Order API Authentication

Authentication

All requests to the order API require user authentication. Clients of the order API can make requests on behalf of

  • A user that manages and approves orders, who in this documentation is called administrator.
  • A user that has a shopping places orders, who in this documentation is called customer.

Note:

Management and approval of orders requires a user that has the "Approve Orders" group permission. This user may be a person (and there is an actual user interface for managing and approving orders), but in a scenario where order management and approval is fully automated by a third-party integration, the built-in Administrator user (server-to-server API authentication) can be used.

Custom web shop integrations typically only need to make requests on behalf of the administrator.
