Get shipping prices for a destination and weight

try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);} catch (error) { console.error(error);}curl --request POST \ --url https://api.partners.collaterate.com/v1/shipping/quote \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "siteId": 42, "shipTo": { "country": "US", "state": "MN", "postalCode": "55416" }, "weightOunces": 37.5 }'The delivery half of a quote. POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote prices the goods;
this prices getting them to an address, and returns one price per shipping service the
site offers for that destination.
weightOunces is yours to supply, and this API deliberately will not compute it.
The catalog’s own weight field – published by GET /v1/products and on each variant
of GET /v1/products/{productId} – is recorded in the catalog’s own unit, and the
platform stores no unit anywhere: no unit column, no per-site setting, no documented
convention. Converting it to ounces would mean inventing a conversion factor, and a
wrong factor does not produce an error, it produces a plausible shipping price that is
wrong by a constant multiple on every quote. So this endpoint asks, because we genuinely
do not know. If you know what unit your own products are kept in, weight x quantity,
converted once by you, is exactly the number to send.
siteId is required. Unlike the product quote – where the SLO_/SLS_ id names
exactly one site – shipping is priced from SITE configuration (which carriers are
enabled, negotiated rates, the site’s own custom shipping options), and productId here
is optional, so there is nothing else to resolve it from.
productId is optional and, when sent, selects the fulfilment centre the shipment would
originate from, making the quote origin-correct. It must belong to the siteId you sent.
Requires partner-api/products:read – the same scope as the product quote, because a
quote is a read that happens to be a POST.
Authorizations
Section titled “Authorizations”Request Bodyrequired
Section titled “Request Bodyrequired”POST /v1/shipping/quote. Unknown properties are refused by name rather than ignored,
both here and inside shipTo.
object
Which of your granted sites to price against. Required: shipping is priced from site
configuration – enabled carriers, negotiated rates, the site’s own custom shipping
options – and productId is optional, so there is nothing else to resolve it from.
A site outside your grant answers 400 invalid_site_id.
Where the shipment is going. The three fields of ShipTo that a carrier actually rates
on – there is no name, address1 or city here, because a quote does not need a
recipient and this endpoint has no reason to collect end-customer details.
country and state are the same CODES the rest of this API uses: the two-letter code
you send on POST /v1/orders, and the same values GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/shipments
answers with. They are resolved to Collaterate’s own identifiers on our side; state codes
are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries.
object
Two-letter country code, e.g. US, CA, MX.
State or province abbreviation, as spelled within that country, e.g. MN, ON.
Required: Collaterate rates on a state, and the code you send is looked up inside
the country you sent, so BC means British Columbia under CA and Baja California
under MX.
Destination postal code, sent to the carrier as given. A code that does not exist in
that country comes back as 422 shipping_quote_unavailable with the carrier’s own
message, not as a validation error here.
Total shipment weight in OUNCES. Required, and deliberately not derived from the
catalog: Product.weight is recorded in the catalog’s own unit and the platform
stores no unit anywhere, so converting it here would mean inventing a factor and
producing a plausible, silently wrong price. Multiply the per-unit weight by your
quantity and convert it yourself, in the unit you know your products are kept in.
Decimal, not an integer – half an ounce is a real parcel weight. The upper bound is a sanity guard against a transposed decimal point, not a carrier limit; carriers refuse what they refuse and say so.
Optional in the schema, but IN PRACTICE YOU ALMOST CERTAINLY NEED TO SEND IT. It selects the fulfilment centre the shipment would originate from, and Collaterate prices from that origin.
Omitting it returns no priced service at all – 422 shipping_quote_unavailable,
with no reason given. Measured 2026-08-18 against five different sites and several
weights and destinations: every request without productId came back with an empty
service list. There is no “site default origin” for it to fall back to. Send the
product you intend to ship.
Sending it is still not a guarantee: the quote also depends on the fulfilment centre
that product resolves to being configured for shipping, and some are not. A product
whose fulfilment centre cannot be priced returns the same empty 422.
Must be a product on the siteId you sent – a product from another of your sites
answers 404 product_not_found, the same as one you were never granted.
Examples
{ "siteId": 42, "shipTo": { "country": "US", "state": "MN", "postalCode": "55416" }, "weightOunces": 37.5}Quote from the product's own fulfilment centre
{ "siteId": 42, "productId": "SLS_918273", "shipTo": { "country": "US", "state": "MN", "postalCode": "55416" }, "weightOunces": 37.5}Responses
Section titled “Responses”At least one shipping service was priced. quotes is never empty on a 200 – a
destination nothing could be shipped to answers 422 shipping_quote_unavailable
instead, so an empty array never has to be told apart from a real answer.
POST /v1/shipping/quote – one price per shipping service the site offers.
object
Never empty on a 200. When nothing could be priced the response is
422 shipping_quote_unavailable instead, so you never have to tell an empty array
apart from a real one.
One priced shipping service.
Collaterate’s own service id and its “is this a carrier service or one of the site’s
custom options” flag are deliberately NOT published: the id is a monolith surrogate key
that nothing in this API accepts back (POST /v1/orders carries no service selection),
and the flag describes how Collaterate is configured rather than what you are buying.
object
The carrier service as Collaterate names it – what to show a customer.
The price for this service, as a decimal string – the same rule every money field in this API follows. Never parse it into a float.
Collaterate’s own reasons that some option could not be priced. Non-empty here means a PARTIAL result – at least one service priced and at least one did not, typically one carrier failing while others answered. Display text, not codes: do not branch on it.
Informational notes Collaterate attached to the quote, intended for display. Never errors. Display text, not codes.

