Posting Order to Test Merchants

For some reason, when I post an Order (with Order Items) via the REST to a test merchant, it never shows in the Dashboard. I can "find" it by searching via the Order ID, but it never shows in the standard Orders list. Is this by design, or am I creating the Orders/Items incorrectly?

If anyone else has this issue, it appears as though the employee element is required for these to show up properly in the Dashboard. ("employee" : { "id: "xxxxxxx"} }.

Try setting the order's "state" field to "open".

Yeah, that's what I thought, too...but never shows up like a standard order. I basically set the STATE to OPEN and then just a bare minimum in the payload, and then add a single item. If you can confirm they "should" show up on a test merchant when creating via the REST API I will continue to experiment.

Well, there's no magic it has to be a difference in your order. I can suggest you get the JSON for an order you can see in the dashboard and compare it to yours.
