Order Fulfillment API - Support for Shipment Status

Feature Release

We added support for status at the shipment-level in the Order Fulfillment API. This enables the abilty to send delivery confirmation emails at the shipment-level.

What's New?

• You can now pass status when creating/updating shipments. View documentation here.
• Shipment-level shipping confirmation email will be sent upon setting a shipment as shipped.
• Shipment-level delivery confirmation email will be sent upon setting a shipment as delivered.
• If status is not sent, legacy logic applies:
  • Shipping confirmation email sent upon shipment creation.
  • Delivery confirmation email sent upon setting a fulfillment as delivered.

Deprecation Notice

The legacy email logic will be deprecated at a later time, after the full adoption of shipment status. For now, it remains in place to allow for a smooth transition.

Cutover Recommendations

• Start using status on new orders. Updating existing shipments may result in duplicate emails.
• When sending status, please ensure that it's sent for all shipments within the order to avoid duplicate emails being sent.
