Vendure SendCloud plugin

This plugin syncs orders to the SendCloud fulfillment platform.

How it works

When an order is placed, it is automatically sent to SendCloud as a parcel (for label creation).
The order stays in PaymentSettled state in Vendure — no fulfillment is created at this point.
Once an order has been sent to SendCloud, SendCloud is responsible for tracking status. The Vendure order will simply be transitioned to Delivered by the included scheduled task. This is because orders are sometimes cancelled and duplicated in Sendcloud, resulting in misaligned stock.

Getting started

Add the plugin to your vendure-config.ts:

plugins: [
  SendcloudPlugin.init({}),
  ...
]

Add the SendCloud Ui to the Vendure admin:

AdminUiPlugin.init({
  port: 3002,
  route: 'admin',
  app: compileUiExtensions({
    outputPath: path.join(__dirname, '__admin-ui'),
    extensions: [SendcloudPlugin.ui],
  }),
}),

Run a DB migration to add the new SendCloudConfigEntity to the database.
Go to your SendCloud account and go to Settings > Integrations and create an integration.
Write down the secret and publicKey of the created integration.
Start Vendure and login as admin.
Make sure you have the permission SetSendCloudConfig.
Go to Settings > SendCloud.
Fill in your SendCloud secret and public key here and click save.
Additionally, you can set a fallback phone number, for when a customer hasn't filled out one. A phone number is required by Sendcloud in some cases.

Scheduled task: fulfill settled orders

An optional scheduled task fulfillSettledOrdersTask is included to automatically transition settled orders to Delivered. It is not auto-registered — you need to add it to your schedulerOptions.tasks yourself.

The task runs nightly (default 2:00 AM) and processes all PaymentSettled orders placed within the last N days (default 7) that use the SendCloud fulfillment handler. Each qualifying order is fulfilled and transitioned to Delivered.

Do not manually change order statuses in Vendure if you use this scheduled task. The task will fulfill orders and transition to delivered every night.

import { DefaultSchedulerPlugin } from '@vendure/core';
import {
  SendcloudPlugin,
  fulfillSettledOrdersTask,
} from '@pinelab/vendure-plugin-sendcloud';

const config: VendureConfig = {
  plugins: [SendcloudPlugin.init({}), DefaultSchedulerPlugin.init()],
  schedulerOptions: {
    tasks: [
      // Use defaults (every day at 2:00 AM, look back 7 days)
      fulfillSettledOrdersTask,
      // Or configure the task
      fulfillSettledOrdersTask.configure({
        schedule: (cron) => cron.everyDayAt(3, 0),
        params: { settledSinceDays: 14 },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Additional configuration

You can choose to send additional info to SendCloud: weight, hsCode, origin_country and additional parcel items. Parcel items will show up as rows on your SendCloud packaging slips.

import {
  SendcloudPlugin,
  getNrOfOrders,
} from '@pinelab/vendure-plugin-sendcloud';

plugins: [
  SendcloudPlugin.init({
    /**
     * Implement the weightFn to determine the weight of a parcel item,
     * or set a default value
     */
    weightFn: (line) =>
      (line.productVariant.product?.customFields as any)?.weight || 5,
    /**
     * Implement the hsCodeFn to set the hsCode of a parcel item,
     * or set a default value
     */
    hsCodeFn: (line) =>
      (line.productVariant.product?.customFields as any)?.hsCode || 'test hs',
    /**
     * Implement the originCountryFn to set the origin_country of a parcel item,
     * or set a default value
     */
    originCountryFn: (line) => 'NL',
    /**
     * Implement the additionalParcelItemsFn to add additional rows to the SendCloud order.
     * This example adds the nr of previous orders of the current customer to SendCloud
     */
    additionalParcelItemsFn: async (ctx, injector, order) => {
      const additionalInputs = [];
      additionalInputs.push(await getNrOfOrders(ctx, injector, order));
      return additionalInputs;
    },
  }),
];
