Create Order | BigCommerce Developer Center

Generates an order record in B2B Edition after a Company user places an order.

This occurs automatically; however, you can populate extra information on a B2B order by using a webhook that first listens for BigCommerce order creation and then calls the Create an Order endpoint. The request must be made within 10 seconds of an order’s creation for it to be successful.

Note that this does not create a new order in your store. Use the Orders V2 API to add new orders via the API.

Equivalent Storefront GraphQL API Mutation: createOrder. For more information, see the GraphQL Playground.
