Why use the Postalcode Check API
User experience
Postal code data is validated real-time, simplifying and accelerating the order process. This leads to a better user experience for customers, less return shipments and a higher conversion rate.

Correct data structure
Always the most recent and complete address data.
Get Started
Request your (Sandbox) API Key and start using the API.
As soon as you have an API key, it is recommended to run our Postman collections. Here you can find code examples of the various services and products we offer. This makes implementing the APIs much easier.
