Orders
Use the orders API to create and manage data related to ecommerce purchases in HubSpot. This can be especially useful for keeping HubSpot data synced with external ecommerce platforms, such as Shopify and NetSuite.
For example, when a buyer adds a set of products to their cart and makes a purchase, store that purchase as an individual order. You can then update that order with tracking information once the shipping label has been printed. Because this information is stored in a property, you can reference it in emails that you send to notify customers that their package is on the way.
To create an order, make a POST
request to crm/v3/objects/order
.
In the request body, you can include the properties
and associations
objects to set property values and associate the order with other CRM objects (e.g., contacts and line items). Learn more about order properties and associations below.
Order details are stored in order properties. HubSpot provides a set of default order properties, but you can also create your own custom properties using the properties API.
To include properties when creating an order, add them as fields in a properties
object in the request body. For example, the request body below would create an order with some basic order and shipping details based on the information provided by the buyer at checkout.
The response will include the information you provided during creation along with a few other default properties.
You can associate the order with other HubSpot CRM objects at creation by including an associations
array. You can also use the associations API to update existing orders after creation.
In the associations
array, include an object for each associated record using the following fields:
Fields | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
toObjectId
| String | The ID of the record that you want to associate the order with. |
associationTypeId
| String | A unique identifier to indicate the association type between the order and the other object. Below are the CRM objects that you can associate orders with, along with their
To see a list of all association types, check out the associations API documentation. Or, you can retrieve each value by making a |
For example, the POST
request body below would create an order that's associated with a specific contact and two line items. Properties are also included below the associations for setting initial order information.
Depending on the information you need, there are a few ways to retrieve orders:
- To retrieve all orders, make a
GET
request to/crm/v3/objects/order
. - To retrieve a specific order, make a
GET
request to the above URL and specify an order ID. For example:/crm/v3/objects/order/44446244097
. - To retrieve orders that meet a specific set of criteria, you can make a
POST
request to the search endpoint and include filters in the request body. Learn more about searching the CRM.
The response will include a few default properties, including the create date, last modified date.
To return specific properties, include a properties
query parameter in the request URL along with comma-separated property names. For example, making a GET
request to the following URL would result in the response below:
/crm/v3/objects/order?properties=hs_order_name,hs_source_store
To view all available order properties, you can query the properties API by making a GET
request to crm/v3/properties/order
.
Learn more about order properties.
You can use the search endpoint to retrieve orders that meet a specific set of filter criteria. This will be a POST
request that includes your filter criteria in the request body.
For example, to search for all orders placed at a specific store, you would make a POST
request to crm/v3/objects/order/search
with the following request body:
To retrieve an order along with its associations, make a GET
request to crm/v3/objects/order/{orderId}/associations/{objectName}
For example, to retrieve an order and its associated contacts, you would use the following URL:
crm/v3/objects/order/{orderId}/associations/contact
This will return the IDs of the currently associated contacts, along with meta information about the association type.
You could then use the returned IDs to request more information about the contacts through the contacts API. For example, you could retrieve the contact using its ID by making a GET
request to crm/v3/objects/contacts/{contactId}
.
Note that the filters
array specifies the search criteria, while the properties
array specifies which properties to return.
To update an order, make a PATCH
request to /crm/v3/objects/order/{orderId}
. In the request body, include a properties
object containing the properties that you want to update.
For example, if you wanted to update an order with the shipping tracking number, you could send the following request body:
The response will include a set of default properties along with the property that you just set.
To update the associations for an existing order, make a PUT
request to /crm/v3/objects/order/{orderId}/associations/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}/{associationTypeId}
. You can also use the associations API.
See the associations section for associationTypeId
values for order-to-object associations. You can also make a GET
request to /crm/v4/associations/{fromObjectType}/{toObjectType}/labels
.
To see all a list of all values, check out the associations API documentation.
For example, to associate an existing order with an existing payment, you would make a PUT
request to the following URL:
/crm/v3/objects/order/{orderId}/associations/commerce_payments/{paymentId}/523
The response will return a set of default properties along with an associations
object containing information about the association that you set.
To remove an association from an existing order, make a DELETE
request to the following URL:
/crm/v3/objects/order/{orderId}/associations/{toObjectType}/{toObjectId}/{associationTypeId}
For example, if you wanted to remove an associated payment from an order, your request URL would be the following:
/crm/v3/objects/order/{orderId}/associations/commerce_payments/{paymentId}/523
When managing your order data, you may want to use some of the common properties in the table below. To get all order properties, make a GET
request to /crm/v3/properties/order
. Learn more about using the properties API.
