Budbee is an Instabee brand. It books locker and home delivery across Scandinavia and Benelux through the Instabee Integration API. The catalog card copy is: Budbee delivers parcels to lockers and homes across Scandinavia and Benelux (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium) via the Instabee network. Catalog slug: budbee. This page is the Budbee connect form. Shared chrome for every carrier: Carrier credentials. Inventory of every connector: Connect a carrier or integration. Walkthrough: Carriers. Instabox uses the same Instabee key shape — Connect Instabox.
You do not pick a sender address on this form. Add addresses under Manage → Addresses. The address is chosen on the shipment or on a shipping rule.

Prerequisites

  • An Instabee Integration API key for Budbee. The form helper is: Your Instabee Integration API key (sent as ‘Authorization: ApiKey <key>’). Zippendo does not generate this key.
  • Permission to create carriers in the organization. You can connect Budbee more than once if each connection has its own Carrier name.
The brand on the API is fixed to Budbee in Zippendo. You do not type “budbee” on this form.
