Multiple Shipping Addresses and Methods

Introduction

With Composable Commerce you have multiple ways of arranging shipping to different addresses. In this tutorial, you will learn when to use either multiple shipping addresses or multiple Shipping Methods for specific use cases.

Multiple shipping addresses are useful when you can deliver all items using a single Shipping Method. For example, a customer wishes to ship three items in their Order to three separate addresses, all using express delivery.

Multiple Shipping Methods are useful when you want to offer your customers more than one fulfillment method for their items in the same Order. For example, a customer wants to collect some items in person, and have the rest sent by express delivery. Another use case is when you need to mail some items of an Order using standard delivery and others using express delivery.

When shipping to multiple addresses, it's important to familiarize yourself with how tax calculation is handled by Composable Commerce.

Prerequisites

In this tutorial, we'll use a Project that has been pre-configured with sample data. The option of using sample data is available to you when you initially set up your Project in the Merchant Center.

To follow the tutorial steps, you should have the following:

  • A commercetools Composable Commerce Project that uses the pre-configured sample data
  • Access to the Merchant Center

To reduce the length of example JSON responses, some fields that are not relevant to this tutorial have been removed or replaced with // ..

Use cases

Using multiple shipping addresses

In this example, a customer is ordering three items as gifts and wants to ship each item to a different friend. To accomplish this, we will create a Cart, add shipping addresses, and then set the shipping details of the individual Line Items.

Create Cart

To create a Cart, we'll use the following CartDraft containing a single Line Item using the sku of a ProductVariant, and a quantity set to three.

CartDraftjson
{
"type": "Cart",
"id": "926f58d2-b6b3-447c-8988-c55fc2d51ffe",

],
"cartState": "Active",
"totalPrice": {
"type": "centPrecision",
"currencyCode": "EUR",
"centAmount": 39600,

"taxCalculationMode": "LineItemLevel",
"deleteDaysAfterLastModification": 90,
"refusedGifts": [],
"origin": "Customer",
"itemShippingAddresses": [],
"totalLineItemQuantity": 3
}

After you've created your Cart, check the response and take note of the id value of the Line Item (lineItems[0].id). Later, we'll use this value to set the LineItem's shipping details.

Add addresses

Next, we need to add our three shipping addresses to the Cart, each with a unique key, using the Add ItemShippingAddress update action. This update action adds the addresses to the Cart's itemShippingAddresses property, which serves as the complete set of addresses available for use by the Cart.

Add ItemShippingAddress update actionjson
{
"version": 1,
"actions": [
{
"action": "addItemShippingAddress",
"address": {
"key": "friend-1",
"streetName": "Street Name",
"streetNumber": "16",
"city": "Vienna",
"country": "AT"
}
},
{
"action": "addItemShippingAddress",
"address": {
"key": "friend-2",
"streetName": "Street Name",
"streetNumber": "21",
"city": "Rotterdam",
"country": "NL"
}
},
{
"action": "addItemShippingAddress",
"address": {
"key": "friend-3",
"streetName": "Street Name",
"streetNumber": "52",
"city": "Berlin",
"country": "DE"
}
}
]
}

Set the shipping details of Line Items

Now that our addresses are present in the Cart's itemShippingAddresses field, we can assign them to the individual Line Items using the Set LineItemShippingDetails update action.

Since the customer is buying the same item three times, this update action sets the quantity to be sent to each address, identified by their unique key.

In the following update action, you must replace the lineItemId value with the lineItems[0].id value that you received during Cart creation.

SetLineItemShippingDetails update actionjson
{
"version": 5,
"actions": [
{
"action": "setLineItemShippingDetails",
"lineItemId": "{lineItemId}",
"shippingDetails": {
"targets": [
{
"addressKey": "friend-1",
"quantity": 1
},
{
"addressKey": "friend-2",
"quantity": 1
},
{
"addressKey": "friend-3",
"quantity": 1
}
]
}
}
]
}

After associating our shipping address and quantity to the Line Item, our Cart looks like this:

When you use the default ShippingMode Single, you must set the shippingAddress field directly on the Cart. In this case, the shippingAddress determines the Tax Rate applied to each Line Item and the shipping rate. To do this, use the Set Shipping Address update action.

