To add an order to a store, first instantiate a new order object with the store's API key and an associative array of the order data. A comprehensive list of the data attributes and their definitions can be found here. Then simply call the create() method.

$res = $order->create();
?>

If successful the call will return a JSON hash with the ShippingEasy order ID, as well as the external order identifier originally supplied in your call.

{ "order" => { "id" => "27654", "external_order_identifier" => "ABC123" } }

Possible Exceptions

ShippingEasy_AuthenticationError

Your credentials could not be authenticated.

ShippingEasy_InvalidRequestError

The order could not be created on the server for one or more of the following reasons:

  • The JSON payload could not be parsed.
  • One or more of the supplied data attributes failed validation and is missing or incorrect.
  • An order with the supplied external_order_identifier already exists for that store.

The exception will contain a message that indicates which of these conditions failed.
