Plans: All plans Platforms: All platforms

Overview



Integrate AfterShip Tracking with Salesforce Commerce Cloud to get memorable shipment tracking experience and swift delivery updates from 1000+ carriers like UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. without investing time or putting additional effort.

Steps to integrate Salesforce Commerce Cloud with AfterShip



Generate a new API Client ID


Go to the Account Manager settings
Click on the API Client and select Add API Client option
Fill in the fields mentioned under the General Settings

Note: Let the JWT and OpenID sections stay as it is

Choose the client_secret_basic option from the Token Endpoint Auth Method menu and select JWT from the Access Token Format
Click Save




Configure OCAPI settings



Go to the SFCC Business Manager > Administration > Site Development > Open Commerce API Settings

Shop API setting

The Select Type field is set to Shop by default, so just change the Select Context field to Global
Paste in the following JSON and replace the API version and Client ID. We support API versions 19.5 and above. Replace CLIENT_ID with the API Client ID generated from the API client setup in the previous step (this should look something like "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"), and Save it
