Check a shipment's address with the carrier
AI agents: read /llms.txt; add .md to any page URL. This page as Markdown: /reference/shipments/v2-sales-order-shipment-validate-address.md. Index of every page and the rules for every call: /llms.txt. Guides and concepts in one file: /llms-full.txt. OpenAPI: /openapi.json.
PATCH/
Checks the shipment's shipping address with UPS address validation, for supported countries, and saves the result on the address. An address already checked is not checked again. The answer is the shipment in the older shape, with its status and items. {hash_id} is the order's id; {id} is the shipment's id.
Side effects
- Calls the UPS address validation service once per address and saves the result on the address.

Errors
401The API key is missing or wrong (
unauthenticated).403You are not allowed to do this.
api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, withunauthorizedoruser_is_not_authorized.404Not found.
page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's.code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.- When
- The shipment is not on this order.
- Fix
- Check the ids.
422The request was refused and changed nothing.
validation_failedlists what to fix inerror.fields; other codes name a business rule, explained inerror.message. A few checks answer with only{"message": "..."}. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answerconnect_timeout("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.- When
- The Shopify order was deleted in Shopify (
shopify_order_deleted_externally). - Fix
- Nothing to check: the order is gone in Shopify.
500A business rule refused the request (see the operation's errors), or something failed inside YoPrint. Refusals use the error envelope with a code such as
action_not_allowed; an unexpected failure answers{"message": "Server Error"}. Repeating a refusal gets the same answer; after an unexpected failure, read the record back before you retry a change.- When
- The shipment has no shipping address: the body is
{"message": "Server Error"}. - Fix
- Set the shipment's address first.
