Shipping Settings

The shippingsettings resource lets you retrieve and update the shipping settings of your multi-client account (MCA) and all sub-accounts associated with it.

MCAs are usually used by integrators, aggregators, and channel partners who manage online stores and API services for multiple merchants. Merchants who have multiple online stores or brands which are sold on separate websites may also choose to have sub-accounts under a single MCA.

Google can update the estimated delivery time for some products automatically. See Enable automatic improvements for more details.

shippingsettings.list

shippingsettings.get

The shippingsettings.get call allows an MCA account to get shipping settings information for a single sub-account, or a standalone account to get its own account status information.

Use the following call in order to get the shipping settings information, where the merchantId is the MCA account number, and accountId is its sub-account. If the Merchant Center account is not a multi-client account, shippingsettings.get can still return shipping settings information. In this case, use the same Merchant Center account number for both merchantId and accountId parameters.

GET https://shoppingcontent.googleapis.com/content/v2.1/merchantId/shippingsettings/accountId

The following is a sample JSON response for a sub-account that has a Standard and Expedited shipping service configured from the MCA account used for the list call:

Set postal code groups

While it is convenient to build regions in Merchant Center, use the Content API to maintain accounts with multiple regions that frequently change.

The Shipping Settings service allows you to set, get, and update shipping settings and regions. In the API, regions are called postalCodeGroups.

"postalCodeGroups": [
  {
    "name": "string,
    "country": string,
    "postalCodeRanges": [
      {
        "postalCodeRangeBegin": string,
        "postalCodeRangeEnd": string
      }
    ]
  }
]

As in the UI, postalCodeGroups is a simple list of postal codes, postal code ranges, postal code prefixes, or prefix ranges.

Since regions are retrieved and set together with shipping settings, only filling the postalCodeGroups through the existing Shipping Settings resource deletes shipping services.

The right way of setting regions through the API is as follows:

Make a get call to retrieve all shipping services and postalCodeGroups (regions).
Copy the shipping services from the get call to the update call.
Remove the following entry from the request body if you do not use transit time labels in your shipping service:
```
"transitTimeLabels": [
    "all other labels"
],
```
Populate the regions in the postalCodeGroups section for the update call.
Make the update call with both the shipping services and postalCodeGroups sections populated.

The following is a sample update call request body from first get example used above with postalCodeGroups for Region 1 updated from 94035 to 94036:

Use pickup/collection points

For more information on pickup/collection-point orders, including how they differ from home delivery orders, and what pickup-specific information needs to be processed, see the Pickup/collection points guide.

Same day delivery

You can use the Content API for Shopping to configure same day delivery shipping services if you have local inventory.

Same day delivery shipping services have local_delivery as their shipmentType. All local_delivery shipping services are considered same day deliveries at this time. You can't change the deliveryTime information for local deliveries.

Use shippingsettings.update to set up same day delivery for your local inventory products.

Here's a sample request body that adds a same day delivery service to all stores for your account:

Update all values in the following sample before using it in your implementation.

{
   "accountId":"accountId",
   "services":[
      {
         "name": "Local Delivery",
         "active":true,
         "shipmentType":"local_delivery",
         "deliveryCountry":"US",
         "currency":"USD",
         "rateGroups":[
            {
               "singleValue":{
                  "flatRate":{
                     "value":"0",
                     "currency":"USD"
                  }
               }
            }
         ],
         "eligibility":"All scenarios",
         "storeConfig":{
            "storeServiceType":"all stores",
            "storeCodes":[
               
            ],
            "cutoffConfig":{
               "storeCloseOffsetHours":2,
               "no_delivery_post_cutoff":true
            },
            "serviceRadius":{
               "value":4,
               "unit":"Miles"
            }
         }
      }
   ]
}

Next day delivery

Orders placed after your same day delivery cutoff time are scheduled for next day delivery by default. To turn off next day delivery, set no_delivery_post_cutoff to true. If you turn off next day delivery, your shipping services are only visible before the cutoff time each day.

Next day delivery is available only when the shipmentType is local_delivery.

Testing

Since all items are in production, care should be taken to avoid changing anything important on items that are live, specifically with the update() method as this is the only one that changes existing values.
