Partially ship order

How to partially ship an order

If you cannot ship all the items for an order at the same time, you can ship the order in multiple parts.

See API reference – Update or cancel order > Ship order.

Collection flow

Zinia begins the collection flow after at least 1 partial shipment if all other items from the order are cancelled.

Zinia does not invoice partial shipment amounts separately.

Expiration

After the first partial shipment, you have 10 days to ship the remaining items, or the order expires.

Installments

Partial shipment is supported for installments orders.

Integration

A unique shipment order_id is generated for each partial shipment.

See API reference – Update or cancel order > Ship order.

Notifications

You receive a webhook notification when the order status of each partial shipment changes to Shipped.

The status of the main transaction never changes to Completed. It remains Initialized, with a flag.

Refunds

You must must refund partial shipments separately, using the specific shipment order_id, instead of the original invoice order_id.

See API reference – Refund order.

Surcharges

Due to changes to the Wet op het consumentenkrediet, merchants who apply surcharges to BNPL methods are now deemed credit providers under article 7:57 of the Burgerlijk Wetboek. This requires a permit from the Authority for Financial Markets (AFM).

We therefore strongly recommend not applying surcharges.
