Example: ```json { "shipNode": "99351656957153281" } ``` ## Validate the status value Use a supported status value for the node. Possible values include: * `ACTIVE` * `INACTIVE` *** # Sample response The following example shows a `200 OK` response. ```json [ { "shipNode": "string", "status": "string" } ] ``` *** # Result * A successful `200 OK` response confirms that the 3PL ship node association was updated. * The response returns the `shipNode` and its updated `status`. * The fulfillment center is now configured as `ACTIVE` or `INACTIVE` based on your request. * If activated, the 3PL node becomes available for shipping operations. * If deactivated, the node is not used for fulfillment. *** # Next steps The **Get shipping template details** API gives you specific shipping configurations for a single shipping template. * [Get shipping template details Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/docs/get-shipping-template-details) * [Get shipping template details API Reference Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/reference/getshippingtemplatedetails) The **Update shipping templates** API lets you modify configurations on an existing shipping template, such as shipping methods, regions, transit times, and pricing rules. * [Update shipping templates Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/docs/update-shipping-templates) * [Update shipping templates API Reference Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/reference/updateshippingtemplates) The **Delete shipping templates **API lets you permanently remove existing shipping templates from Walmart Marketplace settings. * [Delete shipping template Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/docs/delete-shipping-templates) * [Delete shipping template API Reference Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/reference/deleteshippingtemplatedetails) The **Get all fulfillment centers **API retrieves fulfillment centers (also known as ship nodes) information on your account. * [Get all fulfillment centers Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/docs/get-all-fulfillment-centers) * [Get all fulfillment centers API Reference Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/reference/getallfulfillmentcenters) The **Update fulfillment center** API helps you update your existing fulfillment centers (also known as a ship nodes) configuration in Marketplace Settings. * [Update fulfillment centers Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/docs/update-fulfillment-centers) * [Update fulfillment centers API Reference Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/reference//updatefulfillmentcenter) The **Create fulfillment center** API sets up new fulfillment centers (also known as ship nodes) in Walmart Marketplace Settings. * [Create fulfillment center Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/docs/create-account-level-settings) * [Create fulfillment center API Reference Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/reference/createfulfillmentcenter) The **Get account level settings** API retrieves account-level shipping settings such as calendar day configurations, weekends, and additional days off. * [Get account level settings Guide](<- \[Create account level settings Guide](https://developer.walmart.com/us-marketplace/docs/create-account-level-settings) -
