Overview

This node interacts with the OpenCart API to manage orders within an e-commerce system. Specifically, the 'Add Order' operation allows users to create new orders by providing order data in JSON format. This is useful for automating order creation processes, integrating external order sources, or managing orders programmatically within workflows.

Use Case Examples

1. Automatically create a new order in OpenCart when a customer completes a purchase on an external platform.
2. Integrate order data from a CRM system into OpenCart by adding orders via this node.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The response from the OpenCart API after attempting to add the order, typically containing details of the created order or error information.

Dependencies

• Requires an OpenCart API credential with base URL, username, password, and optional timeout, retries, and retry delay settings.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Order Data' JSON is correctly formatted; invalid JSON will cause errors.
• Verify that the OpenCart API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions to add orders.
• If the node fails, check the error message for details; enabling 'Continue On Fail' allows processing of subsequent items despite errors.
