Here's what shipped this month. For an overview of these features, see the Release Notes on the Shippit Help Centre.

Improvements

  • The v3 Order API now returns the optional price_breakdown array on POST /orders and DELETE /orders/{tracking_number}, and the v3 Label API returns it on GET /orders/{tracking_number}/label. The line items use the same shape as the quote price breakdown: a key, a type of courierCost, surcharge, fee, or tax, and an amount. On the label endpoint, the array appears alongside price, so your API secret needs the permission that returns the order price. Shippit omits the field when no cost data is available, and both GET /orders/{tracking_number} and PUT /orders/{tracking_number} leave it out because they request a new quote in the background and return no price. The field is additive and backward compatible.

  • Address validation now accepts more Argentine postcode formats. Quote and order payloads with a country code of AR accept 9999, A9999, and A9999AAA, rather than four digits alone.
