Purolator Shipping for Magento 2

Key Features

Native Magento 2 carrier model extending AbstractCarrierOnline / CarrierInterface, so Purolator appears in checkout, admin order shipping, and multishipping rate requests

Live Purolator rates via the E-Ship Estimating Web Service, returned in real time to the cart and checkout shipping step

Encrypted credential storage in system.xml admin config (account number, API key, password) with sandbox/production toggle and a 'test connection' button

Shipping label and Purolator PDF document generation from the admin order view, gated behind a dedicated ACL resource

Domestic Canada service-level mapping (Ground, Express, Express 9AM / 10:30AM / Evening) configurable to the methods you actually offer

Cross-border US service mapping for Purolator International / US shipments with customs-field handling

Automatic tracking-number write-back to the shipment and order, surfaced in customer 'My Orders' and shipment emails

Signature options (regular signature, adult signature) selectable per shipping method or order

di.xml plugins/interceptors and observers instead of core overrides, keeping the carrier upgrade-safe across Magento minor versions

Rate caching plus fail-open behaviour: a Purolator API timeout falls back to configured flat rates rather than blocking checkout

Origin/dimensional weight and skid/oversize package handling so quoted rates match real Purolator billing

Optional REST and GraphQL exposure of available Purolator rates for headless / PWA Studio storefronts

Free-shipping threshold, handling fee, and method allow/deny rules by region, weight, and cart total

Cron-driven tracking-status refresh that updates shipment state and can trigger delivery notifications

Structured logging of every rate and label API call for auditing and dispute resolution

About this Product

Canadian merchants on Magento 2 don't get Purolator out of the box. Magento ships UPS, USPS, FedEx and DHL carrier models — Purolator is simply not part of the platform. This extension closes that gap with a properly engineered carrier module rather than a hard-coded rate table or a third-party rate aggregator that marks up your negotiated pricing.

ECOSIRE builds this as a dedicated module under app/code/Ecosire/PurolatorShipping, implementing Magento's \Magento\Shipping\Model\Carrier\AbstractCarrierOnline and CarrierInterface so Purolator appears natively in the checkout rate request, the admin shipping configuration (system.xml with encrypted credential fields), and multishipping. Live rates are pulled from Purolator's E-Ship Web Services (Estimating, Shipping Documents and Tracking APIs) through a service-contract layer, with results cached and gracefully degraded so a carrier timeout never blocks checkout.

Because it is a build-to-order extension, the module is tailored to your Purolator account: your billing account number, registration credentials, the service levels you actually sell (Purolator Ground, Express, Express 9AM/10:30AM/Evening, and US service mapping for cross-border), package/skid defaults, and any free-shipping or handling-fee rules. ECOSIRE provisions API access against your Purolator developer account, installs the module on your environment (Open Source or Adobe Commerce, including Cloud), wires admin ACL for the label-printing controllers, and validates rate parity against your Purolator portal.

This is not an instant Adobe Commerce Marketplace download. You purchase the build, we scope your carrier rules, then deliver, install and support it — with a clear lead time and direct access to the engineer who wrote the code.

What you get

A complete, namespaced Magento 2 module (Ecosire_PurolatorShipping) delivered as source under app/code or as a Composer package, with composer.json, registration.php, and module.xml

Installation and configuration on your environment — Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce (Cloud included) — by an ECOSIRE engineer

Purolator E-Ship Web Services API integration provisioned against your own Purolator developer/billing account

Admin configuration of your real service levels, signature options, handling fees, and domestic + US cross-border mapping

Rate-parity validation: quoted checkout rates reconciled against your Purolator portal before go-live

Setup and admin-user guide covering configuration fields, label printing, and tracking, plus inline ACL documentation

Source code ownership for your store with a tagged release so future Magento upgrades can be regression-tested

A post-launch support and warranty window with the engineer who built it

Who this is for

Canadian Magento store owner

Runs a Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce store shipping domestically across Canada and wants checkout to quote real, account-specific Purolator rates instead of guessed flat fees that erode margin.

eCommerce / operations manager

Owns fulfilment and needs Purolator labels and tracking generated straight from the Magento admin so warehouse staff stop re-keying shipments into the Purolator web portal.

Magento agency or in-house developer

Needs an upgrade-safe carrier built with di.xml plugins, service contracts and proper ACL — not a core hack — and wants a vendor who delivers source, documents it, and supports version bumps.

Frequently Asked Questions about Purolator Shipping for Magento 2

Is this a download I can install instantly from the Adobe Commerce Marketplace?

No. This is a build-to-order extension. There is no instant Marketplace download. You purchase the build, ECOSIRE scopes your Purolator account and service rules, then we deliver, install and validate the module on your environment. You receive the full module source, not a black box.

How long is the delivery lead time?

Typical delivery is about 2 to 3 weeks from kickoff, depending on how quickly Purolator developer/API access is provisioned for your billing account and how many custom service or pricing rules you need. We confirm a firm timeline during scoping before any code is written, and provisioning the Purolator API on your side is usually the longest single step.

Does it work on both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce?

Yes. The carrier is built against standard Magento 2 framework interfaces (AbstractCarrierOnline, CarrierInterface, service contracts), so it runs on Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce, including Adobe Commerce Cloud. For headless or PWA Studio storefronts we can expose rates over REST and GraphQL.

What ongoing support and updates do I get?

Each build includes a post-launch warranty window for bug fixes, plus optional ongoing support. Because you own the source and we ship a tagged release, ECOSIRE can regression-test and patch the carrier when you upgrade Magento minor versions or when Purolator changes its E-Ship Web Services. Support is direct with the engineer who built it.

Will the checkout rates exactly match my negotiated Purolator pricing?

Yes, that is the point of using live rates against your own account. Rates are pulled from the Purolator Estimating Web Service using your account number and registered credentials, so the cart reflects your negotiated pricing including dimensional weight and surcharges. Before go-live we reconcile quoted rates against your Purolator portal to confirm parity.
