Fulfillment Partners (3PL)

–Register for a “SHIPMENT_COMPLETED” event by calling Subscribe to webhook endpoint. You will be notified when the shipment is created via a webhook. This is the recommended method.

Alternatively, you can call the /POST shipment endpoint with the async flag set to false and retrieve tracking, labels, in the response.

Call the Post shipment endpoint at the time of order fulfillment, from your WMS.
This will lead to creation of a shipment in FlavorCloud, it will also choose the appropriate carrier and rate based on what was chosen at checkout by end consumer. It will also create a label, relevant customs docs and tracking number.

• Include the App ID, API Key, Customer_key, rate_hash_key and duty_hash_key, reference and reason_for_sale in the request.
• When async flag is set to “false”, Shipment_id is returned in the response along with label and customs doc and tracking number links.
• When async flag is set to “true”, Shipment_id is returned in the response. When the webhook triggers for “shipment-completed”, you will receive label and customs doc and tracking number links as part of the callback.

NOTE: that changes/overrides to any of the following fields will invalidate the rate chosen at checkout and generate a new rate upon fulfillment of order

• shipfrom_address
• shipto_address
• terms_of_trade
