CreateOrder

This section describes how to create a replacement order in Global‑e.

In this section:

API Call

API Endpoint: CreateOrder

POST request URL: https://connect2.bglobale.com/checkout/CreateOrder?merchantGUID=XXXXX

Assumptions

Replacement orders must include products that are recognized by Global-e. Each product has to be provided to Global-e in advance.

  • By default, the replacement order will be created with the same shipping service and shipping details of the original order, unless explicitly specified in the create order call.

  • The end customer will not be charged for any additional cost (shipping cost difference and fees such as remote area fee) associated with the shipper upgrade.

  • The destination country of the replacement order should be the same as the original order – the country cannot be changed.

  • The replacement order will be automatically created as DDP (If supported by the shipper).

  • Order status validation should be made by the Merchant – Global-e will not apply any order status validation.

    For example, Global-e will not prevent the creation of a replacement order for orders that have not yet been delivered.

  • Billing details cannot be changed.

  • Added value replacement is not supported.

  • Global‑e does not save the relationship between the replaced products and replacement products.

  • Authentication method: Merchant GUID.

  • The CreateOrder API must be implemented using the cart item ID.

  • An OrderReplacementCreated email is sent upon successful replacement creation.

  • The reconciliation report includes the original order but does not include replacement orders.

  • The replacement order is not expected to be created in the e-commerce platform and there is no SendOrderToMerchant notification.
