I have a client who wants an eCommerce site but they have to have a custom shipping service. The way shipping will work will be as follows:
When the online customer is placing the order and is shown the shipping page, this page must query the custom shipping service passing all the order information (as JSON). The shipping service will return a JSON array containing ShipmentOption objects. Each ShipmentOption object contains the shipping method name and the total price of shipping the items on the order to the online customer's address.
Can the BigCommerce platform handle the above requirement? If yes, can you please send me the URL to the pages that explain to me how to set this up or send me the instructions please?
This isn't possible to accomplish with Bigcommerce, but you may be able to use ShipperHQ to host the same logic and get similar, if not the same, quotes.

I want to create a shopify app that can fetch tax and HS code details from my website and display that to checkout page of the user as soon as user adds a product to cart. How can I build this?
You can use an App Proxy at the cart level to show off information. The proxy serves as a secure way of contacting your server and returning results. In checkout itself, you can offer up information too, with checkout scripts post-purchase.
Note that without integrating a tax service into Shopify itself and using that, none of the tax data or numbers you show off will have any use in the actual order calculations, meaning all your work is simple convenience of showing off an estimation to customers. The tax numbers the customers may actually see will be done by Shopify and/or the integrated tax solution your merchant account uses.
In our project we need to integrate a custom payment gateway. We need to do SOAP calls to the gateway and in the call to make the payment, we need to include several data related to the order like shipping and billing Address.
Working with Sylius and Payum, wich should be the best way to get this data from the order? maybe injecting the order repository in the Convert or CaptureAction and get the order data from there?
sorry, now i found that i can get the order from the Payment.
With this i can get all the data i need.
I am attempting to work on some integration with Shopify and Shippo, part of the process is sending an email to our warehouse including the order line items with the Shipping Label attached as a PDF.
When we create the label in Shippo, the fulfillment information is updated in Shopify correctly, but I was wondering if there was any way to link the two back up reliably from an API perspective since the Shippo API appears to not include any invoice information. I see a link to an internal order object, but the API docs don't seem to stipulate any further information and the Shopify Fulfillment record does not appear to include any Shippo object id.
The only thing I see if the Shippo Order Metadata field which includes the order number, so I suppose I could parse this and make the request to Shopify's API but I would prefer a more concrete link if one is available.
We (I'm working on Shippo's product team) currently don't officially support Shopify Fulfillments with Shippo API label purchases.
That said, we have an Orders API endpoint in beta. The Orders endpoint allows you to retrieve all Orders of a Shippo account, including those imported automatically from Shopify. Each order, like all other Shippo resources, has an object_id field.
When you create a label through the Shippo API's Transaction endpoint, you can link the Order to the Transaction by sending the additional flag order, setting it to the object_id of the corresponding Order (e.g.: { ... "order": "<order-object-id>" ... }). This will trigger the corresponding Fulfillment of the order on its shopping cart platform, in your case Shopify.
Feel free to reach out to product#goshippo.com if you have more questions about this endpoint. Please keep in mind that it is still in closed beta and the endpoint might change in the future.
I was able to make an offer using PlaceOfferRequest (XML). What should I do in order to complete the purchase and update the shipping address to where he/she should ship the Item?
I'm using XML in order to post the request.
While I can't find any official resource stating that completing purchases isn't possible, I'm 99% sure that its simply not possible. All you can do is redirect the user to the payments page, using this template for the URL:
http://payments.${DOMAIN}/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CheckoutProcessor&item=${Item.ItemID}&transactionId=${TransactionID}
Where DOMAIN could be, for example, "sandbox.ebay.de" or just "ebay.com".
I'm planning a new Shopify project, and the site requires a different shipping cost depending on the postal area of a postcode (e.g. SE1, N7). The plan was to manually add different shipping options inside of Shopify, then AJAX GET /cart/shipping_rates.json, and manually filter to the correct shipping rate by matching the name to postal area.
But my question is -- is there any way to carry over this shipping method to the Checkout as a selected option, and hide the Shipping Method drop-down from the checkout to prevent them choosing a different the shipping cost?
... Or, ideally, is there a way for me to directly override shipping costs through the API?
I don't know of any onboard functionality, which can facilitate this.
But there is a quite hacky workaround, that I use to filter the shipping rates in the checkout page.
Through the "Additional Google Analytics Javascript" field you can sneak a JS on every page of the shop, including the checkout. Here you can basically manipulate the shipping rates as you like.
In your case, the code must be aware of the shipping_address zip code. You can try to set a cookie on the first checkout page and then read the same cookie on the second.
Unfortunately, this isn’t possible with Shopify’s existing checkout.