At this point, you can create an Order from the Cart.

For more information on how Composable Commerce calculates tax using the shippingAddress field, see Cart tax rate selection.

Using multiple Shipping Methods

In the following example, a customer is ordering a coffee table, a rug, and a teapot from a Scandinavian furniture company.

Based on the customer's delivery preferences as well as the weight, availability, and insurance requirements, the order will be dispatched as follows:

  • The coffee table will be picked up by the customer directly from the store.
  • The rug will sent through the regular postal service.
  • The teapot will be sent through an express delivery service.

Create the Shipping Methods

First, we need to create three Shipping Methods with the following names and keys. Later, these keys will be used as the shippingKey in update actions.

Shipping method nameKey
Collect in storecollect-in-store
Postal servicepostal-service
Next day deliverynext-day-delivery

Using the Merchant Center, follow these steps for each Shipping Method:

  1. Go to Project settings > Shipping methods.
  2. Click Add shipping method.
  3. Add a Shipping method name, Key, and select a Tax category.
  4. Click Add zone, and select EU and UK from the zone dropdown.
  5. Click Add currency-specific rates and enter a fictitious shipping rate amount in EUR.
  6. Click Create shipping method.

Create Cart

Next, create a Cart that contains all three items with the following CartDraft. The Line Items are added using the sku of each ProductVariant.

We set the ShippingMode to Multiple (the default value is Single) because we are using more than one fulfillment method. Also, we add an address to the itemShippingAddresses that contains a unique key. This address and key combination is used later to define the shipping details of our individual Line Items.

Add Shipping Methods to the Cart

Next, add the Shipping Methods to the Cart with the Add Shipping Method update action. You will need to specify a shippingAddress for each Shipping Method defined inside the update action. We recommend that you provide a key for the shippingAddress that matches the key found in the corresponding address listed in itemShippingAddresses. The shippingAddress is used later to calculate tax for any associated Line Item(s), or sub-quantities of a Line Item.

The following example requires the project specific id for each Shipping Method. Use the Get a ShippingMethod by Key endpoint to retrieve the id for each of the Shipping Methods that you previously created, then update the example accordingly.

Associate Line Items with Shipping Methods

Finally, we need to assign a Shipping Method to each Line Item. To do this, use the Set LineItemShippingDetails update action.

  • The addressKey links the Line Item to an address found in the Cart's itemShippingAddresses field.
  • The shippingMethodKey links the Line Item to a specific Shipping Method.

In the following example, set the lineItemId value to match the respective id values in the lineItems array from when you created the Cart.

Set LineItem Shipping Details update actionjson
{
"version": 1,
"actions": [
{
"action": "setLineItemShippingDetails",
"lineItemId": "{lineItemId}",
"shippingDetails": {
"targets": [
{
"addressKey": "address-key-berlin",
"shippingMethodKey": "collect-in-store",
"quantity": 1
}
]
}
},
{
"action": "setLineItemShippingDetails",
"lineItemId": "{lineItemId}",
"shippingDetails": {
"targets": [
{
"addressKey": "address-key-berlin",
"shippingMethodKey": "postal-service",
"quantity": 1
}
]
}
},
{
"action": "setLineItemShippingDetails",
"lineItemId": "{lineItemId}",
"shippingDetails": {
"targets": [
{
"addressKey": "address-key-berlin",
"shippingMethodKey": "next-day-delivery",
"quantity": 1
}
]
}
}
]
}

With each Line Item now associated with a fulfillment address and Shipping Method, you can proceed to create an Order from the Cart.
