The SendSocial API is here

Since we launched in November, we have been amazed by the number of suggestions for how SendSocial could be used in other ways. We have also had interest from a number of organisations wishing to offer a similar service to their customers.

This got us all thinking – wouldn’t it be great if you could buy a gift for your friend from one of your favourite online stores without needing to look up their address?

We are therefore delighted to announce the immediate release of our API, which lets online retailers and service providers offer the same convenience and privacy that we offer on SendSocial.com.

Our Address Brokerage Service allows organisations to easily integrate the SendSocial process to their existing checkout procedure, releasing address data only if the recipient accepts the request. This allows our partners to use existing logistics arrangements, making integration with SendSocial simple and risk-free. There are no setup or monthly fees, and we only charge our partners when requests are accepted.

To safeguard our users’ data, we have a comprehensive application process before potential integrators can start using the API, with stringent terms of usage meaning address data remains private and is only used for the purposes of fulfilling requests that have been accepted. As a final safety net, any improper use of our API is subject to hefty penalties.

We are currently working with a number of online retailers and are looking forward to announcing the launch of our first partnerships very soon.

If you are interested in partnering with SendSocial and using our Address Brokerage Service, why not learn more about the service and begin the application process?
