Introduction

With the Orders Settings API, you can retrieve and update settings that apply to a site’s eCommerce orders. These settings include adding or removing customer email notifications about order status, defining when to update the store inventory, and creating invoices.

The default orders settings are provided when you first create a Wix eCommerce site.

Terminology

It typically includes details such as the type and quantity of items, shipping address, payment information, and any other relevant transaction details.
• eCommerce: Buying and selling of goods and services over the internet.
• Invoice: Commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, providing a detailed account of products or services rendered, along with the corresponding costs.
• Inventory: List of goods, products, or materials that a business holds for the purpose of resale or use in its operations.
