Hi, Shan from Shippo here! We power applications like this by helping them connect to multiple shipping carriers from one API to compare rates, print labels, track shipments etc. Through the combined volume we get through the platform we also help businesses get volume discounts from carriers.

Is the Shippo API powering this Shyp app?

For this new product, no. We use a ton of different technologies to make different parts of our business work. We prefer to focus on solving consumer + smb pain points vs owning the entire stack ourselves.
