Create a Warehouse

warning

Multiple Warehouse Warning

When calling this endpoint, we do not match this to a previous warehouse. We allow you to create duplicates; however, if you create a shipment without a warehouse_id we will match the warehouse to the first match in the database.

Warehouses have many uses, they're necessary for manifests and also necessary if you would like to provide a different return address for a returns department that is in a different location.

Example

POST /v1/warehouses

curl -iX POST https://api.shipengine.com/v1/warehouses \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'API-Key: __YOUR_API_KEY_HERE__' \
-d '
