Create order

Order API v1

POST*base*/order

Authentication:API key

This will insert a new order directly into Centra bypassing any needs of a payment. This API could be used to directly import orders from external systems. The API-plugin needs to have “Allow Order Create” set as true to allow this call to be made.

Warning

Remember that payments for these orders will not be handled at all by Centra. You must make sure the payments are handled and captured elsewhere.