400 | The order number in the path is not a positive integer. | No – fix the path. |
invalid_product_id |
400 | The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_service_type |
400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |
No. |
submission_not_found |
404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.

Produced by the API gateway’s authorizer, before the request reaches any application
code, so every cause – no Authorization header, a malformed one, a token that is
expired, wrongly signed, from the wrong pool, or belongs to a credential that has been
disabled – yields this identical response. The gateway is configured to answer in the
same application/problem+json shape as everything else, so you do not need a second
parser for this status; what it cannot do is tell you which of those causes applied.

409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.
object
Always the literal string about:blank today; reserved by RFC 9457 for future use.
Short, human-readable summary of the HTTP status (e.g. “Not Found”).
The HTTP status code, repeated in the body for convenience.
Stable, machine-readable error identifier. Safe to branch on. See the table above.
Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.
Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.
Example
{ "type": "about:blank", "title": "Forbidden", "status": 403, "code": "insufficient_scope", "detail": "This request requires the \"partner-api/orders:read\" scope.", "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."}You sent a productId that does not exist, sits outside your granted sites, or
belongs to a different site than the siteId you sent. All three answer identically
(product_not_found); see the tenancy guide.
RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable,
machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a
human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.
This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below,
and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares
the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and
not the other fails the build rather than shipping.

code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.

Short, human-readable summary of the HTTP status (e.g. “Not Found”).
The HTTP status code, repeated in the body for convenience.
Stable, machine-readable error identifier. Safe to branch on. See the table above.
Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.
Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.
Example
{ "type": "about:blank", "title": "Too Many Requests", "status": 429, "code": "rate_limit_exceeded", "detail": "The request rate limit has been exceeded. Retry after the indicated delay.", "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."}Headers
Section titled “Headers”Seconds to wait before retrying.
An unexpected server-side failure. detail is always the fixed string below and never
the underlying error – a database message quoted back to a partner is a disclosure,
so nothing is interpolated into it. The requestId resolves to the log entry that does
carry the cause; send it to Partner Integrations rather than guessing.
RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable,
machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a
human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.
This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below,
and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares
the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and
not the other fails the build rather than shipping.
Published code values:
code |
HTTP status | Meaning | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
invalid_cursor |
400 | The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. |
No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value. |
invalid_site_id |
400 | The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. |
No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds. |
invalid_order_number |
400 | The order number in the path is not a positive integer. | No – fix the path. |
invalid_product_id |
400 | The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_service_type |
400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |
No. |
submission_not_found |
404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
