About the Ship & Play service

What Ship & Play does

Ship & Play is a door-to-door shipping service for sports equipment and luggage — golf clubs, skis and snowboards, bikes, and bags. Travelers (or the businesses serving them) schedule a pickup at home, an office, a hotel, or a club, and Ship & Play handles carrier selection, labeling, insurance, and delivery to the destination on a chosen date. The result: people travel without lugging or checking oversized gear.

What the Partner API exposes

The Partner API is a deliberately small, stable REST surface over that service. It lets your product:

Quote — price and service levels for a route, ship date, and items.
Book — create a shipment; pickup, labels, and carriers are handled for you.
Track — the scan-by-scan delivery timeline.
Cancel — cancel a shipment before pickup.

Booking is asynchronous — an order returns immediately and resolves to confirmed once the shipment is created — so your checkout never blocks on logistics.

Access & environments

Partners authenticate with a per-partner API key carrying a defined scope; new accounts start in a sandbox with read-only access and synthetic data, then graduate to write and production access. Keys can be issued, rotated, and revoked from the portal. The full API reference is available to signed-in partners.
