Order Import

The Order Import API allows you to import existing Orders from a different system or a different Composable Commerce Project.

The Create Order by Import endpoint imports a single Order into Composable Commerce without the need of creating a Cart before creating the Order. No error is given when specified Prices or quantities of (Custom) Line Items have negative values. The Order total price needs to be set explicitly, it is not calculated from the sum of (Custom) Line Item totals.

To import Orders in bulk, use the Import Orders BETA endpoint of the Import API. The Import API, however, does not support beta features on Composable Commerce APIs.

Filtering

During Order Import, if the referenced Store defines languages, distribution channels, supply channels, or countries, they can be used to filter languages, Prices, or Inventory Entry respectively.

by language

Based on the languages configured for the referenced Store in the OrderImportDraft store field, excess LocalizedStrings can be are filtered.

If the Store languages is set, then only localized values of languages defined in languages are kept.

  • If no matching language is found on a LocalizedString for languages specified in the Store languages, as a fallback, the next language specified in the Project languages is used. This ensures that required fields do not remain empty in the Order.
  • If an empty value is found on a LocalizedString for languages specified in the Store languages, the empty value will be imported for that language.

by Price

Based on the distribution channels configured for the referenced Store in the OrderImportDraft store field, excess Prices can be filtered .

If the Store distributionChannels is set, then only the Prices with distribution channels defined in distributionChannels, and Prices without distribution channels are kept.

Likewise, if the Store countries is set, then only the Prices with a country defined in countries, and Prices without a country are kept.

by Inventory Entry

Based on the inventory supply channels configured for the referenced Store in the OrderImportDraft store field, excess ProductVariantAvailabilities can be filtered.

If the Store supplyChannels is set, then only Inventory Entries with supply channels defined in supplyChannels, and Inventory Entries without supply channels are kept.
