FAQ

How to associate or disassociate a custom-field with a specific order?

In this case, the endpoint PUT orders/{order_id}/custom-fields/values (link with documentation) should be used, which overwrites the custom-fields associated with that order.

If you would like to create new custom-field associations, the following body should be sent:

[
{
"id": "9dda74d1-5dc9-43bd-90e2-4dce3b5f3835",
"value": "Started"
},
{
"id": "0e271b50-bf27-433c-84cc-57d88f283e73",
"value": "2024-01-01"
}
]

If you would like to remove a single custom-field association, the following body should be sent:

[
{
"id": "9dda74d1-5dc9-43bd-90e2-4dce3b5f3835",
"value": null
}
]

On the other hand, if a custom-field have two associations and you would like to remove all of them, the following body should be sent:

[
{
"id": "9dda74d1-5dc9-43bd-90e2-4dce3b5f3835",
"value": null
},
{
"id": "0e271b50-bf27-433c-84cc-57d88f283e73",
"value": null
}
]

Important: the custom-field must already be created for the entity.

It's possible to delete all custom-fields with the DELETE endpoint?

Only those created by own App. Custom-fields created by another App or by the merchant can't be deleted.
