Re: Calculate shipping rate with draft order api

Calculate shipping rate with draft order api

Hi,

I'm developing a custom app and I'm trying to create a draft order with the calculation of shipping via API.

The problem is that I don't have the shipping rates options.

How can I get the shipping rates of a specific draft order?

like there is in checkout api?

This is an accepted solution.

I did find a way to get this working.  Take a look at the Checkouts API.  There is an endpoint to shipping_rates.json that returns the shipping rates.  All you need is the checkout token.  I was able to get this from the draft order's invoice URL. For example, draft order invoice URL: https://apple.myshopify.com/690933842/invoices/d64d93d528cfc75c0876183d58f4a has checkout token: d64d93d528cfc75c0876183d58f4a.

Hey @zivmiz,

 

Just wanted to let you know we're looking in to this. The documentation definitely makes it seem like you can calculate shipping rates using this endpoint, but to be honest I don't remember ever seeing that and I'm not seeing a way to do it now. I'll post back here when I have an update for you.

I'm also facing this issue.  I need to get the shipping rates for a draft order to be able to set the shipping_line of the draft order.  Any updates on this?

Hey guys,

Just want to throw my two cents in here! I've also been trying to get this to work based on what I read in the docs, but I can't figure it out. Seems like I'm not alone! Any word on a possible fix?

Thanks for that follow up! I'm going to give it a try now. Out of curiosity, are you a "Sales Channel"?

Sure no problem.  No, I'm not a sales channel.  Just a software developer from Unific dealing with this issue myself.

The problem with the solution here is that this endpoint is only available to Sales Channels. It can't be used by normal apps.
As far as I know, there is still no way to get the shipping rate for draft order without specifying it by yourself.

Use the Storefront API to fetch the shipping rates on the frontend/client.

We use this exact trick with DraftOrder API, and use the checkout token in the invoice URL as a checkout ID. This checkout ID is used client-side to query for shipping rates.

@tolgapaksoyThank you for this information. It seems like this should work 🙂 Will try it out.

For our regular private app I could get available shipping rates by using GraphQL Admin API - draftOrderCalculate mutation - https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/graphql/reference/orders/draftordercalculate#interactive-example-... :

Query POST https://jennyyoo-staging.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-01/graphql.json :

mutation draftOrderCalculate($input: DraftOrderInput!) {
  draftOrderCalculate(input: $input) {
    calculatedDraftOrder {
      subtotalPrice
      totalPrice
      totalShippingPrice
      totalTax
      availableShippingRates {
          handle
          title
          price {
              amount
          }
      }
    }
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

 

Input:

{
    "input": {
        "lineItems": [{
            "variantId": "gid://shopify/ProductVariant/123",
            "quantity": 1,
            "appliedDiscount": null
        }],

There is also another option. Use this code snippet:

      "shipping_line": {
            "custom":"true",
            "title":"Fedex",
            "price":"12.99"
        }

Can you explain what you mean by that? Are you suggesting we just charge everyone 12.99 for "Fedex"? 😄

Hi, 

Do you have any solution to this?

We need this.

There is no way to calculate to fetch available shipping options with draft order API.
