Create an order

POST /orders

Submits an order to be created on Shippit.

At minimum, an order requires a delivery location, user details, and parcel details. Shippit then generates the order, allocates the courier, and fills in the origin location based on the provided info and merchant configuration on Shippit.

Note that the required fields for an order can vary depending on the type of order, the requested courier, whether it is local or international, and a range of other factors.

There is a maximum of 1000 parcels per quote request.
