Shopify API - Create An Order

Shopify Order API 2024 – Create An Order Using Postman

In this article, Beehexa will show you how to create an order using Postman with tax lines split across taxable line items. It means your created order will specify the price of items and total tax with each different rate to which these products are subject. You can follow this process to create an order with tax lines split across taxable line items using Postman in Shopify.

        Step 2: Create An Order Using Postman With Tax Lines Split Across Taxable Line Items

           

            • Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace.

            • Create a new POST with this URL:

          https://{username}:{password}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}.json

             

              1. {username} – The API key that you generated.

              1. {password} – The API password that you generated.

              1. {shop} – The name of your development store.

              1. {api-version} – The supported API version that you want to use.

              1. {resource} – A resource endpoint from the REST Admin API.

            Or you can copy this example in the Shopify Admin, remember to change {resource} to {orders}:

            Example URL

            https://33a72f01e02987636e1c1a9a4e95c840:[email protected]/admin/api/2021-10/orders.json

               

                • Paste the URL above.

              Create An Order Using Postman

              In the body section, enter this code:

              {
                  "order": {
                      "line_items": [{
                          "title": "Red Leather Coat",
                          "price": 129.99,
                          "grams": "1700",
                          "quantity": 1
                      }, {
                          "title": "Blue Suede Shoes",
                          "price": 85.95,
                          "grams": "750",
                          "quantity": 1,
                          "taxable": false
                      }, {
                          "title": "Raspberry Beret",
                          "price": 19.99,
                          "grams": "320",
                          "quantity": 2
                      }],
                      "tax_lines": [{
                          "price": 10.2,
                          "rate": 0.06,
                          "title": "State tax"
                      }, {
                          "price": 4.25,
                          "rate": 0.025,
                          "title": "County tax"
                      }],
                      "total_tax": 14.45
                  }
              }

              This code determines what products you want to order, including titles, prices, weight, and quantity. The tax line taxed to which these products are subject. 

              Then click Send
