With LoadUp’s free API, you can offer low-cost removal and installation add-ons, turn visitors into customers, and gently steer them to raise the average value of their order.

An API is an application programming interface that communicates two or more computer programs. This means LoadUp’s API can seamlessly connect to your businesses’ online shopping carts and offer set up and removal services to your customers.

When a removal service is placed on the API, partners gain extra revenue while LoadUp takes care of set up and/or removal on the order automatically.

Get rid of one of the biggest pain points for shoppers purchasing a new large item online. For example, if you’re selling mattresses or couches, offer them old mattress removal or old couch removal to take away the dread of dealing with it when your new product arrives.

Pairing LoadUp’s shopping cart integration with your existing website means you can offer shoppers help removing the old item in the way of your product — at no additional cost to you. You can even upsell our services to increase conversion rate and also profit from it.

Plus, connecting our shopping cart integration is as easy as adding another product SKU!

How does it integrate with my e-commerce platform?

The API adds our reverse logistics services, such as assembly and old mattress haul away, to your e-commerce store with a specific SKU just like any other product on your website.

As soon as your e-commerce is set up with our API, your nationwide customers (and your returns) get immediate access to assembly/disassembly, removal, and disposal services.

Your team will design and decide on the user interface, marketing, and price of the add-on services. Our teams of screened professionals and proprietary technology will handle the rest.

How does it work with my retail products?

When a purchase with an on add-on is made on your website, three things happen:

1. The paid-for add-ons feed directly into our Drivers app.
2. An automated scheduling email that can be in your brand is sent to the customer.
3. The service appointment is then handled safely and professionally by our Loaders.

✔️ Compatible e-commerce platforms with our partner API

Our checkout API integrates with many trusted e-commerce platforms including:

• Shopify
• WooCommerce

• BigCommerce
• Custom Platforms

Regardless if you’re on another platform or you have a custom-built application, your developer can use our GraphQL API to integrate and automate our cart add-on services.

✨ Use a platform we directly support? You can typically easily get integrated yourself. No developer required! Reach out to our service team to get help with the set up in a brief call.

Adding our API integration to your shopping cart is free, but we do charge for our removal and set-up services at a fixed rate. But, you can up-sell our services to maximize revenue!

If you use one of our integrations, the prices are fixed in “packages.” Disposal rates and laws vary around the country, but to simplify things for our partners, the packages are priced using a blended rate where you pay the same price for that service nationwide.

No contract. Unless you’ve negotiated one separately – use us as much, or as little as you need.

By your company deciding on what you want to charge the customer for our service, you can offset the cost of service and even profit from this eCommerce upselling opportunity.

Pricing packages available nationwide:

Black Friday – Cyber Monday weekend online sales increasingly surpass brick-and-mortar retail sales each year. Yet, your company isn’t capturing as many online sales as it could be.

Your business likely is a great choice for quality, but LoadUp’s API can boost Black Friday sales by making you the best choice all around with convenience customers can count on. This easy ecommerce upsell also increases the value of sales on your website when they shop online.

In 2022, Cyber Monday sales pulled in $11.3 billion in sales but the potential to increase ecommerce conversion rates isn’t limited to the “official” cyber shopping holiday.

E-commerce Black Friday & Cyber Monday Statistics 2022:

• Black Friday profits raked in $9.12 billion.
• Thanksgiving Day sales made $5.29 billion.
• Cyber Monday sales were 5.8% higher than 2021.
• Mobile phones accounted for 48% of Cyber Monday sales.
• Cyber Monday was a big help for online retailers to reach $936.6 billion for the holidays.

🦃 Fun Fact: 21% of all online holiday shopping happens from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday.

That’s more than enough sales you could be a bigger part of — even if your company is not a mega e-commerce machine like Amazon (who accounted for 21% of all Black Friday sales).

It’s inconvenient to buy a new dining room set and be left with disposing of the old one yourself which is why shopping cart abandonment is a problem for many retailers.

Offering add-on disassembly, assembly, removal, and/or disposal at checkout provides a seamless solution to the customer. Our API is an in-cart checkbox or pop-up integration that you can tailor to fit your 2022 Black Friday e-commerce strategy and marketing designs.

💵 Did You Know? Taking inconvenience out of the equation results in higher value purchases!

A big aspect of making good business decisions is by getting to know your audience’s needs. Give customers a full end-to-end solution to make it easier when they buy big bulky items rather than let them become disgruntled and want to make a return when they aren’t sure what to do with the old items.

By partnering with the leader in reverse logistics, LoadUp Enterprise, you are selling an additional service that adds value for the customer, but without handling the logistics of anything but your core business. Increasing your value without doing any extra work.

The holidays are about lifting one another up. LoadUp believes in helping the community year-round by working with local professionals from every area for nationwide job creation. And, you can always feel good about how we handle your customers’ old item removals.

LoadUp uses eco-friendly disposal solutions for old item removal:

• Recycling
• Donations
• Responsible disposal
• Avoiding city dumps when possible

Do you believe in paying for worthwhile add-ons? Customers purchase a service faster when all of their needs are met. Satisfied customers are less likely to ask for refunds, and more likely to mention and refer you to friends and come back to purchase again in the future.

Give your customers one more reason to refresh the living spaces by making convenience a factor in their purchase decisions. The idea is to transparently offer a solution to a real need that customers have. Leading them to order from you again, even when there are no sales.

Obviously you’re offering an incentive for the customer to spend more, and they are aware.

With LoadUp API, customers are no longer left to fend for themselves as soon as they hit the check out button. Our shopping cart integration will maximize your business’ Black Friday and Cyber Monday profits, but it won’t end there.

If you want to increase online sales fast, take full advantage of your e-commerce platform by offering customers a satisfying resolution to their old item removal woes by partnering with LoadUp’s nationwide service.
