Pingen provides automatic webhook notifications for key events, delivering real-time updates for each letter. This allows you to react without having to actively monitor the print-and-mail API.
Pingen offers a free staging (sandbox) environment that mirrors production. You can simulate the entire mailing process without costs or risks and test every scenario before going live.
Pingen provides detailed status information throughout the entire mailing process via the API and webhooks - from letter submission and print processing to handover to the post. For letters sent as registered mail to Germany, Pingen also provides detailed postal tracking as well as a delivery confirmation by Deutsche Post.
Yes, Pingen supports sending letters by registered mail to Germany via Deutsche Post Einschreiben Einfach, as well as to France, Belgium, Spain, Liechtenstein and Switzerland via the respective local postal providers. Depending on the postal provider, registered mail includes detailed tracking and official proof of delivery.
Yes, Pingen provides SDKs for popular programming languages including PHP, Java, Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, and .NET, making it easy to integrate postal letter sending via Deutsche Post into your application. Links to all available SDKs can be found in the Pingen API documentation
Yes, Pingen prints pages with SEPA payment slips directly onto preprinted and preperforated SEPA forms. The submitted pages must comply with official German requirements and may only contain the content to be printed (and not the background that is already preprinted on the form).

Yes, the Pingen API is already used by major companies such as Uber, Deel and Brillant Energie. With GDPR-compliant data processing, idempotency keys, webhooks, rate limiting and configurable sending limits, the API is designed for secure, reliable and scalable enterprise deployments in Germany and internationally.
Yes, Pingen offers a separate staging environment where developers can test API integrations and the entire mailing process without letters being physically printed or sent via Deutsche Post. It mirrors the functionality of the production environment, allowing integrations to be developed and tested safely before going live. Access the staging environment
Yes, the Pingen API allows you to send letters worldwide. In addition to Germany also letters to Austria, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom, India, the Netherlands, and Switzerland are printed locally and delivered by local postal providers.

Both Pingen and Deutsche Post offer APIs for automating physical mail, but they differ in scope and accessibility. The Pingen API is available immediately without manual approval and can be used to send letters in Germany and internationally. In addition to printing letters locally and delivering them through Deutsche Post, Pingen also provides local production and postal delivery through national postal providers in many other countries.
