In this article, we are using the SubmitShipment method on the API to create/book a shipment
https://helpcenter.nshift.com/hc/en-us/articles/4401176907676#post_shipments
But depending on the flow you are implementing one of the following methods might be a better option:
- https://helpcenter.nshift.com/hc/en-us/articles/4401176907676-API-Documentation#post_saveshipment
- https://helpcenter.nshift.com/hc/en-us/articles/4401176907676-API-Documentation#post_importUpload
