Creates a direct-to-consumer order that ShipBob queues for picking, packing and shipping.
Cancel an orderDeletes data
Cancels an order and all its shipments, if none has been picked yet.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.
