state based shipping cost calculator for Sri Lanka

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A Sri Lankan shipping provider seeks help integrating their location- and delivery-time–based shipping cost calculator API into Shopify to automate order fulfillment. The API (application programming interface) already works with WooCommerce and also supports shipping label creation and tracking.

They have an official dataset of Sri Lankan districts (treated as states), cities, and postal codes from the postal department to drive rate calculations, and suggest Shopify could incorporate this data if needed.

Request: technical assistance or collaboration to set up the Shopify integration.

Response: one participant expressed interest in using a custom delivery partner in Sri Lanka and asked for more details.

Status: no implementation guidance or decisions yet; discussion remains open with a pending request for more information.

We are a domestic and international shipping provider in Sri Lanka and we have developed location and delivery time based cost calculator API (along with creating shipping labels, tracking) for our clients who use woocommerce already. We are looking forward to setup same for clients who use shopify to automate their fulfilment process.

We do have a list of districts (same as states) and cities under them along with their postal codes (retrieved from the department of postal) for rate calculation if shopify needs update their system with same as well.

Could someone assist us on setting this up.

Thanks in advance.
