In some examples, a computing device exposes, to a merchant device, one or more Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for accessing a delivery service. The computing device receives, from the merchant device, via the one or more APIs, a request regarding delivery of an order specified by a customer for delivery from the merchant. The computing device may send a communication to a courier to instruct the courier to deliver the order. The computing device may receive, from the merchant device, via the one or more APIs, a request for a delivery status of the order received via a user interface. The computing device may determine the delivery status of the order based at least partially on location information received from the courier, and sends the delivery status to prompt the merchant device to present the delivery status in the user interface.
