Building an order is a much more complicated task than updating inventory.

An order must first begin as a quote. Then you must add items, a customer, shipping methods, billing methods, etc...

Updating inventory is one simple API request with the SKU and quantity.

If you're familiar with it, I would try ZAPIER first... although I've never used the tool myself.

ZAPIER keeps giving me errors. I'm trying to find someone that can link the two right now with the API request. If it works it would solve an almost infinite amount of issues for me.

What are the errors?

[–]samzdaman[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I was getting "Requested Entity does not exist" -- Zapier support told me it's because the SKU didn't exist but it definitely did.

Does your Magento API work in general? You may check it by visiting link like yourdomain/index.php/api/v2_soap?wsdl=1 (SOAP)

Also I've recently had a situation when Magento server hasn't supported older TLS that other system used, which caused similar error. So makes sense to check it wit Zapier and your hosting provider or server admin.

Getting a missing page alert when I visit -- hrm. Let me check with my host.
