Delivery (Estimate-Based)

Suggest Edits

Overview: the Shipment Update call

Use the Shipment Update API - /deliveryexperience/shipment - to report when a Partner's ship carrier has delivered a given product, referencing a prior shipment, either using the shipiumShipmentId or partnerShipmentId (if previously provided).

This is stage 4 in the Product View - Order - Shipment - Deliver sequence for Estimate-Based Delivery.

Note: All information remains unchanged other than the addition of a delivery update, so this is a PUT to add a deliveredDateTime to your existing Shipment document.

API call and response examples are shown below.

Reading shipment delivery information

This is actually identical to the read for Shipment (Delivery Estimate-Based). If a shipment has had a delivery PUT for it, then it will have been updated with the latest tracking information available when you GET the latest version of the object.

curl --request GET \
  --url <<api_url>>/api/v1/deliveryexperience/shipment/PSID-12345 \
  --header 'accept: application/json' \
  --header $AUTHSTRING
