Not able to create customer for a order while creating an order on sandbox account using API

Hello Everyone,

I was trying to add customer information alongwith creating an order on sandbox account using API but cannot do so. I can create order successfully but customer info. doesn't went along with it. Below is the json I was using within json format of order creation:

"customers": [ { "customerSince": "", "firstName": "Just", "lastName": "Happen", "addresses": [ { "zip": "123456", "country": "India", "address3": "street 3", "address2": "street 2", "city": "city", "address1": "#123", "id": "", "state": "Haryana" } ], "emailAddresses": [ { "emailAddress": "rohitpandey@gmail.com", "id": "", "verifiedTime": "" } ], "cards": [ { "last4": "1234", "firstName": "", "lastName": "", "cardType": "", "id": "", "first6": "987654", "expirationDate": "", "token": "" } ], "id": "", "phoneNumbers": [ { "phoneNumber": "7696070761", "id": "" } ] } ],

Please suggest what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks!

As per the documentation: https://www.clover.com/api_docs#!/ord...

Only supports basic order creation. Valid fields are limited to taxRemoved, note, title, and orderType. Adding line items must be done in separate calls.

You will need to add customers with an additional API call.

Thanks mike for the response. Then how will I relate that customer to a particular order?

Also, how can I get customer information related to a particular order as fetching a single order does not include customer information within the json response?

Relating customers to an order will need to use the Update Order API

For getting customer data in an order. Please check out our API expansions, specifically expand=customers.
