Place order using Magento Rest API - Issue

Question

Magento 2 API docs

1. http://devdocs.magento.com/swagger/#/
2. http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/rest/list.html

I am trying to place an order using magento 2 REST API. What i have done so far is given below,

1. Created an empty cart(quoteCartManagementV1: /V1/carts)
2. Added item to my cart(quoteCartItemRepositoryV1: /V1/carts/mine/items)
3. Assign billing and shipping info to my cart(checkoutShippingInformationManagementV1 /V1/carts/{cartid}/shipping-information)
4. Checking out using the cart I created above(quoteCartManagementV1: /V1/carts/{cartid}/order)

I have performed first three of the above four steps successfully, but while performing step no. 4 I am getting the following response from magento 2 REST API,

{"message":"Please enter a customer email."}

My Request against this response was,

{"paymentMethod":{"method":"checkmo"}}

Is there anything wrong in my work flow? Please help!!

Answer 1

1. Get Customer Token

http://magento-host/index.php/rest/V1/integration/customer/token?
[email protected]&password=test@123

• method : POST

---

2. Get Cart ID (Quote ID) - using customer id.

This will return quote id, which will be used for placing an order.

http://magento-host/rest/V1/carts/mine

• method : POST
• Authorization : Bearer <customer token>

---

3. Add Configurable product in cart.

http://magento-host/index.php/rest/default/V1/carts/mine/items

• method : POST
• Authorization : Bearer <customer token>
• body data : json

---

{
  "cartItem": {
    "sku": "HKrh15hc", <product SKU>
    "qty": 5,
    "quote_id": "75", <Quote ID - Cart ID [see. step 2]>
    "product_option": {
      "extension_attributes": {
        "configurable_item_options": [
          {
            "option_id": "93",
            "option_value": 49
          },
          {
            "option_id": "141",
            "option_value": 168
          }
        ]
      }
    },
    "extension_attributes": {}
  }
}

Now, this will save your configurable product in your cart.

4. Get & put Shipping Information.

http://magento-host/index.php/rest/V1/carts/mine/shipping-information

• method : POST
• Authorization : Bearer <customer token>
• body data : json

---

{
    "addressInformation": {
        "shippingAddress": {
            "region": "MH",
            "region_id": 0,
            "country_id": "IN",
            "street": [
                "221,Baker-street (e)"
            ],
            "company": "Lumos",
            "telephone": "12345678",
            "postcode": "400001",
            "city": "Mumbai",
            "firstname": "Aditya",
            "lastname": "Shah",
            "email": "[email protected]",
            "prefix": "address_",
            "region_code": "MH",
            "sameAsBilling": 1
        },
        "billingAddress": {
            "region": "MH",
            "region_id": 0,
            "country_id": "IN",
            "street": [
                "221,Baker-street (e)"
            ],
            "company": "Lumos",
            "telephone": "12345678",
            "postcode": "4000001",
            "city": "Mumbai",
            "firstname": "Aditya",
            "lastname": "Shah",
            "email": "[email protected]",
            "prefix": "address_",
            "region_code": "MH"
        },
        "shipping_method_code": "flatrate",
        "shipping_carrier_code": "flatrate"
    }
}

5. Get payment method.

http://magento-host/index.php/rest/V1/carts/75/payment-methods

• method : POST
• Authorization : Bearer <customer token>

---

6. Place an order.

http://magento-host/index.php/rest/V1/carts/mine/order

• method : POST
• Authorization : Bearer <customer token>
• body data : json

---

{
    "paymentMethod": {
        "method": "checkmo"
    }
}

And finally, this will return order ID, which you just placed!
