google Sheet

Create a spreadsheet with columns like: Zone, Weight Range, Carrier, Rate, Delivery Days, Dimensional Factor, Surcharges

2

Connect to SheetAPI.pro

Sign up (takes 10 seconds), authorize Google, and paste your sheet URL. Done.

3

Start Using Your API

Get instant REST API endpoints to create, read, update, and delete your dynamic shipping rate calculator data.

Code Examples

Here's how simple it is to work with your dynamic shipping rate calculator data:

Fetch All Records

# Using cURL curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID
// Using JavaScript (fetch) const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID', { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' } }); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); // Your dynamic shipping rate calculator records

Create a New Record

# Using cURL curl -X POST \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"Zone":"VALUE1","Weight Range":"VALUE2"}' \ https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID
// Using JavaScript (fetch) const newRecord = { 'Zone': 'Sample value', 'Weight Range': 'Another value' }; const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify(newRecord) });

Update a Record

// Update by row ID const response = await fetch('https://api.sheetapi.pro/v1/YOUR_SHEET_ID/ROW_ID', { method: 'PATCH', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ 'Status': 'Updated' }) });
