Oracle Retail Order Management uses shipping methods that are identified by unique integers. You can configure multiple shipping methods. For integration, Commerce Cloud shipping methods are mapped to Oracle Retail Order Management numeric shipping methods.

The shipping methods are sent to Oracle Retail Order Management during fulfillment. Commerce Cloud and Oracle Retail Order Management shipping methods should be synchronized. These mapping ensure that the orders created on Commerce Cloud refer to and use similar shipping method chosen by the customer for shipping.

You can obtain a list of the shipping methods available by calling the following endpoint:

GET /ccadmin/v1/merchant/shippingMethods

This returns a list of available shipping methods. The response also includes information on each shipping method, and the repository ID of the shipping method. The repository ID identifies the shipping method code to use. The following example displays a partial response that identifies a ground shipping method:

    "enabled": true,
    "displaySequence": 0,
    "eligibleForProductWithSurcharges": false,
    "ranges": [
      {
        "amount": 4.75,
        "high": 14.99,
        "low": 0,
        "repositoryId": "groundRange1"
      }

Once you have obtained the repository ID, use it to map the shipping method:

Shipping methods are set up and configured using the Shipping Methods setting, which is described in Using Oracle Commerce Cloud. For information for integrating with external shipping systems, refer to Extending Oracle Commerce Cloud. For information on Oracle Retail Order Management shipping methods, refer to the Oracle Retail Order Management documentation.

External Shipping Methods

Commerce Cloud supports external shipping methods. However, these shipping methods may not be available in the list of shipping methods displayed in the administration interface when configuring your Oracle Retail Order Management integration. To use the shipping methods for your external system you must add them to the Shipping Methods mapping table.

Once all of the integration parameters have been configured and saved, the integration process can occur.
