Direct order submission allows channels to submit fully composed orders, including their own tax and shipping calculations, in a single request to the merchant through Violet. This feature overrides the platform's built-in pricing engine, ensuring accuracy in the merchant's system of record and customer communications.
Learn more about Direct Order Submission in this guide.
The following information is required to be included in the Order payload of this request:
First Name
Last Name
Email
Shipping Address
Bag(s)
For a multi-merchant Order, multiple bags must be created in the Order payload. Each Bag must contain items from only one merchant and have its own shipping method.
When not bypassing payments, Violet currently only supports accepting Single-use Stripe Tokens as a payment method in this endpoint.
Submission Date
At the time of order submission a date_submitted property on the Order and Bag objects will be populated with ISO 8601 datetime values that reflect the submission time. On the Order object this value will capture the last time the Order was submitted to Violet. Each Bag object within the Order object will reflect the last time an attempt was made to submit the Bag to the external commerce platform.
