How to add a shipping address to the order
Last updated
You need to add a shipping address to a draft order. For example, you've added a billing address to an order but you don't want to use the same address for shipping.
To add a shipping address to an order, first you need to create the new address and then associate it with the order as its shipping address. To do that:
Send a POST request to the /api/addresses endpoint.
Send a PATCH request to the /api/orders/:id endpoint, setting its shipping_address relationship.
The following request creates a new address:
curl -g -X POST \
'https://yourdomain.commercelayer.io/api/addresses' \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer your-access-token' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json' \
-d'{

}The image below shows how each field of a typical shipping address form is mapped to a specific field of the address or order objects.
In this case, first you need to retrieve the list of the customer addresses, and then associate the selected one with the order.
To do that:
Send a GET request to the /api/customer_addresses endpoint and include the associated addresses — the list is automatically filtered by the customer associated with the access token.
Send a PATCH request to the /api/orders/:id endpoint, setting the selected address ID as the _shipping_address_clone_id.
Please note that the _shipping_address_clone_id is the ID of the selected address object, not the ID of the customer address object.
The following request retrieves the list of customer addresses:
curl -g -X GET \
'https://yourdomain.commercelayer.io/api/customer_addresses?include=address' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer your-access-token' \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json'On success, the API responds with a 200 OK status code, returning the list of customer address objects and the associated addresses:

}See our documentation if you need more information on how to create an address, list customer addresses, update an order, get a customer token, or include associations.
When checking out an order as a logged customer — i.e. with a — you might want to give them the possibility to select a shipping address from their address book instead of creating a new address.
