Hey @debyltech ,
It should be userDefinedId, we just saw that there is an issue with our webhooks shipping documentation, it is showing the outdated v1/v2 documentation instead of v3. I’m pasting the v3 corrected one below and looking into fixing the issue :
Webhooks: shipping
You can use the shipping rates webhook when you want to handle shipping rates calculation by yourself. Snipcart will call your application at the URL specified in your dashboard.
In your dashboard go to Store configurations → Shipping → Webhooks and enter the required endpoint information.
Snipcart will make an HTTP POST request to the URL specified. The request body will contain all the current order details.

Response example
{
"rates": [{
"cost": 10,
"description": "10$ shipping",
"userDefinedId": "shipping_10",
}, {
"cost": 20,
"description": "20$ shipping",
"guaranteedDaysToDelivery": 5,
"userDefinedId": "shipping_20",
},
{
"cost": 30,
"description": "30$ shipping",
"userDefinedId": "shipping_30"
}]
}
Quick word on the userDefinedId property, it can be especially useful when your Shipping webhook integrates with a fulfillment solution, sometimes you need to carry the unique shipping rate ID through the whole ordering process. When your rates contain this field, the property shippingRateUserDefineId property will be set on the Order, therefore available in Webhook requests and API calls.
Error
If you want Snipcart to show an error message to your customers, you can do so by returning us a 2XX status code with the following JSON object.
{
"errors": [{
"key": "invalid_postal_code",
"message": "The postal code is invalid."
},
...
]
}
