NAME

Shipment::Purolator - Interface to Purolator Shipping Web Services

ABOUT

This class provides an interface to the Purolator E-Ship Web Services.

For code examples, see https://github.com/pullingshots/Shipment/tree/master/eg

You must sign up for a development key in order to make use of this module.

https://eship.purolator.com

See related modules for documentation on options and how to access rates and labels:

Shipment::Base - common attributes and methods for all interfaces

Shipment::Address - define an from or to address

Shipment::Package - define package details, weight, dimensions, etc

Shipment::Service - access information about a service, rate, etd, etc

Shipment::Label - access the label file

It makes extensive use of SOAP::WSDL in order to create/decode xml requests and responses. The Shipment::UPS::WSDL interface was created primarily using the wsdl2perl.pl script from SOAP::WSDL.

Class Attributes

key, password

Credentials required to access Puroator E-Ship Web Services

proxy_domain

This determines whether you will use the Purolator testing environment (for development) or the production (live) environment * devwebservices.purolator.com (development) * webservices.purolator.com (production)

Shipment::Base type maps

Shipment::Base provides abstract types which need to be mapped to Purolator codes (i.e. package_type of "custom" maps to Purolator "CustomerPackaging")

printer types

Purolator does not offer true thermal printing, all labels are provided as pdfs, thermal labels are simply a 4x6 pdf.

default currency

The default currency is CAD

Class Methods

_build_services

This calls GetServicesOptions from the Service Availability API

Each Service that is returned is added to services

The following service mapping is used: * ground => PurolatorGround (when shipping within the same city this gets mapped to PurolatorExpress) * express => PurolatorExpress * priority => PurolatorExpress9AM/10:30AM/12:00/Evening (exact service depends on what is available)

All of the available service options are placed in the service->options hashref

rate

This method calls GetFullEstimate from the Estimating API

ship

This calls CreateShipment from the Shipping API

It also calls fetch_documents which is a separate method since Purolator does not return the label along with the create shipment response.

fetch_documents

Calls GetDocuments from the Shipping Documents API

Purolator returns all of the labels and required documents in a single pdf. Because of this, for a multi-piece shipment, calling

$shipment->get_package(0)->label-save;

will actually save a pdf file with all of the labels and documents. It is probably a better idea to make use of

$shipment->documents->save

cancel

Calls VoidShipment from the Shipping API

For multi-piece shipments, any 1 of the related tracking id's can be in $shipment->tracking_id. All related packages will be voided. There is no way to void a single package within a multi-piece shipment.

returns "true" if successful

This depends on calling Consolidate from the Shipping API which has not been implemented yet

Calls GetShipmentManifestDocument from the Shipping Documents API
