Last updated: Aug 15th, 8:04am
When a merchant adds a tracking number, the Add Tracking API expects one of the following shipping statuses.
Note: A merchant is not required to update the shipping status each time the shipment status changes. Update the status only once when you update the tracking number.
| Status | Description | Use status when |
|---|---|---|
SHIPPED | The item was shipped and is on the way. | The recommended status. |
ON_HOLD | The item is on hold. | The item might be held up in customs or is on hold for another reason. |
DELIVERED | When the tracking number was uploaded, the item had already been delivered. | |
CANCELLED | The shipment was cancelled and the tracking number no longer applies. | The user wants to indicate that a tracking number is no longer valid. |
