README

Shippo is a shipping API that connects you with multiple shipping carriers (such as USPS, UPS, DHL, Canada Post, Australia Post, UberRUSH and many others) through one interface.

Print a shipping label in 10 mins using our default USPS and DHL Express accounts. No need to register for a carrier account to get started.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or later.

• Shippo account - free to sign up, free to use the API. Only pay to print a live label, test labels are free.

Installation

Installing using Composer

• Get Composer
• Install via: composer require ajohnson6494/shippo-php

Installing using Laravel

In Laravel you can install the library as normal. Then within you app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file's boot() method add the following:

use Shippo\Shippo;

Shippo::setApiKey(env('SHIPPO_API_KEY'));

To take advantage of configuration caching, you can set a config parameter in config/services.php and retrieve your API key through the configuration.

Shippo::setApiKey(config('services.shippo.key'));

From here you can use the Shippo library anywhere in your application without setting the key when accessing it.

Testing

After installing the dependencies above, the test suite may be run: ./vendor/bin/phpunit

You may also run individual tests: ./vendor/bin/phpunit AddressTest.php

Getting Started

Simple usage looks like:

  use Shippo\Shippo;
  use Shippo\Address;

  // Replace <API-KEY> with your Shippo API Key
  Shippo::setApiKey("<API-KEY>");

  $address = Address::create([
    'object_purpose' => 'QUOTE',
    'name' => 'John Smith',
    'company' => 'Initech',
    'street1' => '6512 Greene Rd.',
    'city' => 'Woodridge',
    'state' => 'IL',
    'zip' => '60517',
    'country' => 'US',
    'phone' => '773 353 2345',
    'email' => '[e-mail]',
    'metadata' => 'Customer ID 23424'
  ]);

  var_dump($address);
