Hi Krishna111,

To update the delivery status of an order, you can use the Order and Fulfillment REST API in Shopify. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Retrieve the Order : To get the order you want to update, you can use the Order API. The endpoint for this is GET /admin/api/2023-10/orders/{order_id}.json where {order_id} is the ID of the order.

2. Create a Fulfillment for the Order : Once you have the order, you can create a fulfillment for that order. The fulfillment is the process of packaging and shipping an order to a customer. The endpoint for this is POST /admin/api/2023-10/orders/{order_id}/fulfillments.json where {order_id} is the ID the order. In the request body, you need to provide the necessary details like location_id, tracking_numbers etc. Here is an example of a request body:

{
  "fulfill": {
    "location_id": 905684977,
    "tracking_numbers": ["123456"],
    "notify_customer": true
  }
}

3. Update the Fulfillment : If you want to update the fulfillment like updating the tracking information, you can use the Update Fulfillment API. The endpoint for this is PUT /admin/api/2023-10/orders/{order_id}/fulfillments/{fulfillment_id}.json where {order_id} is the ID of the order and {fulfillment_id} is the ID of the fulfillment. In the request body, you can provide the updated details like trackingnumber, trackingurls etc.

Remember to replace {order_id} and {fulfillment_id} with the actual IDs in your app. 

Please refer to the Shopify API documentation here for more details.

Hope this helps!
