Shipping and Other Charges

These charges are maintained for each transaction line.

To include a shipping charge for a transaction line, you add the product_class=S field and the rest of the details.

If you do use product_class=S, you must ensure that there is also an equivalent line for physical goods (product_class=P) that shares at least one of the following. Both lines must be included in the same Transaction object in the same request.

The same consignment ID is used by both transaction lines. You can use the consignment_id field to specify an ID that groups transaction lines that belong to the same consignment together.
The same ship from information is used in each line.

The following example shows you can model a shipping charge by using the same ship_from_address:

{
    "transaction": {
        "currency_code": "EUR",
        "buyer_name": "Eric Papin",
        "ship_to_address": {

                }
            },
            {

                },
                "ship_from_address": {
                    "building_number": "12",
                    "street_name": "Wessex End Street",

                }
