Product Updates

Product Highlights From December 2025

Here’s a quick roundup of everything we launched in December 2025 – from improved webhook granularity and new courier partners to cross-border expansions and smarter checkout capabilities. A busy end to the year across shipping, intelligence, and growth tools.

Domestic Shipping

Tracking Webhooks

We’ve enhanced tracking webhooks to provide more granular visibility into shipment movement and returns. Location and RTO AWB details are now available, with latitude and longitude appearing in the scans array when GPS data is shared by the courier. If GPS data is unavailable, values are omitted or default to 0.

For courier partners with RTO tracking enabled, awb contains the forward AWB and return_awb_code contains the return AWB, with scans covering only return journey events. This gives webhook integrations a cleaner separation between forward and return tracking data.

New Couriers – Velocity and Kuik NDD

Two new courier partners are now live on Shiprocket. Velocity supports Same-Day Delivery (SDD) and Kuik NDD supports Next-Day Delivery (NDD), adding more options for sellers with time-sensitive orders.

Weight Discrepancy Communication

Weight discrepancy notifications have been revamped for clearer, more consistent communication. Emails are now sent from an official Shiprocket email ID and are triggered only after verification by the Weight Excellence team. Each notification includes a detailed attachment with AWB number, applied weight, charged weight, excess weight, action taken, and reason for the discrepancy.

Returns

Multiple enhancements to return management this month:

  • Advance AWB flow for enterprise-scale return requirements
  • Support for additional image formats in RVP quality checks
  • New return cancellation actions for better operational control

Pickup Performance

Two new interventions to improve pickup reliability – a WhatsApp-based escalation flow after failed pickup attempts, and a pickup-focused recommendation engine to improve performance in stressed pin codes.

Hyperlocal Courier Options in Rule Engine

Hyperlocal courier type is now supported in the courier rule engine, available across all rule parameters and consistent with how SDD and NDD rules are configured. This gives sellers more precise control over courier selection logic within Shiprocket Quick.

International Shipping

Improved Support Experience

The Seller Panel ticket creation experience for international shipments has been redesigned. There are now two clear categories – ShiprocketX and ShiprocketX Tech – ensuring accurate routing to the right Operations or Tech team, and faster issue resolution.

India Post Now Live for USA Cross-Border Shipments

India Post is now available for cross-border shipments to the USA on ShiprocketX, with real-time duty and tariff calculation via APIs and clear cost visibility on the Ship Now screen.
