Magento 2 API: Shipping and Billing Information
Vinh Jacker | 12-18-2024
After all the products have been added to the cart, you can start preparing the order for the checkout. In other words, you are going to set shipping and billing info. To finish this, you will have to go through three stages. In this post, I’ will guide you through an example of adding shipping information.
Let’s get started!

Adding Shipping and Billing Information via Magento 2 API in three steps:
- Step 1: Estimate shipping costs
- Step 2: Set shipping and billing information
- Step 3: Verify this step
Step 1: Estimate shipping costs
The shipping costs for each shipping method, which can be applied to the order are calculated by Magento. In today tutorial, you will use two shipping methods which are the flatrate ($5 per item) and tablerate.
Endpoint
POST <host>/rest/<store_code>/V1/carts/mine/estimate-shipping-methods
Headers
Content-Type application/json
Authorization Bearer <customer token>
Payload
The shipping address is contained in the payload.
Code sample
{ "address": {
"region": "New York",
"region_id": 43,
"region_code": "NY",
"country_id": "US",
"street": [
"123 Oak Ave"
],
"postcode": "10577",
"city": "Purchase",
"firstname": "Jane",
"lastname": "Doe",
"customer_id": 4,
"email": "jdoe@example.com",
"telephone": "(512) 555-1111",
"same_as_billing": 1
}
}
Response
Please remember that the flatrate shipping method’s cost is $15. The Sprite Yoga Companion Kit bundled product is counted as one item. Because the customer downloads the Advanced Pilates & Yoga item, it is not charged for shipping.
Code sample
[
{
"carrier_code": "flatrate",
"method_code": "flatrate",
"carrier_title": "Flat Rate",
"method_title": "Fixed",
"amount": 15,
"base_amount": 15,
"available": true,
"error_message": "",
"price_excl_tax": 15,
"price_incl_tax": 15
},
{
"carrier_code": "tablerate",
"method_code": "bestway",
"carrier_title": "Best Way",
"method_title": "Table Rate",
"amount": 5,
"base_amount": 5,
"available": true,
"error_message": "",
"price_excl_tax": 5,
"price_incl_tax": 5
}
]
Step 2: Set shipping and billing information
In this call, the shipping and billing addresses are specified. The selected carrier_code and method_code are also specified as well. Because the Table Rate shipping method only costs $5, this option was selected by the customer.
A list of payment options are returned and the order totals are calculated.
Endpoint
POST <host>/rest/<store_code>/V1/carts/mine/shipping-information
Headers
Content-Type application/json
Authorization Bearer <customer token>
Payload
Code sample
{ "addressInformation": {
"shipping_address": {
"region": "New York",
"region_id": 43,
"region_code": "NY",
"country_id": "US",
"street": [
"123 Oak Ave"
],
"postcode": "10577",
"city": "Purchase",
"firstname": "Jane",
"lastname": "Doe",
"email": "jdoe@example.com",
"telephone": "512-555-1111"
},
"billing_address": {
"region": "New York",
"region_id": 43,
"region_code": "NY",
"country_id": "US",
"street": [
"123 Oak Ave"
],
"postcode": "10577",
"city": "Purchase",
"firstname": "Jane",
"lastname": "Doe",
"email": "jdoe@example.com",
"telephone": "512-555-1111"
},
"shipping_carrier_code": "tablerate",
"shipping_method_code": "bestway"
}
}
Response
The order’s subtotal is $160, $5 is the shipping costs. And therefore, the grand total will be $165.
banktransfer and checkmo are the payment methods which are available. A payment method will be specified in the following step.

}
Step 3: Verify this step
To verify the step, you sign in as a customer, then go to the checkout page,
You should see Bank Transfer as the payment method, the billing and shipping addresses are displayed, and the costs for shipping have been calculated.
Congrats! You’ve finished all the necessary steps. Now, check the results to make sure everything works smoothly on your website, which doesn’t cause any trouble for your customers in shipping information later.
Configure shipping methods, rates, timeframe, & visibility based on weights, values, destination, SKU, and others
