You can calculate landed costs directly in Zonos Dashboard without using the API. This is helpful for testing calculations, training your team, or getting quick quotes for customer inquiries.
Dashboard uses the same API endpoints, so the results will match what you'd get from direct API calls. This makes it a great way to validate your API integration or explore how different inputs affect the calculations.
