Introduction
Welcome to 4D Shipping SDK, the most comprehensive suite of components for shipping, tracking, label creation, rate calculation, and address verification! The included components allow for easy integration with shipping services of major international carriers including FedEx, UPS, USPS, and Canada Post.
Once the components are integrated into your application, you can communicate with the servers over a secure SSL connection.
Before using these components, the user must contact the specified provider to obtain access to that provider's OnLine Tools.
Each request requires specific processing based on the type; therefore, each component has a unique URL for connection purposes.
