Canada Post has an API key for shipping for me...now how do I integrate that into Wix?

As someone starting up an eCommerce site with Wix, I have to say I’m getting a little frustrated. You have a shipping calculator for US only. There must be a simple solution for getting shipping information into the checkout for customers. I can’t be the only Canadian person trying to sell on Wix. Canada post has an API key for me, which I assume can plug in somewhere into the site code?

Any help would be appreciated. At the end of my rope.

Hi Doug,

Sorry to hear you having trouble configuring your shipping settings. It is unclear which App you are using for your eCommerce so I am going to assume it is Wix Stores App. Is that correct?

If yes, this is a non-Corvid topic so you may want to contact Wix Support for assistance with this because forum is dedicated to Corvid topics only. Just in case, here is the Wix Support section where you can find more information on setting up shipping for Wix Stores and which providers are compatible with Wix Stores that real time auto calculation of shipping costs: https://support.wix.com/en/wix-stores/setting-up-shipping

Know that you can use any store app with your Wix site (it does not have to be Wix Stores App). Not all apps are created equal. Make sure to research and find out what each app has to offer before you decide which app is best for you and your website. There are other store apps like, Ecwid , that can be found in the Wix app marketplace that offer other shipping integrations. The Ecwid app seems to have what you are looking for: https://support.ecwid.com/hc/en-us/articles/207100589-Canada-Post ( Their customer support may be able to help additional questions you may have. )

Now to answer your Corvid re-lated question: It is not possible to change or customize the shipping calculations via code at this time. If you want to customize this using an API then you would have to build your entire store from scratch and/or create a hybrid of your existing store to create your own custom checkout interface. It is not ‘plug and play’ as you mentioned above. It will require advanced coding skills and a little time to accomplish this.

I hope you find the answers you were looking for. Good luck on your project!

thx

I am having the same problem! I am getting really frustrated. All my site is done, I completly did my template and discover now that Wix doesn’t include a system for us. I need the Canada post system included. :frowning:

Has anyone figured out how to integrate Canada Post into their site without using ShipStation and paying the ridiculous monthly fee for getting a shipping estimate?

Did you find a solution to this ?

Hi @dougblittle @jkachur99 @claudinesophiejamois , please see https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/spis/getting-started/ecommerce-shipping-rates for custom integration with Shipping Rates.

If you do not know about coding, please consider visiting Wix marketplace to hire a developer so you don’t have to pay monthly/yearly for apps.

I’ve reached out a third party developed to hire this out but they told me this wasn’t an option…any idea if that’s true?

It is likely the dev does not know this, but wanted to bring you to another platform that the dev can do. If the dev is from Wix Marketplace, you can report that to Wix support.
