Completing an Order

The API provides some shortcuts for completing open Buyer Orders, learn what it means to "complete" an order and how to do so.

Let's fast forward a bit and assume that you've received the order, processed it and are now ready to complete it. How do you do that? Well first you should understand that in OrderCloud an order will automatically transition to status "Complete" once all the line items on the order have shipped. If however your workflow doesn't require storing shipments in OrderCloud there is also a manual method which we'll be using for this demo and is the shortest possible way to complete an order.

Only mark an order complete manually if your order doesn't need a shipment. You will not be able to ship or reopen an order after completing it.

Let's go ahead and use the shorthand method of completing an order using the ID you retrieved in the previous guide:

1POST https://sandboxapi.ordercloud.io/v1/orders/incoming/myorderID/complete HTTP/1.1
2Authorization: Bearer INSERT_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE
