How to export orders

Export orders from Shopently API for a date range. Follow cursor pagination with complete examples in cURL, PHP and Python.

Parameters

  • SHOPENTLY_SHOP_URL — Resource URL.
  • SHOPENTLY_ACCESS_TOKEN — Short-lived Bearer credential.
  • CREATED_FROM — Start of the creation-time filter.
  • CREATED_TO — End of the creation-time filter.

PHP 8.3 (64-bit, ext-curl, JSON) · Python 3.12 + requests · cURL 8 + jq 1.7.

How it works

Order lists and details include delivery.dates. YYYY-MM-DD dates are planned and do not confirm shipment. Current dates take precedence; older orders use the recorded estimate. Cleared or unknown values are null. Details also include all order lines and product images.

Obtain valid status identifiers from /api/v1/order-statuses. Order status and payment status use separate PATCH endpoints and permissions. Changing the recorded payment status does not charge a card or issue a refund through a payment provider.

delivery.dates: planned_dispatch_on, dispatch_timezone, estimated_delivery_from, estimated_delivery_to. Dispatch and delivery dates: YYYY-MM-DD; null. Dispatch timezone: IANA.

Order · Totals

Amounts and tax rates come from the saved order, including item corrections. Missing history is null and is never replaced with current catalog tax rates. Monetary values remain decimal strings.

  • tax_country_code · Tax country · Recorded order snapshot · ISO 3166-1 alpha-2; null.
  • lines[].unit_* · One unit · Before discounts; lines[].original_total_* · Before discounts; lines[].total_* · After discounts.
  • lines[].discount_* · Discounts; manual_discount · Manual discount; percentage "10" = 10%.
  • delivery.net / tax / gross · After discounts; delivery.original_* · Before discounts; delivery.discount_* · Discounts.
  • tax_rate: "0.23" = 23%; "0" ≠ null. Unknown: null; known zero: 0.
  • totals · Totals; tax_breakdown.groups · Tax groups; Unallocated tax = order.tax − Σ groups.tax; ±.

The list returns summaries. Fetch GET /api/v1/orders/{order_id} for each result to export full financial details. GET retries are bounded; respect Retry-After. A creation-date export does not synchronize later corrections.

payment.amount is the order total. Payment status does not establish amounts paid, refunded or outstanding.
