Shipment authentication

Important

This integration guide supports physical goods. The physical goods product category is in Early Availability status. Features in Early Availability status are only available in production to a limited number of customers based on fit with specific use cases. For more information about Early Availability status, see Product lifecycle phases. If you would like to use the product capabilities described here during the Early Availability phase, contact your AppDirect technical representative.

The following two methods are used to authenticate calls:

• For requests from the physical fulfillment manager to the shipping connector, use token-based authentication (shared secrets).
• For calls back to the physical fulfillment manager from the shipping connector, you must implement an OAuth strategy that uses AppDirect client key and secret (bearer access token). See Separate credentials authorization type for more information.
