Proper way to fulfill orders via API

GraphQL API
1

Hello,

I am looking to use the API for order fulfillments. I see the guide here recommends following a few steps:
https://developer.shiphero.com/order-fulfillment/

I also see order_fulfill in the docs and that mutation is not mentioned in the above guide: https://developer.shiphero.com/wp-content/uploads/spectaql/#mutation-order_fulfill

What is the difference in behavior of the order_fulfill vs the multi-step process mentioned in the guide?

Thanks!

Hello, @rypaul12! The flow described in the first URL you shared is achievable by just using the API. The other one requires the picking process to be done physically in the warehouse, and one condition is to have the orders in totes and pass on the totes to the mutation. You can find more information here: UPDATE: Q3 Updates for API
Have a great day!
