# Inventory shipment webhooks include inventory transfer IDs

DateOctober 1, 2026

Affected APIs[Events & webhooks](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=webhook)

We are introducing the `inventory_transfer_id` to several `inventory_shipment` webhook payloads to make it easier for developers to identify which `inventory_transfer` records, if any, a given shipment is related to. This will ease integration burdens and remove the need for developers to merge the datasets on their end to manually build the links.

## What changed

Introduces an `inventory_transfer_id` field to the payloads of the following...

* `inventory_shipments/create`
* `inventory_shipments/delete`
* `inventory_shipments/add_items`
* `inventory_shipments/remove_items`
* `inventory_shipments/update_item_quantities`
* `inventory_shipments/mark_in_transit`
* `inventory_shipments/receive_items`
* `inventory_shipments/update_tracking`

## Who's affected

This is an additive change, any adopters of the shipment webhooks, upon updating to 2026-10, will get access to this new field.
