Overview

You can use this Snap to update details of an existing order.

Prerequisites

None.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines. 

Limitations

  • API versions: Shopify releases new API versions every quarter. Each stable version is supported only for a minimum of 12 months. Part of a Shopify API is deprecated if it becomes unnecessary, unsafe, or outdated. The API’s are marked as deprecated when they are removed in a newer version of the API. The deprecation is then retroactively applied to previous stable versions of the API.

  • API Rate Limit: All Shopify APIs are rate-limited. Shopify uses various strategies to enforce rate limits, such as Calculated query cost, Request-based limit, and Time-based limit. 
    Shopify Snap Pack uses admin APIs, which are applicable for Request-based limit. If the APIs cross the rate limit, the Snap fails.

Shopify Behavior

Troubleshooting

ErrorReasonResolution

"402 Payment Required"

The requested shop is currently frozen. You need to log in as admin user and pay the outstanding balance to unfreeze the shop.
"404 Not Found"The requested resource is not found.The resource could be available again in the future.

"406 Not Acceptable"

The requested resource is only capable of generating content, but not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request.N/A
"409 error"This is an intermittent error that you can encounter when there is a conflict in your orders, products, or customer data. For example, when you use unsupported characters.Check for the conflicts in your metadata and rerun the Pipeline.
"422 Unprocessable Entity"

The request body was well-formed but contains semantic errors. You can encounter a 422 error from a variety of scenarios including, but not limited to:

  • Formatting of the input is incorrect.

  • Checking out products that are out of stock.

  • Canceling an order that has fulfillments.

  • Creating an order with tax lines on both line items and the order.

  • Creating a customer without an email or name

  • Creating a product without a title.

The response body provides details in the errors or error parameters. Fix the error parameters as given in the error description.
"422 empty entity error"You might be sending null or empty or unsupported data. Check the data and fix the null or empty data.

"423 locked"

The requested shop is currently locked. Shops are locked if they repeatedly exceed their API request limit, or if there is an issue with the account, such as a detected compromise or fraud risk.

Wait for Shopify to unlock your account after the specified amount of time, after which you should be able to continue working on your Pipeline, or contact support if your shop is locked.

"429 Too Many Requests"Shopify APIs use different API rate-limiting methods. If the APIs exceeds the rate limit, the Snap fails.See the API Call Limit documentation for a breakdown of Shopify's rate-limiting mechanism.
"500 Internal Server Error"An internal error in Shopify application causes this error. Post the error details to the API and Technology forum so that Shopify staff can investigate the issue.

"501 Not Implemented"

The requested endpoint is not available on that particular shop, for example, requesting access to a Plus-specific API on a non-Plus shop. This response may also indicate that this endpoint is reserved for future use.N/A
"504 Gateway Timeout"The request could not complete in time. Shopify waits up to 10 seconds for a response.Break down the request in multiple smaller requests.

Example

Updating An Order

This example Pipeline demonstrates how we can update an existing order.

We configure the Get Customers Snap as follows. We do not specify the Resource Id, because we want to get the list of all customers. Upon validation, we get the customer's list in the output preview.

Get Customers Snap ConfigurationOutput

Next, we configure the Mapper Snap by passing the required details to create an order for a specific customer.

Upon validation, we see the following order data in the output preview of the Snap.

Next, we configure the Create Order Snap to create an order.

Create Order Snap ConfigurationOutput

Next, we configure the second Mapper Snap to pass the required details as highlighted below to update the order.

Upon validation, we see the order details in the preview of the Snap.

Finally, we configure the Update Order Snap to update the order with the output from the upstream Mapper Snap. Upon validation, we see the following updated order details in the output preview of the Snap.
