The "Ship&co Shipping" plugin integrates HikaShop with Ship&co, a multi-carrier shipping platform based in Japan. It connects your store to major Japanese and international carriers through a single API, with automatic rate retrieval, label generation, and tracking.
Features
- Automatic shipping rate retrieval at checkout from all carriers configured in your Ship&co account (Japan Post, Yamato, Sagawa, DHL, FedEx, UPS, and more).
- Shipment creation with label generation when orders are confirmed (automatic or manual from the admin).
- Demo mode: simulate API responses for testing without a carrier contract.
- Parcel tracking with status updates displayed in the admin order view, frontend order page, and order notification emails.
- Label download (PDF) directly from the admin order view.
- Ship&co status column in the backend order listing with action buttons.
- Full Ship&co panel on the backend order detail page with shipment info, tracking link, status, action buttons (download label, refresh tracking, delete shipment).
- Shipment deletion with the ability to create a new shipment for the same order.
- Proper shipping method name resolution for orders with multiple Ship&co carrier options.
- Multi-currency support with automatic conversion between API currency and store currency.

Configuration
- API token: your Ship&co API token (x-access-token).
- Test mode: when enabled, demo responses are used for testing without real carrier contracts.
- Sender name / company / address / city / province / country / postal code / phone / email: sender information used for rate calculation and shipment creation.
- Default weight: fallback weight in grams for products with no weight configured. Defaults to 0, meaning weightless products are considered virtual goods and excluded from shipping calculations.
