Frequently asked questions
--------------------------

##### Do you have a trial?

 ![Accordion Toggle](https://www.shipstation.com/wp-content/themes/shipstation-blocks/src/img/icons/chevron-down.svg)

Yes, we provide a 30-day trial of our sandbox environment. This provides you with an easy way to test our API using mock carrier accounts. Learn how all our endpoints work by downloading our POSTMAN collections here.

##### What is your free plan?

 ![Accordion Toggle](https://www.shipstation.com/wp-content/themes/shipstation-blocks/src/img/icons/chevron-down.svg)

The Free plan allows you subscription free access to ship using our discounted carriers. There’s no API usage charges and you can continue to use our sandbox environment past the 30 day trial totally free. To get unrestricted access to our API and to bring your own accounts you will need to upgrade to our Advanced plan.

##### What if I only need a specific service, like tracking?

 ![Accordion Toggle](https://www.shipstation.com/wp-content/themes/shipstation-blocks/src/img/icons/chevron-down.svg)

Our Advanced Plan is available with 1000, 5000 or 10,000 API calls per month to each of the following endpoints: order imports, create labels, track parcels, validate addresses, rate shopping and PUDO searches. Need more? You can pay for additional API usage on a PAY-AS-YOU-GO basis each month, or for volumes over 25,000 p/m please contact sales.

##### What happens if I exceed my monthly API limits?

 ![Accordion Toggle](https://www.shipstation.com/wp-content/themes/shipstation-blocks/src/img/icons/chevron-down.svg)

If you go beyond your allocated monthly API usage, an overage fee will apply. You can find the specific details of these charges HERE.

##### What carriers and order sources are supported by ShipStation API?
