Shipping in Shopify
- Former user (Deleted)
Owned by Former user (Deleted)
The third use case in the Shopify business scenario is used for shipping. This page describes the related tasks and the operations you use in the Shopify connector and the other ESB connectors
Overview
The flow for shipping is illustrated in the following diagram. The ESB connectors for Shippo will be used to connect to each service.
Assumption
The stock levels in Shopify are automatically updated when the order is processed after payments.
- Retrieve unshipped orders from Shopify using the listOrders operation.
- Create fulfilments for the retrieved orders in the Shopify API using the createOrder operation, only if the shipping address is provided.
The recipient address will be created in the Shippo API using the createAddress operation, and this address will be mapped with the shipping address of the order in the Shopify API before the shipment is created. The shipping address is provided in the order in the Shopify API. Create shipments in the Shippo API using the createShipment operation.
Note
- As a prerequisite, parcels and the sender’s address will be created in the Shippo API as an offline process of ESB.
- Only the “QUOTE” object_purpose and the “DROPOFF” submission_type of the shipment are handled in the Shippo API for this particular scenario.
