Given this customer basket information:• A customer has an existing basket that consists of multiple...

The required workflow creates a new shipment for a gift item and then modifies shipment information associated with the basket. The OCAPI basket shipment hooks corresponding to those two operations aredw.ocapi.shop.basket.shipment.beforePOSTanddw.ocapi.shop.basket.shipment.beforePATCH.

Salesforce ' s OCAPI hook documentation definesshipment.beforePOSTas the extension point executed before creation of a shipment andshipment.beforePATCHas the extension point executed before modification of an existing shipment. Those operations align directly with the described solution: establish the separate shipment and then apply the necessary changes before final basket validation.

The alternatives involvingbeforeDELETEorafterDELETEare inconsistent with the scenario because no shipment needs to be deleted. The requirement is to separate a gift product into its own shipment, not remove a shipment from the basket.

The concludingvalidateBaskethook provides the final validation stage after the basket/shipment changes have been processed, allowing custom logic to ensure that the resulting basket remains valid.
