createOrder( )

Creates an order from a specified checkout.

The createOrder() function returns a Promise that resolves to the new order's ID and paymentGatewayOrderID when the order is created. Pass the paymentGatewayOrderId as the paymentId param to the startPayment() function to allow a customer to pay for their order.

  • A checkout must have at least 1 line item.
  • All of the line Items have an availability.status of "AVAILABLE" or "PARTIALLY_AVAILABLE".
  • If there is a payment to be made, meaning that priceSummary.total is greater than 0, the billingInfo.address field must be provided.
  • When a checkout has line items to be shipped, the shippingInfo.shippingDestination.address and shippingInfo.selectedCarrierServiceOption fields must be provided.
  • When a checkout has line items for pickup, the shippingInfo.selectedCarrierServiceOption.logistics.pickupDetails field must be provided.
