shippit

shippit_book_orders

WRITE: book labelled orders with their carriers for pickup (the Shippit 'book' step). Shippit returns one manifest per carrier; the carrier then collects and bills the parcels. Orders must have been labelled first (shippit_label_order). The call fails as a whole when a tracking number is unknown; otherwise each manifest reports success or an error per order. Booked orders can no longer be edited. Requires confirm: true. A reply where every manifest failed is an error. POST /book.

shippit_cancel_order

WRITE: cancel a Shippit order by tracking number (the order ends in state cancelled and cannot be revived; for some carriers Shippit also sends a cancellation request to the carrier). Shippit refuses with a 422 and the reason when the order can no longer be cancelled, for example once the carrier has it. Requires confirm: true. DELETE /orders/{tracking_number}.

shippit_create_order

WRITE: create a domestic shipping order in Shippit. Shippit then allocates a carrier (your account rules, or the carrier named in courier_allocation) and, unless suppress_communications is true, emails the recipient tracking notifications. Requires confirm: true. Standard, express and click-and-collect orders are only booked with the carrier later, by shippit_label_order and shippit_book_orders (priority and on-demand orders, which book inside the create request, are not supported here). validate defaults to true: the order is not saved when the suburb and postcode do not match (a suggested address is returned instead). Creating twice creates two orders. International orders (customs data) are not supported here. POST /orders.

shippit_estimate_delivery_dates

Estimated delivery window (earliest, latest, confidence and a ready-to-show text) per service level (standard, express) between two postcodes, optionally limited to some carriers. Returns an empty list if no carrier is enabled. POST /estimated_delivery_dates.

shippit_get_manifest_document

The booking manifest document for a manifest id (from shippit_book_orders or shippit_get_order): carrier, order count, tracking numbers and a pre-signed PDF URL valid for 7 days. A 422 means the manifest is still generating: retry shortly. GET /book/{manifest_id}/document.

shippit_get_merchant

The Shippit merchant account behind this API key: store and company name, contact, preparation time, website and the home (pickup) address with country. GET /merchant.

shippit_get_operating_hours

The store operating hours per weekday (open flag, start and end of the working day) that Shippit uses for pickup and delivery estimates. GET /merchants/settings/locations/operating_hours.

shippit_get_order

One Shippit order by tracking number: state, courier and price allocated, delivery address, receiver, parcels, products, references and (once booked) manifest id and number. There is no list-orders endpoint in the Shippit API. GET /orders/{tracking_number}.

shippit_get_quotes

Ask the carriers enabled on the account for a price and delivery estimate to a destination, for given parcels. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged. Set return_all_quotes to see every carrier instead of only the cheapest or fastest. A 200 can hold per-carrier errors (success false) and a quote of 0 means that carrier cannot take the parcel. Dangerous goods cannot be quoted. POST /quotes.

shippit_get_tracking

The status history of an order (status, date, time, who changed it) and the public tracking page URL to give the recipient. GET /orders/{tracking_number}/tracking.

shippit_label_order

WRITE: confirm an order for shipping and fetch its label. This is the Shippit 'label' step: it finalises the carrier and price (the order moves to Ready to Ship) and returns the carrier, tracking and consignment details plus pre-signed PDF URLs (valid 7 days) for the shipping label, packing slip and any customs documents. A 422 means the order is still processing or has no valid carrier or quote: retry shortly or read the error. Labelling is the step before shippit_book_orders. GET /orders/{tracking_number}/label.

shippit_list_webhooks

The tracking webhooks configured on the account (at most 6): url, the order states that trigger each, whether address or receiver details are hidden, enabled flag. Custom header values are masked by Shippit. GET /merchants/webhooks.
