Tips

Here are some tips when using various partner endpoints. We'd also recommend looking into the recipes to guide you based on your use case.

Creating an Active Company

Before creating an order for a Company, the Company must be in an Active status. Upon initial creation of a Company, the Company will be placed into an Inactive status. To get the Company into an Active status, add one or more contacts that fulfill all primary contact constraints. A Company is required to have a primary Contact for each Contact Type ("Admin", "Billing", "Technical"). One contact with all three types and marked as primary for each type is sufficient

Placing Test Orders

In order to test your integration, you may want to place test orders. The create order endpoint takes an optional
?isMock=true query parameter that causes the API to validate your order, and error if not. If the order is valid,
It is not actually placed, and you will not have created any data in the Pax8 system.
