Create a Shipment

Create a new shipment.

Required authorization scope: public.shipment:write and public.label:write if a label is requested during the request.

Select a courier

If you use our Rates API, you can define a courier ID to assign a courier to the shipment using courier_service_id. If you skip courier ID, we will return a list of all possible rates to your new shipment and assign the best value for money courier.

Calculate dimensions and total weight

You can calculate dimensions and total weight of your shipment in three ways:

• Provide total_actual_weight and box objects for the shipment.
• Specify actual_weight and dimensions for each item of the items object: in this case, total weight and box size will be calculated automatically.
• Specify sku for each item of the items object: in this case, actual weight and dimensions for calculations will be taken as set for the product.
