The Order Object

Orders are a core part of Crystallize. The order object has the following key components: Customer, Cart, Payment, Total, and other additional information. Let's take a look at each of these.

In order to perform these operations, ensure that you have the proper authentication (if necessary) and user permissions.

Customer Details

Once a customer places an order, the order is pushed to Crystallize. Here, we store the customer’s name, birthdate, contact details, and addresses (shipping and billing address). The example below shows what the Customer type looks like:

Cart Information

Cart information includes details regarding the products purchased: name, variants, SKU, images, quantity, price-related information, subscription data, etc.

Payment Information

The Crystallize Order API clearly defines major payment gateway providers and also supports any other implementation. You can read more details on the supported payment gateways or learn how to build your own custom solution. Shown below is an example when the payment provider is Stripe.

The total field gives you price-related information including the gross price, net amount, currency, discount, and tax. Here’s how you can query this field:

Metadata and Additional Information

An order can contain more information aside from the what is contained in the fields discussed above. Any meta information provided with the order can be accessed via the meta field. The same goes for any additional information as well.
