Overview

This node interacts with the OpenCart API to manage payment information, specifically allowing users to set the payment method for an order or transaction. It is useful in e-commerce workflows where automating payment method selection is required, such as during checkout processes or order management. For example, a user can set a specific payment method code to ensure the correct payment option is applied to a customer's order.

Use Case Examples

1. Setting a payment method code to 'credit_card' for an order during checkout automation.
2. Automatically updating the payment method based on user preferences or promotions.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The response from the OpenCart API after setting the payment method, typically including confirmation or details of the applied payment method.

Dependencies

• Requires an OpenCart API credential with base URL, username, and password for authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the payment method code provided is valid and supported by the OpenCart store to avoid API errors.
• If JSON parsing errors occur (not applicable here since paymentMethodCode is a string), verify input format.
• Common error messages may include authentication failures if API credentials are incorrect, or invalid payment method codes if the code does not exist in the store configuration.
