Completing an order

The API provides shortcuts for completing open buyer orders. Learn what it means to "complete" an order and how to do so.

Assume you have received the order, processed it, and are ready to complete it. In OrderCloud, an order automatically transitions to status "Complete" once all line items on the order have shipped. If your workflow does not require storing shipments in OrderCloud, you can use a manual method to complete an order.

Warning: Only mark an order complete manually if your order does not need a shipment. You cannot ship or reopen an order after completing it.

Use the shorthand method to complete an order using the ID you retrieved in the previous guide:
