9 October 2026 ordersdeprecation

POST /v1/orders/{id}/confirm-shipped no longer does anything. It still answers 200 with the order, unchanged, and carries a Deprecation: true header — remove the call when convenient.

Why#

Accepting an order books the courier, and the courier reports the parcel's progress itself. A "handed to the courier" signal from you added nothing: no pickup, no money and no message depended on it. It moved the order to ship_to_courier without checking where the order was, so calling it late could pull a delivered order backwards.

What changes for you#

• The order stays accepted after you hand the parcel over, and through delivery.
• Where the parcel is: GET /v1/orders/{id}/tracking — status is the courier's latest status, events[].is_final marks the delivery. The order also carries delivered_at.
• The PHP SDK marks orders()->confirmShipped() @deprecated, and the WooCommerce plugin drops its "Confirm handed to courier" button.
