Composable Commerce: A Guide to Upgrade Your Shipping APIs With Micro Services Architecture

Introduction:

Navigating the logistics of e-commerce delivery expectations and shipping costs can be daunting for brands and retailers. Many of the retailers have adopted this route, however, direct carrier API integrations, while seemingly straightforward, often become cumbersome to manage and update. 

FenixCommerce offers a powerful alternative with its single point carrier API supporting over 100 global carriers, exemplified by our recent upgrade from SOAP to REST APIs for FedEx, ensuring the most current and efficient carrier data utilization. FenixCommerce APIs are built using micro-services, composable commerce architecture framework that allows retailers to easily upgrade their current tech stack without necessarily ripping out and replacing existing tech stack.

Leadings brands of today like Bombas, Gorjana, Men's Wearhouse, and SwimOutlet leverage FenixCommerce to elevate their customer experience from pre-purchase on their eCommerce site to provide delivery visibility to post-purchase delivery to provide proactive delivery alerts and notifications to their customers eliminating customer contacts and removing a major chunk of painful work for your customer support team, a testament to the solution's efficacy.
