Re: `Shipping line price can't be blank` error when creating draft order

`Shipping line price can't be blank` error when creating draft order

Hello.

I have always been creating draft orders with shippingLine value set to:

shippingLine: {shippingRateHandle: "Standard"}

And it was working all good. Since 30.10.2023 I am getting such errors:

 

            "userErrors": [
                {
                    "field": [
                        "shippingLine",
                        "price"
                    ],
                    "message": "Shipping line price isn't a number."
                },
                {
                    "field": [
                        "shippingLine",
                        "price"
                    ],
                    "message": "Shipping line price can't be blank"
                },
                {
                    "field": [
                        "shippingLine",
                        "title"
                    ],
                    "message": "Shipping line title can't be blank"
                }
            ]

When I set custom price and title, it works. But I want to use shop's default shipping costs. What should I do?

Hi Adam,

 

That does seem unusual, thanks for flagging the issue you're having. Ideally you should be able to rely on existing shipping settings rather than specify custom ones each time. I'll check if there was a recent change with this. Are you using the `2023-10` API version?

Thank you for the quick reply. I am using API version 2023-01, but I checked that the problem also appears on version `2023-10`.

We are experiencing the exact same issue, and also see the error coming out of nowhere. It stopped worked since yesterday I think, one of our clients reported about the error today. We haven't changed API version or any code, I've tried API versions 2023-01 up to unstable, all of them having the same problem

 

Setting the price field doesn't really work for us when creating draft orders in a non-shop currency, as it's the shop currency being used when the price is added manually, which makes it very hard to match the correct price of the shipping method

We have an identical issue, and we are on the '2023-01' API.

 

Liam, how would you suggest to proceed?

We shipped an update related to this yesterday - can you test again and see if you're still receiving an error?

@Liam I just made a quick test using PostMan and it looks like it's working as it used to. I will test a bit more and let you know how the result

 

Do you know if this is a change that will come in a future API version, or was it simply an error?

 

Thanks for the quick resolution, much appreciated
