Shipments

New Shipment

Shippers: You can’t create one shipment directly. You must first create a booking (Shipment request) via the API or the Platform. Then confirm it through the Platform (Only).

Carriers: Under certain circumstances, carriers have the ability to create a shipment on behalf of their client (shippers) through the API via the endpoint Create shipment by carrier. If you would like to do so, please ask your Shiptify sales representative.

Multi-containers / Multi-shipments

Usually, one booking generates only one shipment. But you may need to book several shipments in a row for specific cases.

This is what we call Multi-containers or Multi-shipments. When such a booking gets confirmed, several shipments will be created in Shiptify. Each of them will have their own data or documentation attached but they can also benefit from common actions.
