Route Optimization API Usage and Billing

Route Optimization API product SKUs

Route Optimization bills per shipment, and has two SKUs that determine the cost. Which SKU is triggered is based on the number of vehicles in your Route Optimization request:

  • Requests that contain one vehicle: Billed to the Single Vehicle Routing SKU

The per-request charge is based on the number of shipments in the optimization request, times the shipment unit price per SKU.
