API and Ship Via in an Invoice

Eric_Bagwell · ‎February 07, 2023

Hello,

The API Reference describes 'ShipMethodRef' in Invoices as resolving to a text string, but it requires an ID "for the referenced object". It isn't clear what object needs to be referenced. Exactly what do I need to pass the string I want to populate into the Ship Via field of an invoice via the API? I found this post in the community but no one ever answered the original question.

Thanks.
