Issue Resolved: Setting Weight Range Conditions

The user needed to add weight range conditions to a delivery profile’s method definition using Shopify’s GraphQL API.

Initial Problem:

  • Attempted to use weightConditionsToCreate within methodDefinitionsToCreate
  • Struggled with properly structuring minimum and maximum weight criteria
  • Code snippet showed incomplete/corrupted formatting

Solution:

  • Create a list of weight conditions using weightConditionsToCreate
  • Define two separate condition objects:
    • Minimum weight: Use GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO operator with unit KILOGRAMS
    • Maximum weight: Use LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO operator with unit KILOGRAMS
  • Each condition requires criteria (unit + value) and operator fields

Status: Resolved - the user successfully implemented the weight range by structuring conditions as an array of criteria objects.

Hello, I am trying to add a range weight conditions on a delivery profile, that’s the code:

        query = """
            mutation deliveryProfileUpdate($id: ID!, $profile: DeliveryProfileInput!) 
                {  
                    deliveryProfileUpdate(id: $id, profile: $profile) 
                    {    
                        profile {      
                            id    
                        }    
                        userErrors {      
                            field      
                            message

        result = shopify.GraphQL().execute(query, variables=variables)

How to properly set the range, like the code above it doesn’t work I have to fille the minumum weight and maximum weight, how to achieve that?

I have solved, for someone who is interested to create a range weight, you need to add a list of

wieghtConditionsToCreate:

"weightConditionsToCreate": [ { 
                                    "criteria": {
                                        "unit": "KILOGRAMS",
                                        "value": weight_and_price["weights"]["min"],
                                    },
                                    "operator": "GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO"
                                },
                                 {
                                    "criteria": {
                                        "unit": "KILOGRAMS",
                                        "value": weight_and_price["weights"]["max"],
                                    },
                                    "operator": "LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO"
                                }
                                ]
