The Shipping Admin APIs are a collection of resources for administrating shipping settings such as carrier configurations and shipping profiles. For more information about site settings and the associated configurations in the Unified Commerce Admin interface, see the Shipping Settings documentation.
Some tips for using different resources of the Shipping APIs:
- Use the Carrier Configuration (specific and global) resources to manage your settings for fulfillment carriers.
- Use the Carrier Credential and Credential Set resources to manage the authentication for your carrier configurations.
- Use the Shipping Profile resources to set rules for shipping fees, profiles, and inclusion.
- Use the Target Rules resource to manage your target rules for products and zones. For example, you can set specific rules that dictate shipping options for specific products.
