# Create shipment

`POST /orders/{orderId}/shipments`

> **Deprecated.**

Create a shipment for specific order lines of an order.

When using Klarna, using this endpoint is mandatory for the order amount to be captured. A [capture](get-capture) will automatically be created for the shipment.

The word 'shipment' is used in the figurative sense here. It can also mean that a service was provided or digital content was delivered.

      - object
      - string[]
    - `isCancelable` boolean, required
    - `quantity` integer, required — The number of items that should be refunded for this order line. When this parameter is omitted, the whole order line will be refunded. Must be less than the number of items already refunded for this order line.
    - `quantityShipped` integer
    - `amountShipped` object — In v2 endpoints, monetary amounts are represented as objects with a `currency` and `value` field.
      - `currency` string, required — A three-character ISO 4217 currency code.
      - `value` string, required — A string containing an exact monetary amount in the given currency.

    - `amount` object — The amount that you want to refund. In almost all cases, Mollie can determine the amount automatically. The amount is required only if you are partially refunding an order line which has a non-zero `discountAmount`. The amount you can refund depends on various properties of the order line and the create order refund request. The maximum that can be refunded is `unit price x quantity to ship`. The minimum amount depends on the discount applied to the line, the quantity already refunded or shipped, the amounts already refunded or shipped and the quantity you want to refund. If you do not send an amount, Mollie will determine the amount automatically or respond with an error if the amount cannot be determined automatically. The error will contain the `extra.minimumAmount` and `extra.maximumAmount` properties that allow you pick the right amount.
