Questions & answers

Why integrate the Correos Express API through Sendcloud instead of directly?

Direct Correos Express integration means managing webservice credentials with the username ending in _WS, a 5-character password (letters and numbers), client identifier, and Sender Code in the format I+client_number.

Through Sendcloud, you authenticate once with your Sendcloud API key and use a single REST schema for Correos Express alongside every other carrier in your account. A direct Correos Express contract is required either way; Sendcloud rates aren't offered for Correos Express.

What happens when Correos Express updates or breaks their API?

Correos Express periodically updates webservice authentication and zone-based rate structures. Direct integrators have to refresh credentials and update their zone-routing logic when Correos Express ships changes.

When you ship Correos Express through the Sendcloud REST API, the abstraction layer absorbs those changes. Sendcloud's engineering monitors Correos Express's documentation and adjusts the carrier connector internally. Your Sendcloud request schema stays the same.

Can I use my own Correos Express contract?

Yes, and you have to. Correos Express requires a direct contract; Sendcloud rates aren't offered. Contact your Sendcloud sales representative if you don't have a contract yet.

In Sendcloud, go to Shipping > Carriers > My Contracts, find Correos, and click Add Contract. Enter the Username (ends in _WS), Password (5 characters, letters and numbers), Client Identifier, and Sender Code (I + client number). A Lite, Growth, or Premium plan is required.

If you change Correos Express credentials, update them in Sendcloud too. See the Correos Express contract activation Help Center article.

Which Correos Express products are supported through the API?

Through Sendcloud, you can ship Correos Express's full domestic and Iberian product line. Multi-line international shipments support up to 3 different item types per international shipment.

Spanish shipping zones: ES Provincial, ES Regional, ES Peninsular (under 800 km between capitals), ES Peninsular+ (800 km or more), ES Canary, ES Canary - Other Islands. Cross-border to mainland Portugal is supported through Peninsular zone configurations.

The Sendcloud shipping-methods endpoint returns the up-to-date list of methods enabled on your account. See the Correos Express shipping conditions Help Center article.

Which Correos Express-specific features does the API expose?

Correos Express-specific features exposed through the integration:

  • 6-zone Spanish shipping structure built into the rate engine (Provincial, Regional, Peninsular, Peninsular+, Canary, Canary - Other Islands)

  • Mailbox or neighbor delivery options when the recipient is unavailable

  • Peak-season behavior: only one delivery attempt; high-volume parcels may be deposited at a service point

  • 3-item-type limit per international shipment

How do I track Correos Express parcels?

Correos Express tracking includes service-point hold events when peak-season conditions limit delivery to a single attempt. Mailbox and neighbor-delivery events flow through the standard webhook stream when the recipient is unavailable.

All events normalise to Sendcloud's status taxonomy through GET https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v2/tracking/{tracking_number}, with the chronological history under statuses and each event mapped to parent_status. Subscribe to the parcel-status-changed webhook for push updates. Reference: Tracking parcels.

How do I create Correos Express return labels?

Correos Express return method availability depends on your contract setup. Peak-season behavior applies to returns too: only one delivery attempt may be made, with high-volume returns deposited directly at a service point.

All return labels are created through Sendcloud's standalone v3 Returns API (synchronous or asynchronous; async is recommended for higher throughput). No outgoing parcel lookup or JWT tokens are required. Reference: Returns API overview.

How does Sendcloud's multi-carrier API compare to connecting carriers individually?

The Sendcloud REST API gives you access to 170+ carriers, including Correos Express, through one credential set, one schema, one webhook stream, and one error model. Connecting carriers individually means handling separate authentication, payload formats, and tracking systems for each, and redoing the work every time a carrier ships breaking changes upstream.

With Sendcloud, you ship Correos Express alongside Correos, SEUR, MRW, and DHL, or any other carrier in your account using the same code. Route shipments between carriers based on rules (weight, destination, service level, cost) without writing carrier-specific routing logic. Fall back to alternative carriers automatically if Correos Express's upstream system has issues.

Adding a new carrier later means adding it to your Sendcloud account, not building a new integration.
