Hello everyone,
When I create an order from the "create an order" endpoint. The order gets created successfully.
Then I get the fulfilment id for that order and call the "Send a fulfilment request" endpoint. The error I get there is confusing me since I am new to Shopify endpoints. I am attaching the body for the request for both endpoints. It will be great if someone can help me understand why I get this error.
Create an Order
https://gf-store-for-test.myshopify.com/admin/api/2022-04/fulfillments.json
{ "order": { "currency": "PKR", "line_items": [ { "quantity": 23, "title": "Some Title", "grams": "100", "fulfillment_service": "My New Fulfillment Service", "price": 50 } ] } }
Send a Fulfillment Request
https://gf-store-for-test.myshopify.com/admin/api/2022-04/orders/{{fullfilmentorderid}}/fulfillment_...
{
"fulfillment_request": {
"message": "some message"
}
}
The error I get is "The fulfillment order's assigned fulfillment service must be of api type". Not sure what it means by this.
Help is appreciated. 😃
That means your fulfillment is assigned to a shop location, likely the default location. Your order needs to contain line items stocked at a fulfillment service location in order to request a fulfillment from a fulfillment service.
If that does not make sense because you are not using a fulfillment service, then you do not need to request fulfillment. You just want to create a fulfillment for the fulfillment order.

Thank you for the response brother,
When I create the line item I add a line item present at a fulfilment service. But even then I get the issue. I am going to attach the body to that request here as well.
{ "order": { "email": "norman@mail.com", "line_items": [ { "fulfillment_service": "zach", "fulfillment_status": "partial", "fulfillable_quantity": 1, "product_id": 8168788197690, "variant_id": 44610974613818, "quantity": 1 } ], "currency": "USD" } }
You cannot set the fulfillment service or status via the API this way. The API just ignored the parameters.
The Zach location is a Custom Fulfillment Service, it is not an app location. That is why you got the error message. Does your shop require fulfillment via a custom fulfillment service email?
