Overview

This node interacts with the Shippo API to retrieve the default parcel template used at checkout. It is useful for workflows that need to automatically fetch shipping parcel details configured in Shippo, such as dimensions and weight defaults, which can then be used to calculate shipping rates or prepare shipments.

A practical example would be an e-commerce automation where, before creating a shipment label, the workflow fetches the default parcel template to ensure consistent packaging information is applied.

Properties

Name	Meaning
SHIPPO API VERSION	Optional string to specify a non-default Shippo API version to use for the request. If left empty, the default API version is used.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the default parcel template from Shippo. This typically includes fields such as parcel dimensions (length, width, height), weight, and possibly other metadata related to the parcel configuration.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

Requires an active Shippo API key credential to authenticate requests.
The node uses the Shippo REST API endpoint https://api.goshippo.com.
Optionally supports specifying a custom API version via the SHIPPO API VERSION property.
No additional environment variables are required beyond the API key credential.

Troubleshooting

Invalid API Key or Authentication Errors: Ensure the provided Shippo API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
Unsupported API Version: If specifying a custom API version, verify it exists and is supported by Shippo; otherwise, the request may fail.
Network Issues: Confirm network connectivity to api.goshippo.com.
Empty or Unexpected Response: Check if the Shippo account has a default parcel template configured; absence of one might result in empty or error responses.
