In this post, I will show you how to create an order using an offline payment method. Therefore, this endpoint below only requires the payment method and billing address information. Follow our example code to find out how to create your own order by Magento 2 API.
Step 1: Generate Access Token
First, to create a customer account, admin authorization is required. Complete the following steps to authorize access to resources:
In the POST request enter your store URL along with this endpoint.
POST <host>/rest/V1/integration/customer/token
Enter your customer username and password in Body sections, then click Send
{
"username": "string",
"password": "string"
}Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)Step 2: Create an order
When you request payment details, Magento makes an order and sends a confirmation of the order to the customer.
Create a new request with this endpoint:
POST <host>/rest/V1/carts/mine/payment-information
In the Authorization section:
- Choose Type: Bearer Token
- Then paste your token
In Payload section:
{
"paymentMethod": {
"method": "checkmo"
},
"billing_address": {
"email": "julielawson@example.com",
"region": "Nevada",
"region_id": 39,
"region_code": "NV",
"country_id": "US",
"street": ["3703 Wescam Court"],
"postcode": "89406",
"city": "Fallon",
"telephone": "860-212-5597",
"firstname": "Julie",
"lastname": "Lawson"
}
}Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)Response
An order ID
When you review the order as Admin, the response contains full details about the order, such as customer information, payment details for the order and each individual item.
Step 3: Verify the order
- Log in to the store with the example account and check your order.
- Log in to your Magento Admin. Then go to Sales > Orders. Use the order Id to search for your pending order.
