We are excited to share with you that we have recently launched Gokada’s API Integration. The Gokada API is the first of many solutions from Gokada Business, to facilitate the seamless management of deliveries. It allows you to create orders, estimate delivery prices through your own website or e-commerce platform.

But what exactly is an API? And how can this solution help your delivery operations?

Technically, API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. This means that by integrating Gokada API, you will allow your system to send us delivery information automatically through your own system or platform, without you having to place an order one by one through the app. The process will remain simple, trackable, and even faster.

After integrating Gokada API, you will be able to add credit to your digital wallet and start placing your orders. Once your parcel is delivered, we will send the payment straight from your digital wallet to the pilot, ensuring the process occurs smoothly.

It is important to consider that by integrating with Gokada API, you are also able to improve your customer experience, through fast, efficient and safe delivery.

Remember, happy customers always return!
