SimplShip

We've just launched an update to our address verification schema. In order to make it more useful to our users, we've added a couple of new data points. The most notable are:

• latitude / longitude
• timezone
• address normalization

We're trying to bring the most value to our customers, this is a step in bringing our users the most info we can related to their addresses.

We've now added the ability for users to sign in or register using their Google accounts. We are trying to remove every barrier to signing up! We've also removed the need to add a credit card to sign up. Now all you need is your e-mail and you can get started right away.

Woot! Just launched a new authentication integration for our web app today. You can now login and sign up using your Github credentials. Hopefully this breaks down the barrier to entry when it comes to signing up for our service.

Up next:

• Remove credit card requirement on sign up
• Add Google auth integration

We have officially reached beta!!! SimplShip is officially in the wild and we're so excited to share this awesome tool with e-commerce platforms! We've initially launched with 2 API's around address and location data for companies that do a lot of shipping.

Our first API is address validation, you can verify an U.S. based address and ensure that it is an actual address according to the U.S.P.S.

Our second API is address auto-completion. This exists to help your mobile users, because it's a MAJOR pain to have to type out your address on your phone. It's also easy to mistype something.

We have sooooo much more coming soon around shipping API's and tools for e-commerce companies!
