Post-checkout API tutorials overview
If your team decides to build and host your own order status page, use the Post-checkout API endpoints to get the order data to display to customers.
The best practice is to retrieve data at the following times in the workflow:
- When the order is created, get the customer, order, and order details to populate the page.
- While a shopper is picking the order, poll the endpoints to update the order status, item states, and chat.
- After the shopper checks out, either update the shopper's location for delivery orders or provide pickup instructions for pickup orders.
