Shipping Aggregator — A platform that resells multiple couriers under one account and wallet — Shiprocket, NimbusPost, iThink, Pure Parcel. You get the panel without signing each carrier.
Why it matters to your store
Aggregators trade rate markup for convenience and zero volume commitments — right answer early, worth re-examining past ~1,000 orders/month.
This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.

One signup → 15 couriers → compare ₹52 vs ₹67 on the same parcel → book → one wallet debit.
The bottom line
Shipping jargon is really just the billing manual in disguise — every term on this list maps to a line on an invoice or a lever on your margins. Pure Parcel is built so you rarely have to think about it: statuses normalise, bills reconcile, and quotes already include the surcharges.
