Overview

This node interacts with the OpenCart API to perform various operations related to orders, including retrieving the order history. Specifically, the 'Get Order History' operation fetches the historical data of a specified order by its ID. This is useful for e-commerce businesses that need to track changes, updates, or status history of customer orders for auditing, customer service, or analytics purposes.

Use Case Examples

1. An e-commerce manager wants to review the timeline of status changes for a particular order to resolve a customer inquiry.
2. A business analyst extracts order history data to analyze order processing times and identify bottlenecks.
