Eshopbox shipping App BRD
- Mituj Rana
Eshopbox's direct manifestation feature allows seamless Eshopbox shipping integration with third-party OMS tools. By leveraging the Eshopbox API for direct manifestation, users can streamline various tasks simultaneously. These tasks include creating a quick order, requesting shipment, and generating labels and manifests for orders efficiently.
API documentation:
Assumptions:
This API is designed for sellers who wish to ship their orders directly through Eshopbox Shipping without relying on Eshopbox WMS or the customer portal for order or return processing.
Eshopbox won’t generate invoice and will provide shipping label only.
Return can be created without forward order
Drop address of return can be different from forward delivery address.
Direct manifestation is exclusively offered for self-fulfillment locations that do not manage inventory.
Product:
Eshopbox will create the product in draft status.
Sales channel:
Eshopbox will automatically create a custom channel upon workspace creation.
The backend must uphold a default identifier for these channels.
If the channel is absent in the API, the order should be placed on the default custom channel.

In the direct manifestation API, Eshopbox will be asking for location code and location details (address, contact details, etc)
Case 1: If location code is available in Eshopbox, Eshopbox will use the details available in Eshopbox for pick up.
What will happen if inventory management is available for this location ?
Case 2: If the location code is not available in Eshopbox, it is necessary to provide additional location details. In such instances, Eshopbox will establish a self-fulfillment location within Eshopbox (without inventory management) and process the order.
Product:
Eshopbox will create the product in draft status.
How to identify if the order is already created in Eshopbox?
Using the channel ID and order number, Eshopbox will identify if order is already created in Eshopbox or not.
If already created and Ready to ship: Eshopbox will provide the shipping label for the existing order and won’t create any new order.
If already created and not Ready to ship: Eshopbox will mark the order as ready to ship and will generate the shipping label.
What if a seller has not location with “do not track inventory” and request direct manifestation for an order?
Eshopbox will give an error in this case ”You cannot directly request a shipping label for locations where you manage inventory.”
