placeOrder mutation

The placeOrder mutation converts the cart into an order and returns an order ID. You cannot manage orders with GraphQL, because orders are part of the backend. You can use REST or SOAP calls to manage orders to their completion.

Perform the following actions before using the placeOrder mutation:

• Create an empty cart
• Add one or more products to the cart
• Set the billing address
• Set the shipping address
• Set the shipping method
• Set the payment method
• For guest customers, assign an email to the cart

Syntax

mutation: {placeOrder(input: PlaceOrderInput): {PlaceOrderOutput}}
