Shiprocket API Integration on Laravel – Multivendor Ecommerce Platform.
Project detail
Implementing the ShipRocket API on a multi-vendor e-commerce platform involves some additional steps to account for the multiple vendors and the need to separate their shipping and tracking information. Here are some general steps you can follow:
1. Create a new database table to store the vendors’ shipping information, such as their shipping address, preferred carrier, and API key for ShipRocket.
2. In the vendor registration or profile update process, include fields for the vendors to enter their shipping information and store it in the database table.
3. When a customer places an order on the platform, retrieve the vendor’s shipping information from the database table and use it to make the appropriate API calls to ShipRocket.
4. In the order management section of the platform, include a way for vendors to track their shipments and view shipping labels, using the tracking information returned by the ShipRocket API.
5. Use ShipRocket’s webhook feature to receive real-time notifications of changes to an order’s status, and update the order status in the platform’s database accordingly.
6. Create a separate section in the platform’s analytics dashboard for vendors to view their shipping data, such as shipping cost, delivery times, and more.
7. To ensure that the integration is working smoothly and to troubleshoot any issues that may arise, you should regularly monitor the integration and keep track of any error messages or unexpected behavior.
As you can see, the key point is to have separated information for each vendor, and using it accordingly, to avoid confusion and guarantee the correct delivery of the products.
