Custom Delivery Adapter
If you want total control of the provided delivery methods, you can build and host an own adapter that will empower Walley Checkout with delivery methods. This allows you to separate the items in the cart in multiple shipments, set specific pickup/delivery dates, add options to each delivery etc.
How to get started 🚀
- Contact Walley Merchant Services for help with setup in our test environment and for questions regarding integration with the Delivery Module.
- Build a delivery adapter (api) with an endpoint that Walley Checkout will do a GET request towards to get the delivery methods that should respond according to the response below. Use basic auth as authentication.
- Provide Walley Merchant Services with the adapter endpoint url, basic auth credentials as well as what fallback strategy to use.
