\# Accept order When the delivery status returns \*\*Ready\_to\_ship\*\* you can accept the order. To accept the order that was confirmed at the POS, perform a PUT sending the \`shipment\_id\` and \`access\_token\` (generated by the OAuth authentication process) to the endpoint \[/proximity-integration/shipments/{shipment\_id}/accept\](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/en/reference/mp\_delivery/\_proximity-integration\_shipments\_shipment\_id\_accept/put). Check \[Security\](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/en/guides/additional-content/security/oauth/introduction) for more information about OAuth. When accepting the order, the status will be changed and the new order status will be indicated in the response. > NOTE > > Important > > It is important to know that only in the statuses \*\*ready\_to\_ship\*\* and \*\*ready\_to\_print\*\* it is possible to accept an order. After accepting the order, the substatus will be \*\*printed\*\*. If the order is not accepted 5 minutes after its creation, it will be automatically canceled.
