Custom shipping method with REST API

[gaminn]

Hi,

I would like to implement a custom shipping method for my Prestashop 8. Currently the shipping costs are displayed based on the static shipping cost tables defined in prestashop administration. However, at checkout I would like to display one more shipping service with dynamic shipping costs based on REST API request to a third party website. The request includes address, weight and dimensions of the package and it returns shipping costs and delivery time.

How can I implement that? Or is there a similar module which I can just modify to do what I want?

2 solutions:

- you buy a module compatible with the 3rd party service.

- you ask to a dev to develop a module for you.

I hoped that there is a similar shipping costs module already which already loads shipping costs from somewhere and displays it on checkout page. I would just modify it to send the rest api request to my 3rd party service. I know some basics of PHP/HTML

I already asked 3rd party service - they don't have a module for Prestashop.
