Hi,

It requires developing a plugin for HikaShop. We have a developer documentation available here:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...r-documentation.html
If you want the integration plugin to get the rates from goshipppo.com in order to propose them during the checkout, you'll want to develop the plugin as a shipping plugin. You can take an example on the USPS, UPS, FedEx, Australia POst v2 plugins included in HikaShop. They are located in the folder plugins/hikashopshipping/ of your website when HikaShop is installed.
Then, to send the data of the order after the checkout to goshippo.com you want to implement the "onAfterOrderUpdate" event. I would recommend looking at the Matomo plugin for an example of this: www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/271-matomo.html
A shipping plugin can do both tasks.

If ever I would like this plug-in to be customized - where to do I request for customization? and how much?

Hi,

You mean you want someone to develop it for you ?
Any skilled PHP developer can develop the plugin using the PHP SDK and API documentation proposed by shippo and the information I gave in my previous message.
Now, there are already many developers who developed plugins for HikaShop in the past so you could first check with them if they are available. For example: tsukidev.com/ www.brainforge.co.uk/ www.webit.bz/ to name a few.
Also, any developer specialized in Joomla development will have no problem with this. You could ask on www.facebook.com/groups/joomlanospam as many of them are in that group.
