Prerequisites

None.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Limitations

If you provide an invalid value for Transaction ID or Parent ID, the Snap is not validated. The Snap ignores the invalid values and processes the operation.

Known Issues

None.

Snap Settings

Field Name	Field Dependency	Description
Label*	N/A	Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify the default name to be specific and meaningful, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline. Default Value: Create Transaction Example: Create_Transaction
Version*	N/A	Specify the Shopify API version. Alternatively, click the Suggestion icon to fetch the list of supported Shopify API versions and select a version. Default Value: 2021-07 Example: 2021-04
Order Id*	N/A	Specify the order ID for which you want to create a transaction. Default Value: N/A Example: ORD9
Number of Retries	N/A	Specify an integer value to set the maximum number of reconnection attempts that the Snap must perform, in case of connection failure or timeout. Default Value: 1 Example: 2
Retry Interval (Seconds)	N/A	Specify the duration in seconds for which the Snap must wait between two reconnection attempts, until the number of retries is reached. Default Value: 1 Example: 2
Snap Execution	N/A	Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it. Default Value: Execute only Example: Validate & Execute

Example

Managing Order Transactions

This example Pipeline demonstrates how to manage transactions—starting from creating transactions for an order, performing an order operation, getting transactions, and finally deleting the order. SnapLogic Documentation > Create Transaction > Managing_Transactions_Pipeline_Image.png
This Pipelines includes the following key steps:

Creating an Order
Creating a Transaction
Performing order operations
Getting Transactions

We use four Mapper Snaps to transform the data before each step.

Initially, we configure the JSON Generator Snap to pass the following data.

Next, we configure the first Mapper Snap to pass specific data relating to line items and tax amount.
SnapLogic Documentation > Create Transaction > Mapper1_config.png

Upon validation, the Snap generates output as follows.

Create Order: We configure the Create Order Snap to create an order with the inputs (line items and tax amount) from the upstream Snap. Upon validation, we see the order details in the output preview of the Snap.

Next, we configure the second Mapper Snap to pass the transaction data of the order as input to the downstream Snap.
SnapLogic Documentation > Create Transaction > Mapper2_Config.png

Upon validation, the Snap generates the transaction data as follows.

Create Transaction: We configure the Create Transaction Snap to create a transaction for the order. Upon validation, we see the transaction details in the output preview of the Snap.

Next, we configure the third Mapper Snap to pass the order details.
SnapLogic Documentation > Create Transaction > Mapper3_Config.png

Upon validation, the Snap generates the output as follows.

Order Operations: We configure the Order Operations Snap to cancel the order. Upon execution the status of the order is displayed cancelled in the Shopify application.

Next, we configure the last Mapper Snap as follows.
SnapLogic Documentation > Create Transaction > Mapper4_Config.png

Upon validation, the Snap generates the following output.

Get Transaction: We configure the Get Transactions Snap to get the transaction details for the created transaction. Upon validation, the Snap gets the transactions as we see in the output preview of the Snap.

Delete Order: Finally, we configure the Delete Order Snap to delete the order. Upon validation, we see the status as success which indicates the order is deleted.
