Update a last mile delivery order

PUT /v2/fulfillment/lastmile/orders/{order_id}

Deprecated

This endpoint has been replaced by Update a last mile delivery order. The URI has changed, but the request parameters and responses remain the same. The new URI is consistent in format with the delivery and pickup workflows. This change reflects our commitment to making our API more intuitive to use when implementing multiple fulfillment workflows in your ecommerce site. The deprecated endpoint is still supported for existing implementations. For new implementations, use the revised endpoint.

Updates an order. You can change the delivery window, order details, and the pre-delivery tip amount.

info

After an order is assigned for fulfillment, you cannot update the order.

When changing the delivery window, the start and end timestamps must fall within the window specified in the selected service option (time slot). If the timestamps are outside the window, the request fails. To select a new service option, list the available service options and select one. You don’t need to reserve it. Copy the values for the service option id, start_at, and end_at fields, and put these values in the request's service_option_id, start_at, and end_at fields.
