/create_order

With PayNearMe, an order is required any time money moves or is scheduled to move. Orders can be created or “staged” at the time of payment where each transaction has a unique Order ID (via the /create_order API call) or can be created beforehand as reusable identifiers for consumers (via an SFTP bulk file upload). At a minimum, the following parameters are required to create an order:

• order_amount
• order_currency
• site_customer_identifier
• order_type
• order_is_standing

🚧 Sequential Processing Requirements

When using the /create_order API, please ensure that requests sharing the same site_customer_id are not made in parallel. Sequential processing of these calls is required to avoid race conditions and to ensure data integrity.

📌 Return Minimal Info Option

Sending return_minimal_info=true option ensures that PayNearMe will only return the pnm_order_identifier and the pnm_customer_identifier in the order object. This reduces load time and overall bandwidth and can save money on network bandwidth expenses.
