Fulfill Orders with 2 Items one item with Shipping Profile Other item without shipping profile

Topic summary

A developer is encountering an error when attempting to fulfill orders containing items with different delivery method types via the Shopify API (/admin/api/2022-07/fulfillments.json).

The Problem:

  • One item has a shipping profile (delivery method type: “shipping”)
  • Another item has no shipping profile (delivery method type: “none”)
  • API returns error: “All fulfillment orders must have the same delivery method type. Multiple delivery method types ["none", "shipping"] were found.”

Proposed Solution:
A community member suggests splitting the fulfillment into two separate fulfillment requests—one for each delivery method type. This approach would create two separate FulfillmentOrders to handle the different shipping profiles.

Status: The issue remains unresolved as the original poster shared their JSON payload but hasn’t confirmed whether the split-fulfillment approach worked. A similar question was referenced in another community thread.

“errors”: ["All fulfillment orders must have the same delivery method type. Multiple delivery method types ["none", "shipping"] were found."]

}

Hi there,

This is almost the same question as https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-apis-and-sdks/uregent-unable-to-sync-fulfillments-when-order-contains-both/td-p/2009312

Please reply with the json you send to fulfillment.json.

Just a guess but like the error says, you will have to split your fulfillment into two separate fulfillment requests.

If you look at the fulfillmentOrder it’s also probably two separate fulfillmentOrders as well.

Cheers,

Gary
