The PluginPartner Create Order Api module enables Magento 2 stores to allow mobile or external applications to place orders for existing customers via a REST API endpoint. This is ideal for mobile apps, kiosks, or other third-party systems that need to place orders programmatically without accessing the Magento admin panel.

Additionally, the module provides a mobile menu in the Magento admin panel to view API logs and details, making it easy to monitor and troubleshoot orders created via the API.

• Place orders for existing customers using a simple REST API endpoint.
• Supports specifying payment method, shipping method, and multiple items.
• View all orders placed via the API in a dedicated logs section.
• Admin menu “Create Order API” with submenus for:
• Order API Logs – View detailed logs of API requests and responses.
• API Details – Shows endpoint usage, request format, and instructions.
• Fully compatible with Magento 2 checkout and payment workflows.

Place the module under the directory: app/code/PluginPartner/CreateOrderApi

Run the following Magento CLI commands: php bin/magento module:enable PluginPartner_CreateOrderApi php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento cache:flush

Confirm the module is enabled: php bin/magento module:status

Place a Quick Order

POST Endpoint:

http://your-website-domain.com/rest/V1/create-quick-order

Body Params:

{ “entity”: { “email”: “jhonDoepluginpartner@gmail.com“, “paymentMethod”: “checkmo”, “shippingMethod”: “flatrate_flatrate”, “items”: [ { “sku”: “Some-SKU”, “qty”: 1 } ] } }

email must belong to an existing customer in Magento. paymentMethod should match the active payment method code. shippingMethod should match the active shipping method code. items array contains SKU and quantity for each product in the order.

View API Orders

All orders created via the API can be viewed from the Magento admin panel: Admin Menu: Create Order API > Order API Logs This shows a detailed history of each API request including:

Customer email Order ID Items ordered Payment and shipping method used API request timestamp and response

API Details

Admins can view endpoint configuration and sample requests: Admin Menu: Create Order API > API Details This section provides guidance for integrating mobile or external applications with the module.

How it Works

Mobile app or external system sends a POST request to /rest/V1/create-quick-order with customer and order data. The module validates the customer, payment, and shipping information. A Magento order is created automatically, triggering standard order workflows. API request and response are logged for administrative review.
