I couldn't found an endpoint(Shopify API REST or Shopify GraphQL) to get the shipping rates available for a product, quantity, and zip code.
The idea is a user in the PDP(Product detail page) select a quantity for a product, type a zip code and after that, I need to render the information (name of shipping and price) in PDP. This functionality is using the Shopify Rates not CarrierService custom
The answer to this was to use Draft Orders to simulate the Order and see the cost of Shipping

I have created one custom shipping module in Prestashop 1.7 which will list multiple shipping carriers (like DHL, Fedex etc) on checkout page and in-order to fetch their shipping cost, i am calling their respective API by passing parameters of products like Size,,Weight,Length,Width etc.. to fetch their shipping cost. https://prnt.sc/LzQlgXZdPv3W
Now if we select Cash on Delivery payment method then i need to again call shipping carrier api to fetch new shipping price as shipping price will be different based on Cash on Delivery Payment method. Because COD payment method will be having higher shipping price as compare with other payment methods like Credit Card, Debit card etc.
Can anyone know how we can achieve this functionality ? as i need to update shipping price (by calling their API) through ajax when we change payment method on checkout page.
I am a shopify partner, I am trying to get around the the variant limits of shopify by coding an app and also because my client has a complicated formula for calculating the price. I don't have a problem with the part that adds the information for my variants to the order, however when I want to modify the price based on the user selection, it doesn't seem an easy task to do.
I came across couple of apps which does the same thing by adding a new product or variation which is not optimal for my use case, is there any app that does the job without adding extra information to the database, if so, how?
Qualified Yes
Unfortunately, Shopify doesn't give us a lot of options to edit prices of items dynamically. Here are the two options that I know of that will allow you to adjust the price of a product directly - however, both have limitations.
Using Shopify Script Editor
If you're working with a Shopify Plus merchant, you can use the Shopify Script Editor to dynamically adjust the prices of products, provided that the direction you adjust is down. You cannot increase the price of a product using the script editor - so for your use case, the list price would have to be the most expensive possible price that the item sells for, which you would then discount appropriately using the app.
Using draft orders
Using an app, you can use Shopify's Draft Order API to create an order with custom discounts and/or create completely custom items that are independent of the products set up in the product database.
The basic flow for this is that when the customer clicks 'checkout' you halt the normal navigation, send the cart contents to your app, create a draft order with the appropriate pricing, then supply the front-end code with the draft-order checkout/invoice URL so that you can send the customer there instead of the normal checkout. This has several limitations, however, including that prices of existing products can only be discounted, not increased, and the fact that Shopify will not allow a customer to use discount codes on a draft order invoice - once an order is set up this way, Shopify's assumption is that all prices are final.
Disclaimer: Sorry if someone sensible doesn't like a response with a link :) I'm not related to this app I'm just a user.
On a project with complex pricing, we use the app Wholesale Pricing Discount by Wholesale Helper we liked because is easy to import multiple pricing by-product and relate it by customer.
this app does not multiply the products, they use customer tags. maybe that can give you some guidance.
An important rule on Shopify is you can't increase the price by API on an order, you can just reduce i
I tried to develop a Shopify application and I needed to bundle some products and sell those together with the special discount values.
There are some apps like product-bundle but I need bundling product in my app.
I tried to create one product similar to them and after the purchase completed I delete it but I think it's not a good solution because this product will be shown to shop and other customers can purchase that while I want to offer this product to a certain customer only.
In another way, I tried to use Shopify discount but can't satisfy my need or maybe I can't find true ways.
How can I do that?
There are multiple ways in which you can handle this.
1) Create a product itself:
Create a single product indicating a combination of your desired multiple products and combination of your price.
When the customer adds all the related products, detect it from cart webhook and update the cart of the customer by removing such products and adding the single product(i.e combination of all products).
2) Create a discount code: Create a discount code with your desired discount amount for each combo. Detect the products in the cart by cart webhook, if combo products found automatically apply the coupon to the cart.
We have built an e-commerce web application (Node backend, Vue frontend). We process the payment using Stripe, but many brands have asked us if the order and inventory control can be done in Shopify. We are trying to figure out the best way integrate a payment module into Shopify so that the brand can manage the fulfilment and inventory through Shopify.
It seems we should use the Order API to create an order and mark it as paid. But how do we know that the product is in stock, and what are the cost for shipping and tax from Shopify when creating the order? I think we can use the Product API to get inventory levels, but where is the shipping and tax endpoints?
If I understand the Order API correctly, we need to tell Shopify what are the shipping costs and tax costs, when a new order is created. Is that right? How could we possibly know those figures? Seems like there should be an endpoint to calculate shipping costs and get a product's tax rates so that we can then pass those figures back into the Order API. Am I missing something?
I thought maybe we are supposed to create an order that has financial_status: pending first to get shipping and tax rates back (does it even give you those?), then update the order to either cancel_reason: customer or cancel_reason: inventory if those rates are too expensive and the order is declined? But surely we need to know what shipping methods are available to the customer in order to tell Shopify which one to use, right? Or does it by default choose the cheapest one when creating an order?
Notes:
We know the customers shipping address
We don't know where the product is warehoused (Shopify does I think)
We don't know the weights or dimensions of the product (Shopify does I think)
This answer is a little bit late, but i hope, i can help others that are struggling with the same issue.
First i would recommend to set up all Shipping Rates and Taxes in Shopify. There are plenty of manuals to achieve this:
https://help.shopify.com/manual/taxes#general-process-to-set-up-taxes
https://help.shopify.com/manual/shipping/rates-and-methods/calculated-rates
After this there are different possibilities to calculate your shipping and tax cost.
Your shipping cost can you get via the active_shipping API, which can be found here:
https://github.com/Shopify/active_shipping
Or the following Shopify Application: https://apps.shopify.com/boxify
However, you may need to know size and storage location for theese solutions.
The taxes can you get via the country in the Admin API, there is a specific key-value pair for this:
https://help.shopify.com/api/reference/country
I hope that's enough information to get closer to solving the issue, for at least someone.
Currently I am working on export orders from ebay to prestashop through my local application.
I fetching orders from eBay by API and I prepare the order as XML and send by Presta webservice to my webshop. I do not know how to solve the problem with shipping costs. On eBay I have a different shipping than in my shop, so I do not want to choose a carrier when ordering, but give a "shipping cost" manually. There is a possibility?
