What is the EvolutionX Logistics Integration?
The EvolutionX Logistics Integration enables the Logistics application to communicate directly with your e-commerce website, and vice-versa, allowing shipping options to be calculated and selected in real time during the checkout process.
Once an order is placed, EvolutionX automatically sends the selected shipping options back to the Logistics application. This ensures that delivery information is immediately available inside your Logistics system without requiring manual entry.
This creates a seamless workflow between checkout and delivery scheduling, helping your team efficiently manage in-house deliveries while improving the customer checkout experience.
Configuring the Logistics Provider and Checkout Experience
Requirements Before Setup
Before configuring the EvolutionX Logistics Integration, there are a few important prerequisites to ensure a smooth setup.
EvolutionX Logistics Application Installed
The EvolutionX Logistics application must be fully configured and active. All required settings in the Logistics app should be completed to allow shipment testing.
Admin Access Permissions
You must have access to the ecommerce Admin App Store and the Logistics app module to configure the integration.
API Key from EvolutionX Logistics
An API key generated in the Logistics application is required. This key allows your ecommerce store to securely communicate with the Logistics app.
Configuring the Logistics Provider
Inside the App Store app, you’ll find a configuration form where you need to enter the API key from the Logistics application. The endpoint will be the default unless instructed otherwise.
Shipping configuration
After completing the App Store form, the next step is to proceed with shipping configuration. This involves creating shipping zones and enabling your chosen shipping provider through the custom options available in the system. Rather than detailing each step here, you can follow the complete instructions in this guide.
Shipping Options in Checkout
Once the Logistics provider is configured, the shipping options will appear directly in your ecommerce checkout. These options are retrieved in real time from the EvolutionX Logistics application, ensuring that the rates, delivery dates, and available vehicles reflect valid, up-to-date data. Customers can select the shipping option that best suits their needs, including specific delivery dates or preferred trucks, depending on what is available.
When a customer completes the checkout and submits their order, all selected shipping details are automatically communicated back to the EvolutionX Logistics application. This seamless integration ensures that your delivery team receives accurate and complete information without the need for manual entry, streamlining the order fulfillment process and reducing the risk of errors.
AI Logistics Infer Attributes for Products
What Are AI Logistics Attributes?
The EvolutionX Logistics Integration includes a powerful AI-driven feature designed to help manage missing logistics information on your products. Often, some product attributes required for accurate shipping, such as weight, height, length, and more, may not be provided by the product provider. This can make it difficult to determine the correct cargo type or assign the product to the appropriate delivery truck.
By leveraging AI to generate these attributes, your team can rely on complete product data without manually filling in every detail, making the shipping process more efficient and reducing the chance of errors.
When AI Generates Logistics Attributes
Currently, AI logistics attributes are being generated in two main contexts:
The first context is within the Admin product management interface.
When editing a product, a dedicated shipping section is now available. Here, users can manually trigger AI predictions to generate missing logistics attributes for the product. This allows you to review and validate the AI-generated data, ensuring accuracy before the product is available for checkout. This manual process gives you full control over the product information while still benefiting from the AI’s predictive capabilities.
The second context is during checkout. When a product is missing key logistics data required for shipping calculations, such as dimensions, weight, or pallet requirements, the system automatically generates these AI attributes on the fly as shipping options are being loaded. This ensures that real-time shipping rates and delivery options are more accurate, even if some product data was previously missing.
FAQ
Do I need the Logistics application to use this integration with EvoX?
Yes. The EvolutionX Logistics application must be installed and fully configured for the integration to work. You also need the proper access permissions in the Admin App Store and a valid API key from the Logistics application. Without these prerequisites, the integration cannot retrieve real-time shipping options or communicate order information back to the Logistics app.
Can I manually override AI-generated logistics attributes?
Yes. While the system generates logistics attributes automatically using AI, you have the ability to override these values manually via the storefront overlay. Any manual override will take priority over AI-generated data. We recommend performing any necessary corrections through the storefront override section, as this ensures the changes are properly applied and consistent across checkout and shipping calculations.
What happens if logistics attributes are missing?
If a product is missing required logistics attributes, the system will generate AI predictions on the fly during checkout. This ensures that shipping options can still be calculated, and the order can be processed correctly. However, relying solely on real-time AI generation may increase compute load, which could slightly impact response times or user experience. For optimal performance and efficiency, it’s recommended to verify and complete logistics attributes in the product or storefront override sections before checkout whenever possible.
