Multiple Shipping Methods for Carts and Orders

30 August 2022
Enhancement
CartsOrdersCustomizationGraphQL

You can now add multiple Shipping Methods to a Cart and Order. This is useful for cases where you want to have individual Shipping Methods for each Line Item ordered from a Cart.

A newly introduced shippingMode on Cart and Order controls whether Carts and Orders can have single or multiple Shipping Methods. The default ShippingMode is Single for backwards compatibility. For Carts and Orders with multiple Shipping Methods, all shipping-related information (such as address, rate, deliveries) are wrapped in a newly introduced Shipping object per Shipping Method. The Shipping object can also be extended with Custom Fields.

Additionally, you can add deliveries to Carts during Cart creation, which was previously only possible on Orders.
