Updating Shipping details for digital orders using API

[vijaykrpp]

I am using paypal Standard checkout using Rest API for digital orders. As soon as the client pay, the order is marked as COMPLETED. Now, I have to update the shipping details by going to txn page => Add Tracking info => Select order status => Order processed (Tracking no. not required) => submit.

I tried to do this using API by first getting the orderID from https://api.paypal.com/v2/payments/captures/{payment ID} and then getting the order details from https://api.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders/{order_id};

But couldn't understand how do I update this status and which endpoint will work? Updating a number of orders manually is very tedious.

Good day @vijaykrpp 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

To update the order status and shipping details using the PayPal REST API, you can utilize the Orders API. By using the "get" Order API, you can fetch the order details. To do so, please use the following link:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_get

To update the order status and "shipping address" details, kindly refer to the link provided below:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_patch

Merchant should first perform Create Order API( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create) call and then redirect the customer/buyer to "approve" URL. 

Once the order is approved by the customer/buyer, merchant should perform CaptureOrder ( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_capture) API call and customer/buyer should pass the valid funding source. This will change the order status to "Completed".

If you are still experiencing issues, please create an MTS ticket via the following URL  - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US  .Please ensure that you provide detailed information and error details when submitting the ticket.

Sincerely,

Hi,

The order status is already COMPLETED status. Now, I have to add the shipping status. The /v2/checkout/orders/{id} endpoint => You cannot update an order with the COMPLETED status.

I am using Javascript SDK to create  buttons for the checkout.
