Shipments
An order can be split into more shipments for one of the following reasons:
The order contains line items from more than one stock location
The order contains line items belonging to more than one shipping category
The combination of stock locations and shipping categories determines the number of shipments. Each shipment gets fulfilled separately.
A shipment object is returned as part of the response body of each successful list, retrieve or update API call.
