Scurri Guide
Scurri is a single platform where you can prepare, despatch, and track all of your shipments for your customers regardless of what carriers you use. Aurora has been integrated to take advantage of Scurri.
Introduction
This article covers the Aurora integration with Scurri. For more information on Scurri please see www.scurri.co.uk.
This guide will help you quickly setup Aurora to work with your Scurri account.
Configuration
Providing you have an account with Scurri, to link your account to Aurora, go to the Store > Settings > Shipping tab and review the following options:
Shipping Service - Select "Scurri" to start using Scurri as your shipping service. This may have previously been set to use an alternative integration.
Further down the Shipping tab, you'll find the below Scurri options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Live | If checked, the integration will communicate with your live Scurri account, sending orders every 15 min. If not checked, test accreditation will be used. |
| Username/Password | The authentication details for your Live Scurri account. Scurri will provide you with this. |
| Company Name | The API company name for your Live Scurri account. Scurri will provide you with this. |
| Service URL | The live API URL to communicate with Scurri. Scurri will provide you with this. |
| Request a shipping Label? | If checked, all your orders labels will be requested and saved in Aurora. Aurora will also generate and save the couriers tracking reference. Each saved label will be available via the Edit Order > Print Label button. |
| Phone Numbers | Options regarding which customer phone numbers to send to Scurri. Some couriers may require that a telephone number be provided. |
Test Accreditation
Below the above settings, you will find fields that relate to Scurri test accreditation. It is important that the same Consignment Rules created on your live Scurri account exist in the test account, in order to increase the accuracy of testing and improve debugging.
We strongly recommend that your Aurora and Scurri shipping rules are thoroughly tested with a test account prior to go live.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Username/Password | The authentication details for your test Scurri account. Scurri will provide you with this. |
| Company Name | The API company name for your test Scurri account. Scurri will provide you with this. |
| Service URL | The test API URL to communicate with Scurri. Scurri will provide you with this. |
Service Groups
Aurora uses service groups to fulfil the integration with Scurri. These groups are setup within your Scurri account, given a code (such as 'FIRSTCLASS', 'NEXTDAY', 'STANDARD' etc). When Aurora sends an order to Scurri for allocation, the service group code will be sent with the request and Scurri will assign a carrier from within this service group.
For this to work, each shipping rule within Aurora must have a relevant service group code setup in Scurri. Scurri should provide a list of all available "Courier Services" and their codes in order to insert in Aurora.
This can be found by going to Shipping > Rules and editing each relevant top level rule.
Integration Processes
Aurora contains several Scurri integration processes that will be enabled by Aurora Commerce on request of this service. Each command is executed by Aurora on a regular basis to perform the various integration processes; these processes are:
- Allocate Orders - Look for orders waiting for allocation and send to the Scurri system. Normally this is run every 15 minutes.
- Update Orders - Update Aurora order courier and tracking details (when changed in the Scurri system). Normally run once a day.
- Update Couriers - Update the couriers in Aurora with the carrier services setup in the Scurri system.
- Update Despatched - Update Aurora orders that have been despatched in the Scurri system (this also sends a despatched email to the customer). Normally run once a day.
To increase or decrease the frequency that these processes are run, or to specify a tailored schedule for your store, please contact your Aurora Account Manager.
