Overview
This node provides integration with a commerce platform, allowing users to perform various operations on different resources such as customers, subscriptions, orders, and plans. Specifically, for the Order resource with the Update operation, it enables updating details of an existing order by specifying its ID and the data fields to modify.
Common scenarios include:
- Updating the status or internal codes of an order after processing.
- Changing credit check flags based on customer payment verification.
- Automating order management workflows where order attributes need to be programmatically adjusted.
Example use case:
- After receiving payment confirmation, update the order's status code to reflect completion.
- Toggle the credit check flag if a manual review is required before fulfillment.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Order ID | The unique identifier of the order to update. |
| Update Data | A collection of fields to update on the order: - Credit Check: Boolean flag indicating whether to perform a customer's credit check during order processing. - Status Code: Internal string code representing the order's current status. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the result of the update operation for each input item. Each output item contains the updated order data in the json field.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array where each element corresponds to one input item’s update result.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to the commerce platform API via an initialized API service.
- Needs proper authentication credentials (e.g., an API key or token) configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- Relies on a resource registry system internally to manage resource-specific logic.
Troubleshooting
- Resource Not Found Error: If the specified resource (e.g., "order") is not recognized, ensure the node supports that resource and the integration is properly set up.
- Unexpected Error: May occur if the resource instance cannot be retrieved; verify the node configuration and API connectivity.
- API Errors: Errors returned from the commerce platform API (e.g., invalid order ID, permission issues) will be surfaced. Check the error message for details.
- Continue On Fail: If enabled, errors for individual items will be captured in the output instead of stopping execution.
