Hey!

At the moment I’m trying to post a order to a local Shopware 6 store, with my php application and using the Admin API.

To achieve this I’m using the following endpoint:  
[http://127.0.0.1/api/v3/order](http://127.0.0.1/api/v3/order)

This is the error I’m receiving:  
{  
„errors“: [  
{  
„code“: „0“,  
„status“: „500“,  
„title“: „Internal Server Error“,  
„detail“: „Argument 1 passed to Shopware\Core\Checkout\Cart\Price\Struct\ReferencePrice::\_\_construct() must be of the type float, null given, called in /var/www/html/vendor/shopware/core/Framework/DataAbstractionLayer/FieldSerializer/CalculatedPriceFieldSerializer.php on line 73“  
}  
]  
}

I cannot go into the code and fix this error in my Shopware 6 instance, because then my clients would have to do that as well.

**Can I insert a order in a Shopware 6 store with the Admin API, if so could you tell me how?**

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Thibaux,  
you can find a documentation about using the API from one of our developers here:  
[https://swagger.docs.fos.gg/?urls.primaryName=Management%20API%20(6.3.5.4)#/Order](https://swagger.docs.fos.gg/?urls.primaryName=Management%20API%20(6.3.5.4)#/Order)

If you are using the newest version of Shopware 6 you should also use the Management API over the admin API.

Kind regards,   
 Tim Bruns

Hey Tim!

Thanks so much for you answer. Thank you for the link to the Swagger doc, I found that one all ready, I used it in my body. Could you please show me the difference between the Management- and the Admin API? I can’t find any documentation on a Shopware Management API.

Below I have included the body fields that are required. And the response that I’m receiving. Do you see anything wrong?

Your help is really appreciated!

…

Same result using your body (with my own UUID’s).

This broke the order overview in the backend of my backend ☹

Hey,

Sadly no, however I did manage to create an order with the Store API.  
I used this documentation: [Shopware Store API | Store API](https://shopware.stoplight.io/docs/store-api/storeapi.json)

To get this working I needed to make a lot of calls, see below:  
 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/shopware/original/2X/f/fd0a1253fb9ecd14ce29dc2da536829c20be336f.png)

The endpoints and request bodys for these calls are shown in the documentation above.

If you would like to do this: don’t forget that you need to use the contextToken that you recive from the login call to use with the other calls.

Succes!
