Order - ShipStream Developer Center

An order is a request from the merchant for an outbound shipment of the merchant’s inventory. Each order is closely tracked through picking and packing all of the way to the time it is placed on the carrier’s truck, even including which pallet the packages were loaded onto. When an order has begun picking it is split (if needed) into “Shipments” based on the most efficient way to meet carrier size and weight limitations. Each “shipment” therefore typically results in only one package although under some circumstances may still require more than one package.

Order Additional Data

unique_id

string

This field is optional and if not specified an auto-incrementing number will be assigned. Uniqueness based on this field is enforced so an error will be given if an order with the same unique_id already exists. This ‘unique_id’ is the id used for other API calls such as “order.info”.

order_ref

string

See the Shipping Methods document for a reference. Is not optional.

custom_greeting

string

If specified will override the configured Packing Slip default greeting. Allowing the addition of a Packing Slip Custom Greeting.
