Overview
This node interacts with the OpenCart API to manage shipping-related operations within an e-commerce platform. Specifically, for the 'Shipping' resource and 'Get Methods' operation, it retrieves the available shipping methods configured in the OpenCart store. This is useful for workflows that need to dynamically fetch shipping options for orders or customers, such as during checkout processes or shipping method validations.
Use Case Examples
- A workflow that fetches available shipping methods to present options to a customer before finalizing an order.
- An automation that retrieves shipping methods to calculate shipping costs or validate shipping availability based on customer location.
