Products/Courier API
Courier API
Add on-demand delivery to your product. Quote a trip, book it on Gozem's driver network, and track it from pickup to drop-off.
How a delivery works
Your product asks for a price and books. Gozem finds the driver, runs the trip, and reports back at every step.
01Ask for a price Send a pickup and a drop-off. You get the price, the distance and how long it will take, before your customer commits to anything.
02Book the delivery Accept the price and Gozem dispatches a driver from its own network. No fleet to hire, no dispatchers to staff, no vehicles to insure.
03Follow it to the door Your product is told the moment a driver is assigned, the package is collected and the delivery lands, with an itemised invoice at the end.

Quote holds for
Gozem delivers inside a city, not between cities. A pickup and its drop-off have to sit in the same covered area. City to city delivery is not available yet.
What you can do
Everything it takes to run deliveries from your own product, through a single API.
Motorcycle for parcels up to 15 kg. Cargo for bulky loads up to 250 kg, in Lomé for now. Availability depends on the pickup city.
Fare, distance and duration in a single answer. Every quote comes with an expiry time. Book straight from the quote you were given.
Book from a quote or from a full itinerary. Cancel a trip when plans change. Message the courier and rate the trip.
Status changes are pushed to your server. No polling loop to build or maintain. Simulate status changes in the sandbox.
Several drop-offs in a single trip. Route optimization is one setting away. A contact name, phone and note for each stop.
One invoice for every completed trip. The fare broken down line by line. Trip stats for your own reporting.
