How do I check the status of an order through the API?

I am getting a list of orders from Clover for a merchant. I want to go through and do something with only the orders that are finished. For example, no "open" or "pending" orders. On my developer device the order shows "Status: Open" vs "Status: Paid".


I tried "paymentState", but that shows "OPEN" either way. I want to use "state" which shows either "locked" or "open". However, the docs say:

'Non-null values such as "open" and "locked" are not checked or enforced by the server. Therefore, these values should not be used to make any logical decisions about the Order."'


How should I be checked for the status of an order?

You can use paymentState but you must expand certain fields (payments, refunds, credits) - https://community.clover.com/questions/23985/same-order-id-having-different-paymentstate.html.

One quick question. In the post that you linked to, you mentioned that there is a bug with it and that it should not be relied on. Do you know if that has been resolved yet or not?

No the bug has not been fixed and I don't expect it to be anytime soon. As is the field cannot be relied on but with the proper expansions it can be.
