If you’ve noticed your shipping rates failing or tracking links breaking lately, you’re not alone. Major carriers—including FedEx, UPS, and USPS—are aggressively sunsetting their older “SOAP” and “XML” technologies in favor of modern REST APIs.
Why the Switch? REST API integrations are faster, more secure, and handle high-traffic volume much better than older methods. For Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) merchants, staying on an outdated shipping module isn’t just a technical debt—it’s a security risk.
The Benefits of Upgrading to REST API Extensions:
Better Performance: Faster checkout load times for shipping methods.
Enhanced Features: Better support for Negotiated Rates and Multi-package shipments.
Future-Proofing: Compliance with the latest carrier security standards (OAuth 2.0).
Is Your Store Ready for 2025? If your current shipping plugin hasn’t been updated in over a year, you are likely running on borrowed time. Switching to a dedicated REST API extension ensures your checkout remains functional and your rates remain accurate.
