# Create a shipping method

`POST /quickbooks-desktop/shipping-methods`

Creates a new shipping method.

## Headers

- `Conductor-End-User-Id` string, required — The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string, required — The case-insensitive unique name of this shipping method, unique across all shipping methods. **NOTE**: Shipping methods do not have a `fullName` field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why `name` is unique for them but not for objects that have parents. Maximum length: 15 characters.
  - `isActive` boolean — Indicates whether this shipping method is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`.

## Response `200`

Returns the newly created shipping method.

- QbdShippingMethod
  - `id` string, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this shipping method. This ID is unique across all shipping methods but not across different QuickBooks object types.
  - `objectType` 'qbd_shipping_method', required — The type of object. This value is always `"qbd_shipping_method"`.
  - `createdAt` string, required — The date and time when this shipping method was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
  - `updatedAt` string, required — The date and time when this shipping method was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
  - `revisionNumber` string, required — The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this shipping method object, which changes each time the object is modified. When updating this object, you must provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error.
  - `name` string, required — The case-insensitive unique name of this shipping method, unique across all shipping methods. **NOTE**: Shipping methods do not have a `fullName` field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why `name` is unique for them but not for objects that have parents.
  - `isActive` boolean, required — Indicates whether this shipping method is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`.
