New Enum Values for Domestic Shipments in the Germany Amazon Store

Starting October 1, 2026, the Merchant Fulfillment API v0 will introduce two new enum values:DeliveryConfirmationWithIdentityCheck and DeliveryConfirmationWithNameVerification for the DeliveryExperience and DeliveryExperienceOption fields in the getEligibleShipmentServices and createShipmentAPIs. These value-added delivery verification services are available through the DHL Paket National Shipping service in the Germany (DE) Amazon store.

❗️
Important
Schema change notice: If your integration strictly validates or deserializes enum values against a fixed list, it may fail when encountering the new values. We strongly recommend implementing flexible enum handling to accommodate new values gracefully.

Which Amazon Stores are affected?

This change applies to the Germany (DE) Amazon store.

📘
Note
The API schema changes (new enum values) are global and will be present in the worldwide API model.

Who is affected?

Developers with applications that integrate with the Merchant Fulfillment API v0 (getEligibleShipmentServices, createShipment) are affected by this change. This is particularly relevant for:

Germany Amazon store merchants using DHL Paket National Shipping service
Integrators who strictly validate API response schemas

What action is required?

If you have an application that is affected by this change, you must:

Update your shipping service processing logic to handle DeliveryConfirmationWithIdentityCheckand DeliveryConfirmationWithNameVerificationas new values in the DeliveryExperienceand DeliveryExperienceOptionenum fields in the getEligibleShipmentServices/createShipmentAPI request and response.
Update your deserialization logic to accept these new values if you use strict enum validation.
Implement flexible enum handling to accommodate new values gracefully. This will protect your integration against future enhancements as well.
