Set woocommerce shipping through meta data?

Hello,

I understand you would like to add shipping information from ERP to WooCommerce store.

First, you would like to reach out your ERP support in this case, they can provide you with more information.

If you are looking for a custom solution, you can use the WooCommerce Rest API, please note, while dedicated support for the REST API falls outside the scope of this support forum, the API documentation is available, so that a developer can do this job for you, for more information please check:

https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#introduction

I hope this helps.

Hi Igor,
thank you for your answer, could you though elaborate more on the meta data topic?

The questions are:

1.) Can I push the shipping information using meta data (the ERP supports custom fields that can be mapped to woocommerce meta names), or not?

2.) And if it cannot be done with meta data mapping, what is the approach I would need to take. Do I need to use php and pass some specific function/variable …?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to find out how to push the shipping information from our ERP into woocommerce

May I know which ERP are you using? Please let us know so that we can better assist you.

Hi Igor,
we are using weclapp.

We have in the meantime confirmed, that it is not possible with meta data, as woocommerce does not seem to support meta data for shipping. Why not?

So our plan is:

– add a custom field in our ERP system. Thus for each product we can set the exact name of the shipping class, as set up in Woocommerce.

– set a global product attribute in WooCommerce, where we push the name from ERP into

– tell WooCommerce, on change of the new article attribute to update the “shipping_class” of the corresponding article

– WooCommerce somehow, somewhere tells us, if all went ok, or if we picked a variable of the attribute that is not setup in the woocommerce shipping options

Any other ideas how to achieve this, or any idea how to go about programming this?

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the info.

Kindly note that Weclapp is a third-party service that is not developed or supported by WooCommerce. My recommendation is to reach out to the developer of this system, and they will be able to point you in the right direction.

This thread will be open for a bit since it is a development topic, so that anyone else will be able to make a comment and help.

I can also recommend you the following resources to get more information:

— The WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal.

— WooCommerce Facebook group.

— The #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack.
