You can either create many manual shipping methods, one for each cell of your matrix with the corresponding ranges setup and the system will filter the available shipping methods based on these ranges, or you can also develop a small shipping plugin to connect to that external API, provide it the necessary information and use the returned fee as price of the shipping method, like we did with the UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc plugins.

It all makes sense but I think there is a more simple solution. See in image attached - the costs are already being passed from the API to the custom field I created called Shipping. I have created a shipping method with the value of zero and didn't assign it to any vendor. All I am trying to do is pass this value to the actual shipping method. So Shipping Costs = value from shipping custom field. Hope that makes more sese ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/11.png ";)") Thanks - [ ![Screen_Shot_2016-07-23_at_15_02_09.jpg](/forum/attachment/32760) ](/forum/attachment/32760 "...t_15_02_09.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/32760?download=1 "...t_15_02_09.jpg") - [ ![Screen_Shot_2016-07-23_at_15_00_41.jpg](/forum/attachment/32761) ](/forum/attachment/32761 "...t_15_00_41.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/32761?download=1 "...t_15_00_41.jpg") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI4LXNoaXBwaW5nLW1ldGhvZHMvODg1NTgwLXNoaXBwaW5nLXZhbHVlLWZyby1leHRlcm5hbC1zb3VyY2U/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86290 - Thank you received: 14268 - - 10 years 3 months ago [\#246175](#246175) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Shipping Value Fro External Source](/forum/28-shipping-methods/885580-shipping-value-fro-external-source#246175 "-- HikaShop version -- : HikaShop Business 2.6.3 -- Joomla version -- : 3.5.1 -- PHP version -- : 7.07 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox 46 Hey I have an API that returns the value of shipping based on a matrix/calculation.

You can base your plugin off of this one which do something quite similar : [ www.hikashop.com/forum/taxes/873285-fix-tax-import.html#190511](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/taxes/873285-fix-tax-import.html#190511) It's indeed much simpler if you handle it that way.
