Shipping Plugin for Australia using SENDLE

Hi

Searched the forums and noticed someone last year request if SENDLE could be incorporated as one of the shipping options.

For anyone with an Australian Hikashop, we have been using SENDLE since they started and the prices, services, etc are really good and really easy to organize and MUCH better than Australia Post.

I haven't worked out how to manually set it up in Hikashop as too many options BUT they have now come out with an API so not sure how hard it is for this to be incorporated in Hikashop.

api-doc.sendle.com/

They offer a number of services but for Hikashop, we just need the shipping price to come out as a price (a quote).

Ultimately, it would be great to be able to send information to Sendle to book the service but if that is the case, I would want it to sit in Sendle as a tentative order so that it can be checked prior to confirmation.

Is SENDLE something that Aussie users are interested in and need to vote on before it can be incorporated in Hika.

Hi,

The HikaShop TODO list for payment and shipping plugin is already huge and we currently do not have the internal time to implement new plugins ; we are more focusing on the improvement of the HikaShop core (like you can see with HikaShop 3).

Now regarding the sendle API ; I don't see any real problem in the development of such quote shipping plugin for HikaShop.
We have a developer page which explain the basic of plugin development for HIkaShop :
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...r-documentation.html
Some HikaShop shipping plugins can be used a base for a new shipping plugin ; the hikashopShippingPlugin interface is providing a lot of pre-set functions.
You can also find some shipping plugins in our github : github.com/HikaShop

If you do not have development skills ; we have some HikaShop partners.
www.hikashop.com/home/our-partners.html
Afterwards, you can also contact the team using the "contact us" form in order to know if someone in the team could be available for a custom development. Right now I can't say for the others.

By the way, do not send me private message, use the "contact us" form instead.

Hello softwarehtec,

That's great, thanks !
I checked a bit your code and I saw that you do not perform a loop on the "$packages" from the "getOrderPackages" function.
If the variant is just one package, you see the variable $packages but if you do not find it, it means that you have several packages and you'll need to perform a loop on it.
Thanks to that, you will support the cases when the customer have a lot of products and his order must send over several boxes.

Hi softwarehtec
thank you for posting and adding :) I have been looking for this for a while and was about to commit to ask for a development. I am sure there are a number of users who will welcome this news.
Are you able to add the requested loop suggested by jerome?

That's great !

I've added the link to the shipping plugin in the shipping section on the documentation page of our website.
That way, other people interested will be able to find it more easily.

Hi

It has been awhile since the last post and Sendle.

Have tried it on latest Joomla and Hikashop version and it does not seem to work. Have the correct API details, its published, and correct details are filled in on the front end regarding addresses - but sendle never shows up as an option. All the products have weights and volumes. All other types of shipping options appear - pickup option and Australia Post. Can' find any help file on how to use it.

Would it be that it doesn't work with the latest version of Joomla?
