Can I access the Shipping_Method field through the BigCommerce API?

Question

We are trying to code the integration between our order management software (DAX) and our BigCommerce website. In order to transfer tracking #s from DAX to BC, we must be able to request the Shipping_Method field. BC told us that we cannot set the Shipping_Method field with the current API, but this seems strange because we can set this method manually when updating orders through the back end of our site, and we assume that the functionality comes from the API.

BC's specific answer: "Unfortunately, you cannot set the shipping_method field at this time, although this is what we are currently discussing regarding the expansion of the API."

Does anyone have any experience / prospect of using the shipping_method field with integration?

Thanks!

BigCommerce does not necessarily require the overtime of the API, you are making changes to the software, since this is most likely code that is called locally on the same server. From experience, if it is not in API documents, you cannot use it or manipulate it. It is deaf, the tracking number is not available, but I think it is the way it is now.
