• To streamline API integration and data management, the Shipments object can now be nested within the Fulfillment object when sending Create Fulfillment, Update Fulfillment, Create Order, and Update Order requests.
• You can now configure shipping rules using your internal service levels.

• Shipment responses and webhooks now include the carrier_tracking_url parameter so you can quickly access the carrier’s tracking page to follow shipment statuses.

September 6, 2023

• You can now access Proof of Delivery images (PNG/JPG) from carriers in webhooks and the Get Shipment API response via a convenient link in the proof_of_delivery parameter.

August 2, 2023

• You can now delete a shipment using its source ID. Learn more.
• You can now update products in a fulfillment while the fulfillment’s status is partially_fulfilled (in addition to new). You can optionally push this change to the order level by adding "force_products_update" : true.
  • Important notes:
    • When the product id is not included, all required product fields (name, price, length, etc.) must be included.
    • When "force_products_update" : true is not included in the Update Fulfillment call, Delivery Hub only allows the addition of products on the fulfillment level if they are already included on the order level.
  • To update a product, send the Update Fulfillment call with the new data in place of the old.
    For example, if a fulfillment includes a pair of jeans in size L and the customer requests size M instead, you can send the Update Fulfillment call with size M listed instead of L, and the product will be updated in Delivery Hub.
  • To delete a product on the fulfillment level, send the Update Fulfillment call without the item to delete.
    To add a product, add it to the product array.
  • To remove an item from one fulfillment and move it to another fulfillment in the same order:
    1. Send the Update Fulfillment call with the item removed from the Products list.
       Do not include "force_products_update" : true (or mark this parameter as false) so the item isn’t removed from the order level.
    2. Send another Update Fulfillment call for the fulfillment you want to move the item to, adding the item to the second fulfillment’s product list.

July 27, 2023

• Shipping locations can now be identified using a source_id.

• When sending pudo_location_id, values are also required for shipping_account_id and service.

July 4, 2023

• The locale parameter has been added to the customer object. The new parameter uses ISO 639-1 codes to define customer language for delivery notifications. Learn more about configuring notifications.

• You can now use your external system's source ID for a location as the value for the sender_location_id and recipient_location_id parameters.

• There have been a few clarifications to the process of assigning statuses:

  • Shipment statuses cannot be assigned the PartiallyFulfilled status.
  • Fulfillments with no shipments are assigned the New status.
  • Fulfillments that have at least one shipment with a status of ReadyToShip are assigned the PartiallyFulfilled status.
  • Delivery Hub always displays the status that is earliest in the delivery flow for a list of shipments. For example, if an order or fulfillment has one shipment that is ready for carrier collection and another that is out for delivery, the order or fulfillment is assigned the ReadyToShip status.
  • Orders with no fulfillments are assigned the New status.
