Cancel a shipment: reverses exactly what it recorded

Lowers the fulfillment-order and order credits the shipment wrote, returns to the source location exactly what its stock movements took (never more), and reserves again at most what they released when the fulfillment order still holds a reservation. A shortfall correction the shipment recorded is kept. No postage is refunded. Already canceled: outcome unchanged. DSCO channels: 409.

Scope: shipments:write, channel:write or admin.

Idempotency: send Idempotency-Key; a retry with the same key replays the first answer.

Rate limit: write class, 1,200 requests per minute per tenant by default (read class 6,000). Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset; a refusal is 429 rate_limited with Retry-After.

string
required
length between 1 and 300

The uuid, a legacy 24-hex id, or ext:: (URL-encoded).

Body Params
string
length between 1 and 255
inventory
object
Headers
string
length between 7 and 50

Any string of 7 to 50 characters that identifies this request (an order number, a webhook id). A retry with the same key and the same body answers the first result with Idempotent-Replayed: true; the same key with a different body is 422 idempotency_key_reused; a concurrent request with the same key is 409 in_progress with Retry-After. Recommended on every write.
