Re: Using POSTMAN to test updating order tracking with new Fulfillment Order API

Using POSTMAN to test updating order tracking with new Fulfillment Order API

Has anyone used POSTMAN to test updating the tracking formation on a Shopify order using the POST – Updates the tracking information for a fulfillment order method in the Shopify Fulfillment endpoint?
I’m trying to migrate from our old Shopify Fulfillment API to the newer FulfillmentOrders. I can get order information in POSTMAN using this url:
https://{{APIKey}}:{{PW}}@{{StoreId}}.myshopify.com/admin/orders/{{OrderID}}/fulfillment_orders.json
But when I try to update the tracking information using the new API call:
https://{{APIKey}}:{{PW}}@{{StoreId}}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-07/fulfillments/{{Fulfillmentid}}/update_tracking.json
with this body in json format:
{
"fulfillment": {
     "notify_customer": true,
     "tracking_info": {
          "number": "1234567890",
          "company": "USPS"
        }
    }
}
it returns this error:
{
   "errors": "Not Found"
}
With no other details like what was not found. I have verified that I’m using the fulfillment order number and not the Shopify order number and all other variables like APIKEY, API-Password, and Store.
For reference, this is the old call I used and was working up till 7/5/2023:
https://{{APIKey}}:{{PW}}@{{StoreId}}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-01/orders/{{OrderID}}/fulfillments.json
with this body in json format:
{
"fulfillment":{
   "location_id":123456789,
   "tracking_number":"9999999999",
   "tracking_company":null,
   "line_items":null,
   "notify_customer":true
   }
}

 

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance on this issue.

Hi @FLSDBH 

 

You can try using this endpoint: 'admin/api/2023-07/fulfillments.json' and then including the fulfillment order id in the body under "line_items_by_fulfillment_order"

 

So the body would look something like this:

{
"fulfillment": {
     "notify_customer": true,
     "tracking_info": {
          "number": "1234567890",
          "company": "USPS"
        }

    "line_items_by_fulfillment_order":{
        "fulfillment_order_id": YOUR FULFILLMENT ORDER ID

    }

  }
}

Thanks for the help and advice.  I was able to get your solution to work in POSTMAN with one exception.  I enclosed the fulfillment_order_id in brackets "[]". However, when I execute it in my C# application, I get an error response "Response: {"errors":["Fulfillment payloads fulfillment order must be greater than 0"]}".  I googled the error and others indicated that I need to add the line-item ID #'s and quantity. But the "Official" documentation doesn't indicate that the ID#'s and quantities are needed.  If anyone from Shopify REST development is monitoring, can you please respond with advice?

I found my error in my C# code, the JSON body needs to be in lowercase and I had used upper case for some of the element names.  Once I set all element names to lower case, no more fulfillment  payload error.
