medusa-fulfillment-shippo

ℹ️ Requires Medusa ^1.3.5

Shippo fulfillment provider for Medusa Commerce.

Provides fulfillment options using carrier service levels and user created service groups that can be used to create shipping options for profiles and regions.

Rates at checkout optimized with a first-fit-decreasing (FFD) bin packing algorithm.

Fulfillments create orders in shippo.

Supports returns, exchanges, and claims.

Public interface for rapid custom integration. Reference | Quick Reference

Eventbus payloading instead of arbitrary data assumption and storage.

Getting started

Install:

> npm i medusa-fulfillment-shippo

Add to medusa-config.js

12345678910
{
  resolve: `medusa-fulfillment-shippo`,
    options: {
      api_key: SHIPPO_API_KEY,
      weight_unit_type: 'g', // valid values: g, kg, lb, oz
      dimension_unit_type: 'cm', // valid values: cm, mm, in
      webhook_secret: '', // README section on webhooks before using!
      webhook_test_mode: false
    },
}

Orders

Creating an order fulfillment makes a new order in shippo. An event is emitted with the response data and related internal ids.

Create a Subscriber to access the data.

Event: shippo.order_created

123456
{
  order_id: "",
  fulfillment_id: "",
  customer_id: "",
  shippo_order: {...}
}

Retrieve

12345
await shippoService.order.fetch(object_id)

await shippoService.order.fetchBy(["fulfillment", ful_id]

await shippoService.order.with(["fulfillment"]).fetch(object_id)

See references for all methods

Packing Slips

Retrieve

1234567
const { object_id } = order

await shippoService.packingslip.fetch(object_id)

Rates at Checkout

Provide customers with accurate shipping rates at checkout to reduce over and under charges. This plugin implements a first-fit-decreasing bin packing algorithm to choose an appropriate parcel for the items in a cart. Follow this guide to get setup and then optimize.

Setup Shipping Options in Shippo App

Lets assume shipping from Canada to customers in Canada and USA via “Standard” and “Express” options

This would require setting up 4 shipping options in Shippo (<https://apps.goshippo.com/settings/rates-at-checkout>)

Standard Shipping Canada
Express Shipping Canada
Standard Shipping USA
Express Shiping USA

Set each shipping option to “Live rate” and assign service(s) to them

For example:

Express Shipping Canada: Canada Post XpressPost
Express Shipping USA: Canada Post XpressPost USA
…

For more in-depth details see https://support.goshippo.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403207559963

Assign Shipping Options to Regions in Medusa

Create shipping options for regions as usual

See here for common issue

Setup parcel templates

Create package templates in the Shippo app settings

To get most optimal results, it is recommended to create package templates for all your shipping boxes.

Verify product dimensions and weight

In your medusa store, make sure products have correct values for length, width, height, weight

During Checkout

Retrieve shipping options for cart as usual and any price_type: calculated options belonging to provider: shippo will have amount: Number.

Rates calculate only if cart has shipping address and items

HTTP:

1
GET /store/shipping-options/:cart_id

Service:

1
const shippingOptions = await shippingProfileService.fetchCartOptions(cart)

Add to Cart

Add a Shipping Method and if shipping_option has price_type: calculated the rate will be saved to the shipping_method

HTTP:

12
POST /store/carts/:id/shipping-methods
 --data '{"option_id":"example_cart_option_id"}'

Help, adding a shipping method to cart throws an error

This is an issue with medusa-admin. Examine line 85 admin/src/domain/settings/regions/new-shipping.tsx

Options with price_type: flat_rate will not pass through fulFillmentProviderService.calculatePrice()

medusa-admin is still early phase software.

Workaround it, use the REST api directly, or patch the issue for now

Possible interim solution:

123
price_type: (options[optionIndex].type === "LIVE_RATE") 
    ? "calculated" 
    : "flat_rate",

Webhooks

Caution

Incoming HTTP requests from Shippo to webhook endpoints lack authentication. No secret token, no signature in the request header, no bearer, nothing.

Before enabling webhooks, understand the risks of an open and insecure HTTP endpoint that consumes data, and how to mitigate this. Please DO NOT use this without SSL/TLS. Whitelisting shippo IP's is a good idea. There are also intermediary third party services such as pipedream and hookdeck that can be used to relay requests.

You will also need to self generate a token and add it as a url query param. Ya I know… but it's better than nothing and it is encrypted over HTTPS

The flow at the code level is:

Webhook receives POST data
URL query token is verified
The request json gets verified by fetching the same object directly from shippo API, following these steps:
1. Request body contains json claiming to be a shippo object.
2. Ok, but lets fetch this object directly from Shippo's API
3. If the fetch resolves to the object requested, then use that data instead of the untrusted input
4. Otherwise throw a HTTP 500 and do nothing

Setup

In .env add SHIPPO_WEBHOOK_SECRET=some_secret_string

Add to medusa-config.js

12345678910111213
const SHIPPO_API_KEY = process.env.SHIPPO_API_KEY
const SHIPPO_WEBHOOK_SECRET = process.env.SHIPPO_WEBHOOK_SECRET

{
  resolve: `medusa-fulfillment-shippo`,
  options: {
    api_key: SHIPPO_API_KEY,
    weight_unit_type: 'g',
    dimension_unit_type: 'cm',
    webhook_secret: SHIPPO_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
    webhook_test_mode: false    
  },
},

Endpoints

Hooks need to be setup in Shippo app settings

transaction_created: /hooks/shippo/transaction?token=SHIPPO_WEBHOOK_SECRET

transaction_updated: /hooks/shippo/transaction?token=SHIPPO_WEBHOOK_SECRET

track_updated: /hooks/shippo/track?token=SHIPPO_WEBHOOK_SECRET

Then send a sample. If everything is good you will see this in console:

12
Processing shippo.received.transaction_created which has 0 subscribers
Processing shippo.rejected.transaction_created which has 0 subscribers

This is the expected behaviour because the data could not be verified. Since it is a sample, when the plugin tried to verify the transaction by requesting the same object back directly from shippo api, it did not exist. It will NOT use input data beyond making the verification, so it gets rejected.

Test Mode

Test mode bypasses input authenticity verification, i.e. it will use the untrusted input data instead of requesting the same data back from shippo.

This allows testing using data that does not exist in shippo.

To enable, set webhook_test_mode: true in medusa-config.js plugin options.

Running in test mode is a security risk, enable only for testing purposes.

Shippo Node Client

This plugin is using a forked version of the official shippo-node-client.

The fork adds support for the following endpoints:

live-rates
service-groups
user-parcel-templates
orders/:id/packingslip
...
Doc is WIP

The client is exposed on the useClient property of shippoClientService

123456789
const client = shippoService.client

// Forks additional methods
await client.liverates.create({...parms})
await client.userparceltemplates.list()
await client.userparceltemplates.retrieve(id)
