Currently we allow an order to be dropshipped when its status is not awaiting_fulfillment. Beginning August 22nd 2022, requests to create dropshipments (or mark as dropshipped) for non-awaiting_fulfillment orders will result in a 403 response.
We’re changing this in an effort to add guard rails around the dropshipment process and to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate dropshipments.
Affected endpoints:
POST /v3/order/{order_number}/process_dropshipments
POST /v3/order/{order_number}/dropship
POST /v3/order/{order_number}/mark_as_dropshipped
