How to get Shipping method for an order?

[Homan Chou]

The order shows Shipping Method: Standard Shipping in Etsy, but the Receipt api response does not appear to have any Shipping Method information directly.  Is there a way to get this customer preference?

[Kevin Dickinson]

I would love to know the answer to this as well.

Hi all!

You should be able to retrieve this information using the shipments field for receipts. The array this returns is further explained in the ReceiptShipment portion of our documentation here: https://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/reference/receiptshipment

I hope this helps, but please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for your reply. It seems that you are perhaps suggesting that within the "ReceiptShipment" collection that "receipt_shipment_id" could be the information that I am looking for. However, this seems to be an internal int Id. Mainly I am looking for the "Shipping Upgrade Name". Can you please advise? Thank you

Hi Kevin,

It sounds like you may need to use the ShippingUpgrade method in this scenario. 

Unfortunately, at present, you're unable to query shipping upgrades chosen for a specific transaction, only the shipping upgrades offered on a given listing. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

I would encourage you to add this report to our public GitHub issues page here: https://github.com/etsy/etsyapi/issues

If we have any updates to share, we will post them directly on the issue on GitHub.

If you have any other questions that relate more to your specific app, you're also welcome to write to us directly at deve...@etsy.com

Reported! Thank you

Any update on this?

Do we have any update on this? The buyer selected shipping method is still not available through API right now. Any road map item for this?

The shipping template (profile) is available from the listings of a receipt's transactions.

Regarding the shipping upgrades: it's not documented but when GETting a receipt, the results array object contains:

    "shipping_details" : {
      "can_mark_as_shipped" : true,
      "was_shipped" : false,
      "is_future_shipment" : true,
      "not_shipped_state_display" : "Not Shipped",
      "has_upgrade" : true,
      "upgrade_name" : "Expedited 1 - 3 business day(s) from mailing date",
      "shipping_method" : "Expedited 1 - 3 business day(s) from mailing date"
    },

The "upgrade_name" or "shipping_method" field (no clue why two different fields for the same thing) contain what you POST in the "value" field for a ShippingUpgrade.
