Create Order API

The Create Order API extension for Magento 2 enables merchants to accept and process orders created from external systems such as mobile applications, ERP platforms, POS systems, kiosks, and custom sales channels. By providing a secure REST API endpoint, the extension allows orders to be created programmatically without requiring access to the Magento Admin Panel. After installation, merchants can monitor API activity through a dedicated Admin menu, review request and response logs, and troubleshoot failures. The extension supports configurable payment and shipping methods through API payloads and uses Magento’s native order creation workflow, ensuring that orders appear and behave exactly like standard storefront orders. This solution is ideal for businesses that manage sales outside the storefront while continuing to rely on Magento for order processing and fulfillment.

This extension allows external systems to create orders in Magento securely and efficiently using a custom REST API endpoint. It is designed for seamless integration with third-party platforms while maintaining compatibility with the core Magento checkout and order management processes.

An integrated Admin dashboard menu is added to the backend, allowing merchants to review API logs, inspect request data, and track order creation activity for operational visibility and troubleshooting.
