ⓘ Requires Integrated Dispatch
A Dispatch provider needs to be integrated in a customer location for this endpoint to return courier availability

Dispatch Availability Request

To check the availability of an integrated Dispatch provider, submit a pre-validation request as shown below with a full delivery address including coordinates and postal code. The response will then include:

"available": true/false if a Dispatch partner is available
"validationId" a unique ID (valid for 10 minutes) to be used when creating the order

Include the validationId in the Create Order request, as detailed in the section below.

⚠️ A 200 OK response only confirms your request was successful, it does not confirm Dispatch availability. Always check the "available" flag in the response.

▶ See Create Order

ⓘ Validation ID in Orders
When using validationId in the order creation endpoint, Deliverect will always use the originally validated address. To update to a new address, set validationId to null to trigger a new validation with the Dispatch provider.

Check availability for multiple stores

An array of channelLinkIds like below can be provided to determine the best possible pickup location for a specific delivery, based on price and distance.

In the second example on the right hand side "Validate Delivery - multiple pickupLocations". two stores are checked by their unique store identifier ((channel link Id) like in below snippet

The response confirms the best pickup location to set for the order
