Technical Q&A
1

@Shopify_77
Is there any change applied to the order fulfillment API call or 2020-04 endpoint is completely deprecated?
we are trying to trigger fulfillment API to the endpoint “https://XXXXXXXXX.myshopify.com/admin/api/2020-04/orders/{ShopifyOrderId}/fulfillments.json” but getting an error “The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.”. it was working fine till 4th July 2023 and then after it doesn’t work for any request.

@Shopify_77 would you please help to fix this error on an urgent basis as it’s affecting many of our customers?
Please let me know if you need any input to investigate further.

First start here with a post from a year ago.
https://shopify.dev/changelog/some-endpoint-deprecations-on-the-fulfillment-api-and-the-introduction-of-fulfillment-order-api

Also take a read over the api docs on versioning as it will give you a sense of timelines and support lifetimes. https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/versioning

There’s likely nothing for Shopify to fix here as it has been something known for around 12 months. The change will need to be made in your app (said without know the full context but is a good guess!)

Hi there,

I have exactly the same problem. I figured it was the deprecation of the API - but ugh - how absolutely annoying to have to go back and dig into stable code and rewrite.

I’m just about to dig into Shopify to see how to replace but on the off chance you’ve figured this out and don’t mind sharing any resources / info on how to do so that would be great!
