Scheduling a pickup allows you to have your parcels collected by a driver from a location of your choosing. When scheduling a pickup via the Pickups API, the sender address is dynamic, which means that you don’t have to have a sender address saved in your Sendcloud account settings.
When you schedule a pickup via the API, you are only able to schedule a one-time collection. Depending on your shipping volume you may be able to schedule a recurring pick-up from your preferred location on a weekly or more than weekly basis.
