How to retrieve Fulfillment Order ID

[devserge]

Hey there,

I am curently working on an integration for one of our clients and we are trying the new 2023-04 API.

We need to fulfill an specific order. We use an post request to /admin/api/2023-04/fulfillments.json.  In that post request, we have this line:

    "line_items_by_fulfillment_order": [
      {
        "fulfillment_order_id": ###########
      }
    ]

That fulfillment_order_id is not the ID of the order. It is the ID of the fulfilment, but which fulfillment? I am trying to create one, so how can I have an id?

In the portal, when i want to fullfill an order, it redirects me to a page where I can select the products, fill in the tracking information and more. In the URL, we have /orders/####/fulfillment_orders/###/fulfill?locationId=###. In that url, we have the fulfilment ID after the /fulfillmen_orders/. When I am using that id, everyting works. But how to get that ID with the API?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

For everyone wondering, I fixed it. There is a difference between fulfillment belonging to an order, and fulfilment_orders from an order. There always is an fulfillment_order_id that you can lookup with this endpoint:

https://store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-04/orders/{orderid}/fulfillment_orders.json

With that endpoint, you can retrieve the fulfilment_order_id that you can use for the fulfillment endpoint to create a new fulfillment with the order data, tracking number and more.

Hey Devserge, I have the same need as you. I tried your solution but for some reason I get an empty object "fulfillment_orders": []

In the Order > Fulfill link for a specific order, I see there is indeed a fulfillment_order ID = 6602265657600

URL ends in : /orders/5526506176768/fulfillment_orders/6602265657600/fulfill?locationId=33563213933

And in my endpoint/request I use this same Order ID:

/admin/api/2023-04/orders/5526506176768/fulfillment_orders.json

Any idea of why might this be happening? Thanks!

Hi Tomaspasqualini, i am using this one to get the 

fulfillment_order_id: https://{{API_key}}:{{admin_API_access_token}}@{{shop}}/admin/api/{{api-version}}/orders/{{order_id}}//fulfillment_orders.json

and then i use this one to actually fulfill the order:
https://{{API_key}}:{{admin_API_access_token}}@{{shop}}/admin/api/{{api-version}}/fulfillments.json

with this json as body:

{

    "fulfillment":

    {

        "line_items_by_fulfillment_order":

        [

            {

                "fulfillment_order_id":6602265657600

            }

        ],

        "notify_customer": true,

        "tracking_info":

        {

            "number":"MS1562678",

            "url":"https://www.my-shipping-company.com?tracking_number=MS1562678"

        }

    }

}
