Advanced Shiprocket Integration for Botble Maketplace By Viral Addons

🚀 Advanced Shiprocket Integration for Botble Marketplace By Viral Addons

Advanced Shiprocket Integration for Botble Marketplace By Viral Addons plugin integrates Shiprocket, India’s #1 eCommerce shipping solution, with your Botble store. It supports both Standard Ecommerce and Multi-Vendor Marketplace setups, allowing granular control over shipping logistics.

📌 Requirements

Mandatory: Botble Ecommerce CMS

Optional: Botble Marketplace (Only required if you want multi-vendor/seller features)

🏪 Marketplace / Vendor Support

Vendor-Specific Accounts: Empower your vendors to manage their own logistics. Vendors can link their own personal Shiprocket accounts via the Vendor Dashboard, ensuring they pay for their own shipping labels and manage their own wallet.

Isolated Operations & Data Security:

Admin Orders: Orders for the main store are processed via the Admin’s Shiprocket account.

Vendor Orders: Orders for a vendor are processed via that specific vendor’s Shiprocket account.

Data from one vendor never leaks to another.

Strict Mode for Vendors: Prevent shipping conflicts. When a vendor enables Shiprocket, the system automatically hides all other basic shipping methods (like Table Rate or Flat Rate) for that vendor’s products. This ensures the only shipping option available is the accurate, weight-based Shiprocket rate.

Vendor-Controlled Free Shipping: Allow vendors to run their own promotions. Vendors can set their own “Free Shipping” rules (for example, “Free Shipping on orders over ₹999”) with a custom title. This overrides the API rate calculation when the condition is met, giving vendors marketing flexibility.

Pickup Location Sync: Ensure accurate logistics. Both admins and vendors can sync and select their specific warehouse or pickup locations directly from a dropdown in their respective settings panels, ensuring couriers arrive at the correct address for pickup.
