Order processing tutorial

Step 9. Create a shipment

To create a shipment, you need the order_item_id of each item to be shipped. Since the Sprite Yoga Companion Kit is a bundle item, you only need to include the top-level order_item_id (5). The order_item_id for the Radiant Tee-M-Orange is 3.

To create a partial shipment, specify only those order_item_ids that are to be shipped now.

If the call is successful on a full shipment, Magento changes the status of an order to Complete.

Endpoint

POST <host>/rest/<store_code>/V1/order/3/ship

where 3 is the order id.

Headers

Content-Type application/json

Authorization Bearer <administrator token>

Payload

The tracks array optionally allows you to include one or more tracking numbers for the shipment.
