About Shippo

Shippo is a multi-carrier shipping platform that helps ecommerce merchants compare rates, print labels, and track shipments across USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and dozens of other carriers. By connecting Shippo to OpenAgent, the AI agent can access live tracking data for every shipment created through your Shippo account. When customers ask about their package, OpenAgent queries Shippo for the current carrier scan events, delivery status, and any exceptions — giving a precise, up-to-date answer without needing a human to look anything up.

How it works together

Connect Shippo and OpenAgent gets the context and reach it needs to resolve more tickets automatically.

  • Authenticate with your Shippo API token
    Copy your Shippo API token from the developer settings in your Shippo dashboard and enter it in OpenAgent. The integration is live immediately, with access to all shipments in your account.
  • Retrieve tracking status for any shipment
    OpenAgent queries Shippo's Tracking API using the shipment's tracking number or order reference to retrieve the current delivery status, last scan location, and estimated delivery date.
  • Explain tracking events in plain language
    Shippo provides raw carrier scan events. OpenAgent translates these into clear, customer-friendly language — explaining what 'In Transit to Next Facility' means and when the package is expected.
  • Surface delivery exceptions proactively
    Set up Shippo tracking webhooks so OpenAgent is notified of exceptions — failed deliveries, address issues, or carrier holds — and can alert customers before they contact support.

Benefits

One integration, every carrier

Because Shippo normalizes tracking data across all carriers it supports, OpenAgent can answer tracking questions consistently regardless of which carrier shipped the order.

Faster resolution for the highest-volume ticket type

Shipment tracking questions dominate ecommerce support queues. With Shippo connected, OpenAgent resolves these automatically — keeping your human agents focused on complex issues.

Supports small and mid-size merchant workflows

Shippo is popular with growing merchants who manage their own shipping. OpenAgent's Shippo integration is straightforward to set up and immediately reduces support load without complex configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. OpenAgent only needs read access to tracking data. It does not create labels or access your Shippo shipping rates — only the tracking and order information needed for customer support.

OpenAgent uses the tracking number provided by the customer, or pulls it from the connected order management system (e.g., Shopify), and queries Shippo's tracking endpoint for the current status.

Yes. Whether the label was created for USPS, UPS, FedEx, or any other Shippo-supported carrier, OpenAgent queries the tracking status through Shippo's unified API.

OpenAgent informs the customer that tracking information is not yet available — which typically means the label was created but the package hasn't been scanned by the carrier yet — and advises them to check back.

Yes. The Shippo integration queries your Shippo account's shipments specifically. If you use a different shipping platform, consider the AfterShip or ShipStation integrations instead.
