Hi, I have an upgraded easyship account and I need to make recurring 2-way api calls between freshdesk api and easyship api. This is an actual example of the api call to easyship from a freshdesk sales agent for my company to retrieve shipping rates for a customer order: POST /2023-01/rates HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer prod_k31AsLGnjnDLBwvRQXCozN6EQ0eic6aG88lA7LWc42I= Host: api.easyship.com Content-Length: 987 {"origin_address":{"line_1":"13734 Bermuda Cay Ct","state":"FL","city":"Jacksonville","postal_code":"32225","country_alpha2":"US","company_name":"Quick Shaver LLC","contact_name":"Attn Wes Krosnick","contact_phone":"9043801159","contact_email":"[email protected]"},"destination_address":{"line_1":"19 Gaywood Cr","state":"AL","city":"Birmingham","postal_code":"36213","contact_name":"George Brown","contact_phone":"‭9045531910‬","country_alpha2":"US"},"insurance":{"is_insured":false},"courier_selection":{"apply_shipping_rules":true},"shipping_settings":{"units":{"weight":"lb","dimension":"in"},"output_currency":"USD"},"parcels":[{"box":{"slug":"bubble-shipping-bag","length":17,"width":9,"height":4},"items":[{"quantity":1,"dimensions":{"length":11,"width":9,"height":4},"description":"Electric Shaver","category":"health_beauty","sku":"QS-3300","hs_code":"8510.10.00","origin_country_alpha2":"US","declared_currency":"USD","declared_customs_value":59.95}],"total_actual_weight":2}]} This is the api call to freshdesk from easyship in direct and immediate response to the above api call. It updates my agent's shipping dropdown menu options in his sales ticket to give the customer his shipping courier and rate options from inside the freshdesk interface: curl -v -u MYAPIKEY:X -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{ "label_for_customers":"Shipping", "label":"Shipping", "position": 17, "choices":[{ "deleted":true,"id":53 },{ "deleted":true,"id":54 },{ "deleted":true,"id":55 },{ "value":"$5.08 - USPS Priority - 2-10 days", "position":1 },{ "value":"$7.82 - USPS Media - 2-3 days", "position":2 },{ "value":"$15.08 - UPS Ground - 3 days", "position":3 }] }' 'https://MYDOMAIN.freshdesk.com/api/v2/admin/ticket_fields/151000699500' This requires some custom coding to insert data from the easyship api response data into this freshdesk api call and also requires the persistent storage of field id numbers in the call to increment them each time the api call is made. Are you able and willing to do this?

I'd like the sellers on my marketplace to be able to ship from almost all major companies in Europe. Problem I'm having is that although i have added an italian address to my accounts list of addresses, I'm not getting any couriers that would match. Is this something i would need an EasyShip Plus account for? I'm slightly confused why UPS doesn't offer shipping in italy? Also on this page, https://app.easyship.com/couriers , when I click the country dropdown, italy does not display.

I'm attempting to a build an integration of EasyShip into a new marketplace. For some reason the rates calculator is always returning a total cost much higher then my client would expect to pay. These are the sort of rates I was hoping to get returned: https://www.easyship.com/en-gb/shipping-rate-calculator/unitedkingdom-to-germany?weight=1&weight_unit=kg&category_slug=sport_leisure&width=11&height=6&length=16&dimension_unit=in&range=%3C100 However, using the rates API, I get £46 returned. See below: Sender Address: Kamminer Str. 24 Berlin 10589 Germany - Paul Ship To Country: United Kingdom Category/HS Code: Sport & Leisure Box Name: Custom Box Box Dimensions: 20 x 20 x 20 cm Weight: 1 kg Currency: GBP Is there a setting that could be causing this difference?

It's apparently not as easy as copying the Easyship Access Token into the shipping tab of our WooCommerce. Currently the new site is successfully pulling rates from our Easyship, and orders are going through, but I have not been able to successfully pull orders from the website into our Easyship account to start printing labels. It seems, somehow, that I have to tell Easyship where to point to to retrieve shipping information. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Hello, it seems HS codes are going to be more stringent and required on international shipments from March, our courrier account managers have told us.... We are already using the general available categories using the default fallback catch all for all our items. Looking at the docs we are able to send a predetermined category string when creating a shipment https://developers.easyship.com/v1.0/reference/create-a-shipment However is it possible to send an actual HS code? Looking at the list of 'Toy' categories, there are a huge number of sub categories, https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/9503 From my current understanding, the Easyship dedicated HS code for the Toy category is HS#95030099 (Toy, Other, Other) Say for example, we wish to send the HS code HS#95030069 (Toy, Puzzle, Other) How would we do this as it does not seem possible apart from manually creating a label Thank you if you can advise, or if you are able to say with confidence that the generalised HS code categories are enough to cover all types of products and there should be no issue exporting (to the customer) without specifying the detailed category at a B2C level. Best regards

Thank for all! Currently, I can create a shipment with address info like as: line_1: "231/1 Chiến LượcBình Trị Đông, Bình Tân, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh", state: "0", city: "0", country_alpha2: "VN". Is correct data to ship product from original address(shop) to customer with address above(It mean address info of customer in shipment create body request)?

https://developers.easyship.com/reference/shipments_create clearly shows that the phone contact is not required for destination address but when creating a shipment in sandbox is can't be null or blank. I do not want to collect phone numbers of my customers just to ship to them. Why is it not consistent?

Hi! How I can connect directly Easyship and power bi. I need to create dashboards based on your data.

Hello, we are unable to generate label and we are receiving "undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass" error. We also noticed that the country in the response for the origin address is United States although it is sent in the request as GB (United Kingdom). Can someone please help us generate a label?
