Bikeflights Expands Shipping Integration Options

March 19, 2025

New API Launched & Shopify App Now Available for Free, Public Download

PORTLAND, OR (March 19, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/  – Bikeflights, a bicycle shipping service trusted by riders worldwide, announced new options for shipping integrations to better serve bike industry businesses and their customers, including a new shipping API. The Bikeflights Bike Shipping Shopify app, is also now publicly available for bike shops and bike brands to download for free from Shopify’s app store.

“Now there are even more ways to ship with Bikeflights and enjoy the seamless shipping experience that we offer,” said Bikeflights President William Alcorn. “Our new integrations are sweet. Whether you choose to use our new API or our Shopify app, it’s faster and easier to offer Bikeflights’ managed shipping services through your own website.”

The new Bikeflights API makes it more efficient for outside developers to connect to Bikeflights’ global shipping platform because there are now fewer endpoints that return more info, thereby cutting down on the time it takes to integrate and create custom user experiences.

The API comes just two months after Bikeflights launched its first integration: a shipping app for bike industry businesses who use the Shopify platform to power their e-commerce. While the Shopify app initially required an interactive process with Bikeflights representatives to download and configure, the app is now publicly available to download for free from Shopify’s App Store. Upon installation, the updated app walks you through setup and configuration in just a few minutes, and once installed, it’s intuitive to use.

“Our Bikeflights Shopify app and API save our customers time and money on their shipping by making booking shipments and generating labels faster and by reducing errors in the process of doing so,” said Bikeflights Partnerships Director Michael Potter. “Fewer mistakes mean fewer address correction fees, fewer carrier surcharges and more successful deliveries and happier customers.”

Shopify app users generate and get their labels directly in the app, on the platform where they already receive orders – no need to leave the Shopify dashboard or bounce back and forth between windows while juggling multiple programs and services.

“From receiving your orders to purchasing your labels to printing your labels, it’s all done in the same interface,” said Bikeflights Customer Engagement Manager Gordon Wadsworth. “It turns what was hours of work into minutes and lowers your true cost of shipping.”

Bikeflights’ new API and Shopify app enable businesses to offer their customers the best bicycle shipping experience, for which Bikeflights is well known. From easy-to-pack boxes to best-in-class delivery monitoring and fast and friendly claims, Bikeflights has been taking care of riders and their shipments since 2009, with over 1.5 million served.
